Citizens of Brentwood,

As mayor of Brentwood, I wish to welcome our two new council members to our city leadership, which has gained respect and recognition throughout the county for its accomplishments.

As we approach another holiday season and the year 2011, one could only hope that our progress continues in a most positive way. As mayor, I look forward to another progressive year and would like to assure residents that they can feel secure in their everyday lives with city leadership.

I wish to thank all our veterans and public safety personnel who guard and protect our families on a daily basis, the city staff who runs our city in an efficient manner, but most of all I thank our citizens for making this city a wonderful place to live. The residents of this community continue to show kindness and respect to our churches, schools and our many organizations that affect our everyday lives.

The mayor and first lady give our sincere wishes for a wonderful holiday season.

May God continue to bless our country and our city.

Mayor Robert (Bob) Taylor, Brentwood
