INITIATING DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Department SUBJECT: An Ordinance Granting Site Development Plan Approval for a New Building At 350 Hanley Industrial Court PRESENTER: Whitney Kelly, Director of Planning and Development [PAGE 8] Tyson Pyle, Architect with Arcturis BACKGROUND: The property received a variance on October 24, 2024, and site plan approval on November 18, 2024, Ordinance No. 5162. for the renovation and modification to the existing structure for a pergola that would project in front of the non-conforming buildings. However, the building was determined to not be structurally sound to withstand the renovation and code requirements, and the approval has since lapsed. The property is zoned LI-Light Industrial District with FP-Floodplain Overlay District, where Section 400.1390(D) requires site plan approval by the Board of Aldermen with recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission for all proposed developments with the LI-Light Industrial District. The proposed new building will meet with the front yard setback. The property received a variance for the rear yard setback on December 3, 2025, where the existing building sits at 7.17 feet from the rear property line. The variance granted approval of a new 3 story building within the same 7.17 feet from the rear property line to tie into the existing connections to the other buildings on the site.

Bill No. 6589 - An Ordinance Approving An Agreement With CivicPlus For Agenda And Meeting Management Solutions Software - 1st and 2nd Reading SYNOPSIS: Staff is seeking approval to enter into an agreement with CivicPlus for [PAGE 9] the implementation of an agenda management system. INITIATING DEPARTMENT: Administration PRESENTER: Octavia Pittman, CMC/MPCC, City Clerk BACKGROUND: The Board of Aldermen previously approved an agreement with BoardDocs for the implementation of an agenda management system designed to streamline the workflow associated with compiling and publishing meeting agendas and packets. In 2024, the City was notified that BoardDocs would transition to the Diligent Community platform. Since that transition, staff has faced challenges with system functionality and workflow processes, resulting in inefficiencies beyond what was anticipated. In response, staff conducted research into alternative agenda management providers. Key staff members participated in demonstrations from eScribe, MunicipalOne, and CivicPlus to evaluate comparable platforms and capabilities. Following the review process, staff recommends entering into an agreement with CivicPlus for the following reasons: The City already utilizes CivicPlus for website management, allowing for a smoother and more efficient transition. CivicPlus provides dedicated implementation support and training, helping ensure a successful rollout with minimal disruption to staff, elected officials, and the public. The CivicPlus platform more closely aligns with the City’s operational needs and desired workflow for agenda and meeting management. CivicPlus will import all existing data from both BoardDocs and Diligent at no additional cost, reducing staff workload and transition risk. CivicPlus includes built-in accessibility review tools to help ensure all posted documents comply with accessibility standards for individuals with disabilities. After presentation to the Ways and Means Committee, members requested a demonstration of the software to gain user awareness. FINANCE/OPERATIONS: If approved, implementation would begin in March or April 2026. The goal is to complete data migration, implementation, and staff training within approximately 10–12 weeks, with no interruption to meeting services. A detailed implementation timeline will be provided upon approval. [PAGE 10] The City budgeted $14,328.63 in FY26 for an agenda management system, with a planned annual increase of 3% in subsequent years. CivicPlus has proposed a cost of $10,745 for FY26, which reflects multiple applied discounts. The FY27 annual fee will be $11,582 and will be subject to a 3% increase in each year thereafter. RECOMMENDATION: At the January 21st Ways and Means Committee meeting, staff presented the CivicPlus Agenda Management System for consideration. The Committee expressed interest in undergoing a demonstration of the system and unanimously voted to recommend approval to the Board of Alderman contingent upon the results of a demonstration to the full board. The demonstration was scheduled on Thursday, January 29th. The Board will engage in a discussion to determine further action.

Roll Call Vote C. Resolution No. 1578 - A Resolution Amending Resolution No. 953, Adopting A City Vehicle Policy For The City Of Brentwood Employees SYNOPSIS: Proposed Amendment to the Vehicle Policy for City Employees INITIATING DEPARTMENT: Human Resources SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to the Vehicle Policy for City Employees PRESENTER: Tangula Bell, SHRM, Human Manager BACKGROUND: During FY2026 budget discussions, inconsistencies were identified between the current vehicle usage policy (adopted in 2012) and the City’s present practices. Over time, employee roles and vehicle usage have evolved, creating the need to update the policy for accuracy and alignment. [PAGE 11] Proposed changes to the current policy, Exhibit A: City Vehicle Policy: Category Two: Remove, as these positions no longer receive a monthly vehicle allowance. Category Three: Remove the positions of Assistant Police Chief, Superintendent of Streets, and Parks Maintenance/Superintendent. Add positions of Major of Community Policing, Major of Administration, and K-9 Officer to reflect current structure. Category Four: Remove the position of City Administrator, as this role no longer uses a City vehicle. Category Five: Remove the position of the police officer assigned to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DBA) Task Force, as this program no longer exists in the City of Brentwood. City vehicles are no longer to be used for personal use. All proposed changes are incorporated into Exhibit B: Updated City Vehicle Policy. The policy explains identifies who is an authorized drive of City- Owned vehicles, usage of radio, communication systems or cellular use when operating a city vehicle, requirements for operators, general operational policies, accident reporting requirements, inspections, compliance with IRS regulations, disciplinary penalties, personal commutes and errand for those who have emergency operations responsibilities. Furthermore, when the city conducts background checks, we go as far back as a record exists for that individual. Thus, if a candidate had a traffic violation or suspension 20 years prior, it’ll show on the report. The report will also show when the license was reinstated (this is also available in Casenet for most cases). The standard is 10 years look-back period. Please note, there are no tax implications for the City because the Police Chief’s vehicle qualifies as a non-personal use vehicle under IRS guidelines. FINANCE/OPERATIONS: These updates do not create any new financial obligations beyond what has already been considered and is being discussed during the Fiscal Year budget process. RECOMMENDATION: There was unanimous approval from the Ways and Means Committee of the amended City Vehicle Policy and to add this to the Employee Handbook.
