Tour of Brentwood

City Government
Settled in 1874, the City of Brentwood was incorporated in 1948 as a General Law City. The City Government consists of an elected two-year term Mayor and four City Council members who serve four-year overlapping terms with municipal elections held every two years. The Council member receiving the most votes during the election earns the honor of serving as the City's Vice-Mayor.

The City Council holds regularly scheduled meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in Brentwood City Hall Council Chambers starting at 7:30 p.m.

The City Council appoints interested citizens to various commissions, as well as standing and ad hoc committees, to advise the Council in the administration of City matters. These include the Planning Commission, Brentwood Economic Development Committee, and the Bike Path Committee. The City of Brentwood enjoys a supportive and progressive relationship with the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce.

The City has also formed a Redevelopment Agency, and adopted two active redevelopment project areas within Brentwood's established areas. The City's Economic Development Department administers redevelopment activities.

The City's incorporated boundary currently totals 5,668 acres (1996) within a sphere of influence totaling in excess of 15,000 acres. An additional 3,000 acres are within the Brentwood Planning Area adjacent to the sphere of influence.
