Former Brentwood Mayor Mark Gorman sued by Governors Club Property Owners Association

A spring 2025 “ethics inquiry” turned ethics complaint against now-former Brentwood Mayor Mark Gorman has now resulted in a civil lawsuit.

The civil suit filed in the Williamson County Chancery Court alleges that the defendants breached their contract with the GCPOA, alleging they failed to maintain and disclose business and banking records.

The plaintiff, Governors Club Property Owners Association (GCPOA), leveled the allegations against Brentwood-based A to Z Subdivision Management, A to Z Access Control, an off-shoot company and Gorman.

As previously reported, the GCPOA began employing A to Z companies in 2022 and later terminated the contracts with both companies in early 2025, during and shortly after a heated Brentwood municipal election that saw Gorman ousted from office.

In GCPOA’s initial 2025 ethics inquiry, which preceded this lawsuit, questions were raised about Groman’s potential conflicts of interest, stemming from the association’s employment and subsequent termination of A to Z Subdivision Management, which GCPOA claimed was actually operated by Gorman. However, his wife, Ann, was listed as the company’s president.

“Absent a full and complete accounting by defendants, the GCPOA has found it difficult, if not impossible, to determine whether the defendants have accurately and completely accounted for all receipts and disbursements received by them as agents for the GCPOA,” the complaint reads in part.

The suit is seeking to obtain all business and banking records involving the defendants since November 2022, restitution of any potential “improper” payments and a monetary judgment for damages and lawyer fees.

The Williamson Scene has reached out to A to Z and Gorman for comment. We have not heard back.
