2011- 12 Considerations by the Brentwood City Commission
This summer the Brentwood City Commission certified an effective property tax rate of 44 cents per $100 value. That's the second lowest in the state for municipalities over 25,000 population and was the 21st consecutive year without an increase in our Brentwood City tax rate.
Also at that time, the Commission approved its 2011-2012 budget and Capital Improvements Plan for the next 6 years. Part of the annual budget included a donation to local Brentwood public schools in the amount of $225,000. On August 8th, the commission presented that donation to principals and representatives from the Martin Center, the YMCA, the BCS Chamber and the Brentwood Blaze.
Later in the year the Commission approved the Tapestry at Town Center condominum complex on Centerview Drive and a combination Alzheimer's/ Assisted Living accomodation, Morning Pointe, on Wilson Pike near Crockett Road. The year ended with our annual Christmas Tree lighting, reading of The Polar Express and the traditional Morning with Santa.
In 2011, purchase and plans were approved for Brentwood's newest park, Marcella Vivrette Smith Park. Construction models for the bridge leading into the park are currently being considered and work will begin by late Spring 2012. To keep up with the latest City Commission news...
