[3:01] That's a lot of the product about them and the question to come to me about the city, which doesn't mean we're going to do something about the ban entirely. I don't think that's possible consistent of the law. But the law requires is that, if you want to get maybe see glasses, because it is right, it is, to be honest, it's about to say every single word, it has to be approved in the city council. That is virtually the same line where just for some liquor glasses. So when you look at that case law, the denial of approval on the city
[3:31] is a reviewable law court for monitoring your precious
[3:34] standard name.
[3:35] Have you looked at that, in case,
[3:37] OK, so this is your reconsidering less specific applicant,
[3:41] where you consider the impact of the sale of that product
[3:43] on surrounding territory, the traffic concerns.
[3:48] I hear you probably don't want to have it next to a school.
[3:51] For example, something like that,
[3:52] that would make ready much more sense.
[3:54] That would be consistent with the city's police powers.
[3:57] And I did find a case dealing with deliver context
[3:59] where a CDM decided they were not having it and they just denied all applications and the court said, well, it's really not consistent with what it is now.
[4:08] We've got to actually look at it in the case by case rate so she can't just have a blanket be not.
[4:12] So I think, like we've done with other products or other issues, the CDM is temporary moratorium until you've got to go to some standards, some moves and regulations that fill in.
[4:22] So, you know, some reasonable regulation about how you want to manage this product, I think the one conversation is three months.
[4:30] So, okay, that's it.
[4:31] So, it's a 90-day recommendation, a resolution of one that's here for a 90-day, which should be within.
[4:39] Our firm doesn't really recommend anything really beyond a year, because it's helpful and it's a legal product,
[4:46] but you could probably give up to be or be not sufficiently satisfied with what they've been
[4:51] developed in the United States.
[4:56] Thank you.
[4:56] I'd ask Grace to explain that.
[4:58] Is there any other questions that we can counsel on that?
[5:00] Because that is on the next agenda, on that 90-day warrant or until we get a process of police.
[5:08] So those systems, they don't have harmful effects on one of our teenagers that bring
[5:20] do you want to remove those fat products?
[5:22] Well, I don't know if there's an age limit or if you can purchase them, I have to look
[5:27] back at the law.
[5:28] Now, there are requirements in the statute that there's been only so much of a substance
[5:33] in a particular product and that they have to prove that to the state you're testing.
[5:38] And those would be the types of concerns that you would want to weigh in terms of developing
[5:43] a regulatory gene.
[5:44] So, like I said, maybe you know that you would want about the patient in the next school or next
[5:49] Next to a poll, next to a place where number of people tend to congregate, you might have an additional setback, you might have some differences in the size of the signage.
[6:01] There's a lot of things that you could do that would be a reasonable regulation for something like this that does make it an impact on those circumstances.
[6:10] Thank you.
[6:12] Thank you.
[6:13] That was all you had tonight.
[6:15] All right.
[6:15] We're going to start very important.
[6:25] Good afternoon.
[6:27] I wanted to bring to you all the attention of this building here.
[6:33] This is our way building, which is the homestead of Team Street 31, that is the white building that's
[6:43] Saturday night on this being the sidewalks being put right beside it with just put it
[6:51] each sidewalk in front of it.
[6:54] This building on the bottom floor exists right now of four sit-out restaurants so if
[7:09] If you'll see, to the bottom right hand cover, that one has a, I call it the eagle cafe
[7:21] right there on the back right.
[7:24] So we're working on the plans there and then above that, they are elevated with a set
[7:28] of steps, too, that goes up on top of it.
[7:33] So you can sit up on top and be able to enjoy watching the kids play and watch the
[7:42] ban on display and stuff like that.
[7:45] So the room to the front left corner is I think around 80 something seats there, real
[7:56] nice.
[7:57] We look at it different type of people, different type of restaurants to come in, to give us
[8:04] service, and say like the Eagle Cafe might be a breakfast to meet and pray, and then
[8:11] up front might be a nice steak house in that.
[8:15] So we have Jeff Rousey, which we've hired for the city, to start looking for us some tenants
[8:22] for these bills.
[8:23] So, the one on the top up there is basically a little area for the people it stays on the
[8:34] second floor of Montaille.
[8:36] Say, if you want to come down and get a soda, go in and do some of those shopping, some
[8:45] quick shopping and things like that, shirts, wherever you're using them stuff, that's what
[8:51] That's designed for a quick pick up and go, basically, for the people that's up top in the motel.
[9:00] So, just wanted to brief you all on where we stand today, I want to, that's our second phase drawing.
[9:11] So this is, basically, the runs, the motel runs on the left side.
[9:18] I will weigh up, you can see, it's one of those motel runs, and then also as we go all
[9:27] way over to the right, that area is the one that's going to be like our rooftop city area.
[9:35] So we've got a few more changes to make, but really it's come of all ways in climate design.
[9:45] So, once we get to this point, ask the star, and then we're going to keep going with it to try to get this little gap.
[9:55] This is the third floor, which gave us two multi-o rooms, but I'm trying to look at some of the area up there to, well, that is the third floor now.
[10:09] So he has, he has to consideration of some more rooms up there on the third floor.
[10:16] So it's a lot of area up there that won't go loose, I was scared.
[10:22] I don't want to loose up and I want as many rings as we can get for the last.
[10:27] So we've been looking into also exploring whether we as a city can operate that, maintain.
[10:38] so we're still talking with the lawyer and all we're still looking at that so I feel the general public
[10:45] are not the where we are today with that way bill. When we was last year we were way behind so we moved forward as we go, my goal was to get it finished
[10:59] get us some restaurants downtown so and I think that's the council's go to
[11:05] so we moved in for that so this is one of let everybody know to get your
[11:11] tickets from this Saturday night the Nashville contribution show it will be at
[11:18] the soccer fields so if you have already got your tickets you buy your tickets at
[11:23] at the gate. So this is our first big event as the city of Clera that wouldn't be putting
[11:30] on for a guy's field concert music show. So I appreciate all the support we can get
[11:39] there for him. So also, you know, I'm coming to you with, with Clera, we, we don't have
[11:47] free ice cream here. That's from 1 to 3 at the City Hall this Friday.
[11:59] So we've got that
[12:02] here. I'll be here. I'll get somebody the one that can give you ice cream. Hopefully we have
[12:08] a lot of people that think some of the sponsors there. Bill Davis is one element
[12:15] that supported all the ice cream and stuff for us to give to our citizens and all workers.
[12:24] And also, I just wanted to mention something, and I really want you to kind of keen the
[12:29] air around just a little bit.
[12:31] So, a bit of working with the capsule members here for budget for this year.
[12:40] But we've been in the last month and a half too much when we knew the budget.
[12:46] So in 2000 and won, the City of Clearance budget was $1 million.
[12:54] Remember what I said, $1 million, today's budget, in 2026-27, our budget is $51.6 million.
[13:10] So, Mr. Lynch, you know how much the city has grown over the past 25 years is a huge
[13:19] experience.
[13:21] After this time, we've seen change, and we're going to continue to see change.
[13:31] We're going to meet Gary Palmer, our congressman, this past week, and Gary was talking about
[13:38] data centers. One thing Gary said, but data centers is coming. Whether we want
[13:47] it or not, they come. We fight the war today with AI.
[13:55] We're teaching our kids
[13:56] at school starting this year, AI. So what I'm telling you is change.
[14:07] People in
[14:08] here and I want to know that when I come up and I had my business moving I had a phone
[14:16] get a phone and that phone was in my van. That phone would pick
[14:27] it off the top of the
[14:29] house and come down and actually phone to continue my business. So what I'm telling you today
[14:36] look where we gonna be in the future for these kids on AI. It's here, it's real.
[14:45] or that we want to accept it or not,
[14:48] I'm telling you,
[14:50] it's economy,
[14:52] it's happy today.
[14:55] We're flying drones,
[14:57] we're flying people.
[14:59] Fighting.
[15:01] That we have today, an hour of disowning pray, that our government settles this war. It
[15:12] took us tremendous heat on us,
[15:19] Americans.
[15:22] You've got to really think about how much
[15:25] It's cost us billions of dollars when they decided on when they decided to quit.
[15:35] And here at the city, my job is to work for you and try to help you.
[15:43] All of you citizens move forward with Calir.
[15:48] We are moving forward in the last couple weeks with our senior center, and I'm on that
[15:58] grocery colony.
[16:00] We got a new plane coming for our seniors to be able to get that right that they want.
[16:08] So we take every concern that every citizen comes and we act on it.
[16:16] But we don't this bush, I'm afraid.
[16:18] I have concerns every day.
[16:22] It's stacy of say.
[16:24] It's your brain up to me.
[16:26] We won't respond.
[16:27] We need jobs.
[16:29] We do.
[16:31] And I know what's coming.
[16:32] It's going to blow up on us.
[16:34] I know.
[16:35] Because we got a great development.
[16:37] Trying to happen here on 25 before you get to the exit.
[16:43] tonight is a vote on the economic development plan. Once that's done, we'll be waiting on the
[16:53] developer to present his flight to the summit. So it's a lot of things in the mix here. A lot of
[17:03] things hasn't been done. But I think that if you really step back in time and look in 25 years
[17:12] over this city hall, there's $1 million budget and look when we have to date with a $51.6 million budget,
[17:22] and we still are not in there. Thank God for our previous meeting. That makes sure that
[17:34] he kept us right. And it's our job as a council to stay right. So just want to say thank
[17:40] y'all. I know I'm bad out of force, but I brought y'all up to par on everything I've come
[17:47] up with us tonight when we get through our council to win and we'll deliver a budget
[17:56] and the budget is is 84,000 to the good tonight. We don't have a deficit budget. Most cities
[18:08] has a deficit budget that they have to go in. You have to beat and fight down but we've already
[18:16] taken care of that as we are here tonight with the council. So we've been working
[18:23] to jump with all of our council members to make sure that we got everything
[18:29] that we want. I'll make one more thing and I'm going to put me in Wendy but we
[18:35] are looking at our new plan in brother deals.
[18:43] We do what we call a comprehensive plan
[18:46] of that area, what that does is it shows us everything that we're wanting to do and making sure we put it in the right place.
[18:56] So our senior center building, if that's where it's going to be, will it fit?
[19:01] If we want to splice my head or would it go?
[19:04] There's different things there that we're looking at.
[19:07] We're also looking at all of our park, all of the fields there.
[19:11] And we look at it that so that can be a part of a resolution that's coming tonight.
[19:17] So just keep it everybody up the par of what all happens inside this city hall.
[19:26] In a day's time it a lot and I love doing it and it's a pleasure to be able to work for
[19:36] these citizens and make it happen.
[19:39] So thank you.
[19:42] Thank you Mayor, and one more thing on that meeting that he's required to, we had lunch with Congressman Palmer.
[19:49] He does have a data signature coming, but he also talked about the right way to do it.
[19:53] And we put a more Tori moment to get our plan in place so that we do it the right way.
[19:59] So we don't want to be caught off guard because it is coming.
[20:02] So just to echo that, you know, we're going to get our plan in place and make sure that we have a proper place, proper way to do it.
[20:09] So now we'll move into our council report as I'll start with Mr. Turner.
[20:17] Thank you.
[20:18] First of all, I am just pleased and grateful by knowing the city is as well to Mr. Henry
[20:26] Prince.
[20:28] The second vice commander for the American Legion post, 555, for the display that we have in
[20:36] City Hall.
[20:36] He is just dynamic with getting all that information and presenting it, that is the historical
[20:47] war, exhibit, and we're just so grateful that he's allowing us to share it in our community
[20:55] here in the lobby in celebration of our 250 year history, honoring the men and women who served
[21:05] sacrifice their lives for our freedom. So we will be able to display it here until August
[21:16] the Field Family and we want everyone to be aware so they can come back and look at
[21:23] the information and become aware of how our service man served for us and that for our freedom.
[21:35] and just have one question and that's what's going on. I do it right down the dates that
[21:44] we have, what's the meaning more and more, would you please bring the information again?
[21:49] We have our first meeting tonight and then next week is going to be a Tuesday night. I'm
[21:54] at 6.30 and then it will be the following Monday after the council meeting and then each week
[22:01] the following Monday, not on the 6th.
[22:05] Okay, that's all I have.
[22:07] Thank you so much.
[22:10] Thank you.
[22:10] And thank you for the museum of Mr. Grace.
[22:13] That's awesome.
[22:16] I believe that Mr. Morgan is important to be very grateful.
[22:21] I just want to thank the Water Department for the hard work that they have been doing over
[22:29] the past couple of weeks. I noticed that there was a dinner uptaping in some of the water
[22:36] weeks and water outage throughout the city. I know that hot-hided-as-being isn't working
[22:45] around the rain and so on. So I just want to get them a shout out and that would not much
[22:49] represhape that hot work and all the employees as well. And I also just a reminder that he
[22:57] We did that we had this weekend, the country, concert looking forward to that, and action
[23:07] on our citizens to please get behind and support that, because this is what it's taking place
[23:13] is, you know, we're action to have different events, and we want our citizens to come out
[23:20] support these things and that's what help us to be able to put other events on
[23:27] so we just ask that. You guys come out and have a good time and we enjoy it.
[23:35] That's all I have. Thank you, Mr. Davis.
[23:39] Yes, I want to kind of reiterate that what Councilwoman just said, two big events this weekend,
[23:44] and the first Friday coming up and also for the network
[23:47] and the music that has come up Saturday.
[23:49] So I'm really excited and I want to say
[23:52] just I appreciate all the city employees
[23:54] and workforce like really high
[23:56] at least in the next couple of weeks.
[23:57] So I'll say for my wife,
[23:58] I appreciate all that you do.
[24:00] Some of that, you don't see it all,
[24:01] but let me just keep going even though we were high
[24:04] in the house around making things happen.
[24:06] So I'll start with that, I appreciate it.
[24:08] Thank you, Ms. Vars.
[24:10] I don't have anything to like to say to you.
[24:13] All right. A few things. I wanted to touch on. We are from our attorney grays on the
[24:20] single will, you know, just reiterating that's a 90-day moratorium on the agenda tonight
[24:24] first to get our policy in place that we want to, you know, hold them to the standards of
[24:29] clear. We've got two resolutions that the mayor talked about in an apartment meeting
[24:35] for GMC to provide us some designing and planning work. Oliver Park and Eagle Drive has to
[24:41] of the 30,000 rowing heels is going to be 43,6,000.
[24:46] I did talk to Cali.
[24:47] We have the money, if I have any other expenses,
[24:50] so we can go ahead and take care of that.
[24:52] If we go to before that tonight.
[24:55] We also only agenda the public hearing
[24:57] for the economic development district.
[25:00] That will be a public hearing.
[25:02] They did pass planning its own unit honestly,
[25:05] so we'll hear that tonight.
[25:07] and then just to reiterate the budget meetings so they're about to get here we
[25:14] have one tonight all of them in this meeting at 6.30 so as soon as we've
[25:18] turned to the publisher Tuesday August 11th at 6.30 is the second one Monday
[25:25] August 17th immediately following the council meeting on the third one if we
[25:31] need them we have one scheduled Monday August 24th at 6th and Monday August
[25:36] that's 31st at 6 p.m. But if we don't need them, we'll cancel those and make sure we get
[25:41] that this out in time to do so. But again, the first of these meetings is to discuss
[25:46] the proposed 2026, 2027 budget.
[25:51] That's all I wanted to hit on in my report. We have Mr.
[25:56] Keith Strickland, if you want to talk about the, just now we talked about the GMC proposal.
[26:02] That's on the agenda of two resolutions.
[26:05] Good evening, council members.
[26:07] As Drew mentioned, we've got two proposals in front of you.
[26:11] Both of them are on the master planning level.
[26:13] One of the proposals is with your rolling heels property
[26:17] on about the interstate.
[26:19] I'm going to take a comprehensive look at the entire property.
[26:22] The current amenities that you have also the proposal
[26:24] and the amenities that you then want to add.
[26:27] And we'll do a master plan and budget exercise
[26:29] to help you understand what the opportunities are with property and what the cost to develop
[26:35] and to improve it would be the second proposal of similar in nature for an honor park and
[26:43] eagle park. This is going to be more on the sports side of course where it will be looking
[26:48] at your current facilities, meeting with staff to talk about what the facilities you may need
[26:52] to add and taking a deep dive into the budget on what these might cost. We've got some things
[26:58] in mind that we've already been thinking about, so we've got some ideas we're going to dive into.
[27:03] But both of these proposals are going to give you some budget numbers that you can use
[27:08] and setting your budget for the coming years and making some decisions on the future capital projects.
[27:14] So both of these, again, are a national planning level proposals.
[27:19] They're not detailed design.
[27:21] Those will come later once some decisions are made.
[27:24] But these are going to give you some visuals and budget numbers to help even have decisions going forward.
[27:31] Thank you.
[27:31] Any questions from Mr. Ferdinand?
[27:35] I think most of what if this could improve tonight?
[27:39] How soon would we get started on this?
[27:42] We need to start immediately.
[27:43] We're talking about pretty aggressive schedule on both of these.
[27:46] For approved tonight, I won't go ahead and give my team a product reach back out to you tomorrow
[27:51] to get something made on the property schedule for the next two weeks.
[27:58] Can we go to those and we'll be finished then probably
[28:00] there about three months.
[28:02] That's for my question.
[28:04] Thank you.
[28:05] I'll stick around to you.
[28:07] All right.
[28:07] Here's what you've got in the night.
[28:10] John, then you want to talk about the angels of this one?
[28:13] Yeah.
[28:18] So, basically, one of the things I want to talk about is the CEO Clear got a letter from
[28:24] the Adem Malvan Department of Environmental Management designated us as a phase two stormwater
[28:30] city, which means that we will now have to put in some ordinances and different things that
[28:37] will be around stormwater, runoff and things like that, especially protecting Buck's Hacking
[28:43] free, which is designated as a 303D, so it has an impairment. Free collides look up the
[28:50] list, so we'll have to kind of, and see if you kind of think about how we do some of
[28:54] those things moving forward and put a program in place to make sure that we
[28:58] address A on concern. But we're going to be moving forward with that delirious
[29:03] impairment, and then we as the city will have to comply because we are part of a
[29:08] 50,000 people's statistical area with Pellum alabaster, so everybody kind of gets detonated
[29:15] in that whole area.
[29:17] Good.
[29:18] Thank you.
[29:20] So, no, though, it was a part of that tonight, but as we heard, there'll be witnesses kind
[29:24] of our way for us to get along with that.
[29:27] The last thing I wanted to mention before our council meeting is several meetings together.
[29:31] We hired a company to do our pay study for our departments.
[29:36] We talked about that in our department head meeting, which is to kind of make the public.
[29:41] That study came back, and we were, it looks at, you know, anybody between 80% and 100% of
[29:51] the pay scale, and we were pretty much there.
[29:54] The only, we had four employees, the four positions in three different departments that fell
[29:59] That's all that ain't...
[30:00] 100% to 100% range, which is amazing. That means we're competitive with our pay, doing the right things here at Calirra, with fair pay. So those positions will be addressed in this 26, 27 budget to get all of our employees in that 80% to 100% range. On the CDN next to 97%, which is super good. And that was looking at cities that we compete against, you know, on a daily basis for employees and for pay.
[30:29] The cities that we looked at were Alabaster, Chelsea, Alina, Hoover, Northport,
[30:34] Pellown, Pell City, Trustful, Jefferson County, Shelby County, and then public
[30:39] native from Alabaster, Bradville, and Tuscaloosa.
[30:41] So cities that operate like us about the same size as us and then our employees and
[30:46] the department has compete with each other for employees.
[30:49] So it was good to see that we are competitive with our pay and we only had those
[30:53] four positions that will take care of the three different departments to get
[30:57] everybody that 80 to 100% raise. So good news there. And then again, our department
[31:03] has to be able to reach over to get your individual results for your department.
[31:08] That's all I have for tonight. From our report, our regular schedule council meeting will start
[31:13] at 6.30. Just about a minute and a half. We'll call that meeting to work.
[33:05] We thank you for the city.
[33:07] We look at the people who call it their home. We ask you to bless our mayor,
[33:13] of City Council members and all staff here this evening.
[33:19] You have them clear minds,
[33:21] place of hearts, and the wisdom
[33:23] to make good choices for our community.
[33:27] If everyone to listen to each other with respect,
[33:32] speak with kindness and to work together
[33:35] to solve problems and opportunities.
[33:39] Guard the discussion so that the word
[33:41] They bring peace, strength, and a bright future of the city of color in your name, Lord,
[33:49] your pray, and your name, Lord, your pray, and your name.
[33:52] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and Father Republic
[33:58] but it just stands on my nation, on your God, and in this law,
[34:03] but in this law, but in this law, and in justice for all.
[34:06] Thank you for this opportunity.
[34:08] Thank you very much.
[34:17] First, we have to approve our dinner tonight.
[34:19] I hear a motion to approve your dinner, as is.
[34:22] A motion to approve.
[34:23] And then a motion.
[34:25] How's that?
[34:25] About a second.
[34:27] A roll call, Turner?
[34:28] Yes.
[34:29] Board.
[34:29] Yes.
[34:29] Davis?
[34:30] Yes.
[34:31] Byers?
[34:31] Yes.
[34:32] Yes.
[34:32] I
[34:35] need to approve the minutes.
[34:37] The minutes from our regular meeting and work session
[34:39] on July 20th.
[34:41] Do I hear a motion to approve the dismiss?
[34:43] I move.
[34:44] I'll second.
[34:45] Got a motion on the second roll, Paul Turner.
[34:47] Yes.
[34:48] Morgan, yes.
[34:49] Davis, yes.
[34:49] Byers.
[34:50] Yes.
[34:51] All right, moving on to new business.
[34:55] We have Alabama State Senator April Weaver here
[34:59] from District 14.
[35:01] We'll step forward.
[35:05] Thank you.
[35:06] Thank you for having me to meet you tonight
[35:08] As I came in, I was just admiring the timeline for the 250 celebration, so I'm just going to tell you how wonderful I think that is and thank you all for recognizing that you're in the city hall.
[35:20] Mayors, is this a surprise that I'm here tonight?
[35:24] Yeah, there he is.
[35:26] I was speaking with the mayor last week, and I was telling him about the surprise that I was bringing to the city tonight.
[35:34] is it appropriate for me to ask Mrs. Skade to come and win me up here?
[35:44] I actually know her for a very, very long time.
[35:47] So excited about her being at the Collier Library.
[35:51] It's not often that the Alabama State Senate has some discretionary funds,
[35:56] but it has some discretionary funds tonight for $10,000 for the library.
[36:12] It's not your mark for anyone's specific thing, so whatever you may or decide, and so you also decide who wants to end it all, and you're just the money.
[36:19] Thank you so much. I appreciate this. Thank you.
[37:03] We want to thank you for that generous donation.
[37:07] I know Janet would have been good to use and just be sure to be happy and grateful for
[37:12] that.
[37:12] I know the library can use it in great parts.
[37:15] You'll order any communities.
[37:15] Thank you.
[37:22] All right.
[37:24] So we'll move on to Drew, our art and director,
[37:27] he will speak all their positions.
[37:34] In that restructuring, our senior center,
[37:37] how we are employee structures,
[37:40] we've looked at in every city's how they're structured,
[37:44] titles and job duties for each one of those individuals.
[37:47] And so what we're trying to do is look at ones that are working
[37:51] and successful and trying to mimic that with our structure
[37:55] and how we're doing it.
[37:56] So that's why you're seeing two different positions.
[37:59] Today, one is the Recreation Coordinator for the Senior Center.
[38:03] This person is mainly going to be responsible for day-to-day activities, but the seniors
[38:07] come up with new activities kind of running those activities throughout the day.
[38:12] The next one is the Supervisor for Operations for the Senior Center.
[38:16] This person has been going to kind of overlook the entire center, all the way down to the building,
[38:22] looking at grants for Senior Center.
[38:25] Also, doing all the different paperwork for M4A and all the different programs that we have with the seniors.
[38:32] Along with this, we've heard from the senior centers and me and James have looked at a software because we've gotten concerns of rides.
[38:43] Not being able to get rides to the senior center.
[38:46] So we're also looking at bringing in a software where they can call, set up a ride and be picked up the next day.
[38:52] That way, because we want the senior center to be open to all that want you come, that eligible to come.
[38:58] So I think us implementing that will get more there, and then I think us restructuring with these two positions,
[39:04] one will allow us to get with the pay structure on there, highly qualified individuals,
[39:10] where we can start elevating our senior center program, and then as well get more there.
[39:17] Any other questions?
[39:18] If you know mine, you can briefly explain that nobody job is what to be handed as orders.
[39:32] We move them anyone so that they don't should want to be not going to public.
[39:37] Yes.
[39:38] If you're employing currently at the senior center, you're not losing your job.
[39:42] This restructure actually helps out because it puts in a different pay range and actually
[39:48] benefits, employees in the senior center better.
[39:52] It's going to allow them to put more of her pocket each month.
[39:57] Because, again, based off the study, we want to be competitive
[39:59] and we want to be able to hire the best.
[40:02] And if we already have it, we want to be able to retain as well.
[40:06] And also, being in the parks and park director after I've been
[40:09] privileged to work in with, the youngest T-bollars all the way up to
[40:13] the senior center.
[40:14] So I want to make sure the same attention we get the kids find out if all we get to this in your center as well
[40:19] And I think this is a step in the right direction, but planning us wherever we want to be
[40:28] So Drew will you speak on this? I out this to say good and let the citizens know
[40:34] That if they want to ride they can call and then they can counsel. Yeah, so on and James nobody's on this feet
[40:44] So it's an app, but what we've heard is people struggle with technology lives.
[40:50] And so as this is, you call phone number, and then it'll actually automatically,
[40:55] if you want to be picked up the next day, you go to the senior center.
[40:58] It'll automatically add you to the route.
[41:00] And then whenever our bus driver gets in in the morning, it'll turn on his iPad,
[41:05] and it'll have his app, his app will show him the layout.
[41:09] Now, who needs to pick up and don't give it the best way to pick them off the most efficiently.
[41:14] And so, that's the biggest concern we've had is seniors wanting to come but not being
[41:17] able to get there because the rise we previously had, they're full or they don't have there.
[41:24] This app also, if a person is in a wheelchair or takes a little bit longer to get onto the
[41:30] bus to get loaded, we can add that into the drive time where you get an accurate when you're
[41:36] on the way.
[41:37] So whenever the driver turns on the bus in the morning, you click, so I'm starting my route.
[41:42] The first person on the route will get a false and ham on the way.
[41:46] And so they can be ready whenever they get picked up.
[41:49] He clicks, they're on the bus.
[41:50] The next person automatically gets a call or a text and says, hey, we're in route to come get you.
[41:55] So it gives you time and lets you kind of know where the bus is.
[41:59] Also, if you want to come every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, whenever you call the phone server,
[42:04] You can set it up to every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and you don't have to call each week, but I'll automatically add you on there.
[42:11] Also, if you wake up Wednesday morning at 4 a.m., and you don't feel good, and you don't want to go to the senior center,
[42:16] you call this number and say, I don't need to ride today, and it'll automatically take you off, the list gets picked up.
[42:23] And so, this is super easy, and it's all on the phone and call.
[42:28] The only setup is to get people in there initially, we will have to input forms manually.
[42:33] Just that way we have addresses and everything like that, but once you're input the first
[42:37] comp, it's all automated on the phone.
[42:39] It's a 24 hour service, so you can call at 3.30 in the morning, you can call at midnight,
[42:46] you'll get the answering service and be able to prompt you on what you need to do to get
[42:50] you a ride.
[42:50] If you want to ride four, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
[42:58] I just want to say that is amazing, that's amazing.
[43:02] Thank you.
[43:03] We do listen.
[43:04] Thank you.
[43:05] Thank you.
[43:05] Thank you.
[43:06] Thank you.
[43:08] Any other questions?
[43:13] Thank you, Julie.
[43:14] We are talking about that as well.
[43:17] So this time, we'll see the motion in a second.
[43:20] We're going to move forward with the restructure
[43:22] and the senior center positions.
[43:25] I'll look at the motion.
[43:27] All right, we have motion in the second.
[43:29] We'll roll, Paul Turner.
[43:30] Yes.
[43:31] Morning.
[43:31] Yes.
[43:32] Yes.
[43:33] Yes.
[43:36] All right, next on the agenda is a proposal to move our October 19th, 2026 council meeting.
[43:43] Pushed that one week to October 26th, 2026.
[43:48] Mayor and myself and Mr. Morgan will be out of town at a conference represent in the city.
[43:53] So we're proposing to move that meeting just one week.
[43:57] Any discussion from the council about?
[44:01] I'll read a motion in a second.
[44:04] I'll make a motion.
[44:05] I'll sign that.
[44:06] I've got a motion in a second.
[44:08] Roll call, Turner.
[44:09] Yes.
[44:09] Morgan.
[44:10] Yes.
[44:10] Davis.
[44:11] Yes.
[44:11] Yes.
[44:14] So next year, thank you for publicize that.
[44:18] All right.
[44:20] Next, let me agenda. We have an alcoholic beverage control board, alcohol license application.
[44:26] This is for retail beer, all premises, retail table wine, all premises for the dollar general store.
[44:35] This is the viewer one at 1, 2, 2, 1, 5, by the way, 25 and clear up.
[44:41] So the motion the second to move forward on that, I move on the motion.
[44:46] I'll second.
[44:47] I'll motion on the second roll call, Turner.
[44:50] Yes.
[44:50] Morning.
[44:51] Yes.
[44:51] Davis.
[44:52] Yes.
[44:53] Yes.
[44:57] All right.
[44:57] Next on the agenda is resolution number 2026.
[45:00] Distached 46. This is the resolution establishing a temporary moratorium on municipal approval related to considerable hand products pending development of reviewed procedures. This is what we had. I'm just very excited to explain to us in the work session. It is a 90-day moratorium. Is there any discussion from the council on this?
[45:24] I'll be in motion in a second to move forward with a 90-day moratorium.
[45:32] Yes, yes, yes, all right next on the agenda is resolution number 2026-47
[45:42] That's the resolution on crossing the mayor to execute a professional service agreement with GMC for planning and design service
[45:49] This is the right of the all-out report that Kennedy will drive.
[45:52] We heard from Mr. Stricklin on that, kind of the proposal there.
[45:55] It's a $30,000 investment that would give us the national plan we need to move forward.
[46:00] Any discussion from the councilman now?
[46:05] If not, we'll be in motion in a second to move forward.
[46:07] I move.
[46:08] How's that going?
[46:09] We have the motion on the second roll call, Turner.
[46:11] Yes.
[46:12] Yes, Davis.
[46:13] Yes.
[46:14] Byers.
[46:14] Yes.
[46:15] Yes.
[46:17] Next is resolution number 26-48.
[46:21] This is along the same line, this is the resolution after asking the mayor to execute a professional service agreement with GMC for planning and design services related to the growing fields master plan.
[46:32] So, again, we heard from Mr. Strickland. This one is a $43,600 investment, but you know, get your right on papers so we won't do things hotspot, we won't do master plan.
[46:44] Any discussion on that before we have a motion in a second?
[46:52] Entertain a motion.
[46:55] I'll send it.
[46:57] I'll send it.
[46:57] Got a motion in a second.
[46:58] We'll call Turner.
[46:59] Yes.
[47:00] Morgan.
[47:00] Yes.
[47:01] Davis.
[47:01] Yes.
[47:02] Yes.
[47:06] All right.
[47:07] Next on the agenda is a public hearing.
[47:09] This is for August number 2026-10.
[47:12] This is an ordinance omending the city of Calirah.
[47:15] It's only ordinance to adopt a new zoning district.
[47:19] Article 5.23.
[47:21] This will be an economic development district.
[47:23] So we had public hearings and planning is only.
[47:26] they met on this. They passed the unanimously. Now it's before the council. Before we open the public hearing is there any discussion from the council on this one?
[47:36] I just had a question. This is the authority of the City of the County authority.
[47:48] As for as far as the City of the board members.
[47:54] This will be the plan in its own, so what they've already planned in its own has already
[48:04] reviewed everything and made all the changes that they want.
[48:09] So what now is coming to the council, for the council to accept it.
[48:14] So if your counsel accepts it, then it takes in place of all 25 here and also all 31 that's a academic driver for us.
[48:29] So then you'll do this, you'll do this, this plaque.
[48:33] And then the plaque, I've come for the plan of the Zoning.
[48:38] And then once that plaque comes to the plan of the Zoning,
[48:40] The zoning board will review everything on it and make sure everything is right in their
[48:46] perspective and if it's not, then they won't pass, but then they'll come to the council for
[48:53] fine.
[48:54] So this just makes that up to my fault.
[48:58] I don't think we would have any control over their board once they established it.
[49:04] But it was still at this point, still following the same procedures.
[49:07] Any other developer would bring their plan to us.
[49:10] They're going to have to bring theirs to be put.
[49:12] The plan was on into the room.
[49:13] And the policy on the room.
[49:16] But then there are stipulations in here about, you know,
[49:18] it's got to employ a certain number of people.
[49:20] It's got to be economically beneficial to the city to move forward with it.
[49:28] This time we'll open up the public hearing.
[49:30] If there's any comments from the public,
[49:33] You can step forward at this time,
[49:40] here from the public, to speak on that, we'll close the public airing.
[49:44] We'll need unanimous consent to move forward this one tonight.
[49:47] So that here, motion, unanimous consent.
[49:51] I'm motion
[49:55] on the second, unanimous consent.
[49:57] We'll roll call, Turner.
[49:58] Yes.
[49:59] Working.
[49:59] Yes.
[50:00] Yes.
[50:00] Yes.
[50:01] Yes.
[50:04] All right.
[50:05] Now it's going to vote for two without.
[50:07] I move on the motion.
[50:16] All right next
[50:25] we have ordinance number 2026-11, that's an annexation of lists from David
[50:33] Aronda Asimon at 155 Linda Lane on the ballot, Alabama 35-115 and this one has gone through
[50:41] all the checks from planning is only office. So it's before us tonight. I'm going to move forward with it.
[50:48] We'll be getting this consent as well.
[50:49] I'll
[50:53] make a version and then I'm going to use consent.
[50:56] Okay.
[50:57] All right. We'll call it turn.
[50:58] Yes.
[50:59] Morgan. Yes. Davis.
[51:01] Yes.
[51:01] Byrg.
[51:01] Yes.
[51:02] Yes.
[51:03] Actually, I had an analyst consent. It's in a motion to adopt.
[51:07] I'll make the motion to adopt.
[51:08] A second.
[51:10] I'll call it turn.
[51:11] Yes.
[51:12] Morgan. Yes.
[51:12] Davis.
[51:13] Yes.
[51:13] Byrg.
[51:14] Yes.
[51:14] Yes.
[51:15] Yes.
[51:18] Excited to welcome them into our city.
[51:20] Thank you.
[51:23] All right.
[51:24] Next we have award is number 2026-12.
[51:28] We are from Reggie and our department in meeting.
[51:30] This is just a painting of building code regulations to the new standard.
[51:35] This will all say need to be endless consent from the board tonight.
[51:40] I'll move.
[51:40] What do you have?
[51:43] I'll send it.
[51:44] I mean, I was going to say a roll call turner.
[51:47] Yes.
[51:47] Morning.
[51:48] Yes.
[51:48] Davis.
[51:49] Yes.
[51:49] Yes.
[51:50] Yes.
[51:51] Now it's the motion to adopt.
[51:53] I move on to motion.
[51:55] Is that fair now?
[51:56] I roll call turner.
[51:57] Yes.
[51:58] Morning.
[51:58] Yes.
[51:58] Davis.
[51:59] Yes.
[52:00] Yes.
[52:02] All right.
[52:03] This time I'm moving to our guest portion on the agenda.
[52:06] We have Main Street.
[52:07] I hear to provide us some updates and a recognition.
[52:16] I appreciate everyone.
[52:18] How did you do my job for me tonight?
[52:19] Okay, great updates on events.
[52:22] We have a super busy beginning ahead of us.
[52:25] Gary Cliera, and it's as Councilman Davis brought up.
[52:29] It's where citizens have been asking for Friday night.
[52:33] We have a lot of minor first Friday series wrapping up the summer
[52:38] with the back-to-school back,
[52:40] talk to a fast central state bank,
[52:42] or be a back path giveaway.
[52:44] It's a great opportunity to come out,
[52:47] meet your principals,
[52:48] some of the administrative staff, I know it can be a little nerve wracking
[52:51] send in as babies off to a new school but not knowing they're going to be with
[52:55] so whether you're new to the community or your child's attending schools
[52:59] it's a great opportunity to put faces with the people your children spend all day
[53:04] with. There will also be a school supply drive
[53:07] this your school supplies will be gathered and they will be distributed out to
[53:11] the counselors at each school so any child who shows up it needs something
[53:16] and you'll have the ability to receive school supplies.
[53:20] Lots of family fun, food trucks as well.
[53:24] As we close out first Friday season,
[53:27] it feels horrible to say this,
[53:29] but we are here now for balls.
[53:30] It is here, it is upon us.
[53:32] And with that, we do have our chunk of street event
[53:35] happening in the clear courtyard.
[53:37] We'll be the Thursday before Halloween,
[53:40] so October 29th.
[53:42] As in, here's passable, we opening the first hour
[53:45] with a sensory hour. We want you to have an experience that all families can
[53:51] enjoy and some children just aren't made for the overcrowded, shrunk, or
[53:56] straight chaos that we've all experienced before. So at first hours of into
[54:01] any child or family that will have sensory needs and maybe need just a little more
[54:06] quiet, chill time, not quite as new people. So there will be more details following that.
[54:12] To conclude tonight, I would like to ask you a couple of people to join me, Rick.
[54:18] I think you're hiding them.
[54:20] Maybe
[54:31] you know this structure of Main Street is built around the board.
[54:35] We are an nonprofit.
[54:36] We had a board.
[54:38] Rick has served on that board for many years.
[54:41] And I was joining the board.
[54:43] He was just always there.
[54:45] Even before, it's going to start bounding us in.
[54:48] And nobody did because he was just always there.
[54:50] And you sell him doing something different every time, even before the service on the
[54:55] main street board.
[54:57] To say he is the heart of what we have done, I think would be appropriate.
[55:05] In my time working with him, not only have I loved his counsel, our conversations, you've
[55:12] also become a very different.
[55:16] very sad to have him step down from the board, but I guess I was working too hard.
[55:25] So I wanted to take a moment to recognize you.
[55:30] Thank you for all that you've done.
[55:33] I'm sure that we're here.
[55:35] Indeed, in any of the other people that you've worked with, it's the same thing.
[55:39] We could not do it without being from the bottom of my heart.
[55:44] Thank you.
[55:45] Amy and Amy is a friend, so you're still going to have me fill out.
[56:00] Hey guys, Candice, maybe $20 to say something nice about Grace, so I'll give that.
[56:05] Yeah, I can.
[56:07] I want to take that something.
[56:09] When we first started, Main Street,
[56:11] a number that really gets homeless 84,
[56:14] and that represents the percentage of buildings that were empty.
[56:18] One of the first things that we heard as a board was that Claire Alabama was in fact divorced
[56:24] absolute last as far as Main Street in our occupancy.
[56:30] And it's been my pleasure to not only work with the mayor, the council, a great board,
[56:37] but individuals like you, Rick, you are the cop and it's citizens like you that give time.
[56:43] I wouldn't put a number on it, but I know you were 40, 50, 60 plus a week down there, and
[56:50] there was no time that Rick ever said no to anything I needed.
[56:54] And without him, we would not be here, period.
[56:58] Before I got another mic, though, because I can't believe they gave me the hot mic.
[57:02] I'll tell you a story.
[57:03] One time I was running around in the mayor called me, and I was with Rick, and he was in
[57:08] the car and we're trying to get stuff done, so I had to take off. And by an hour, they were
[57:13] going to call for a break and he said, you left me.
[57:18] So, it's a huge story. But I'm glad that you found your way back. And we're going to miss
[57:23] you. And I'm here for you, dearly. And I want to thank you from bottom of my heart as well.
[57:29] You are absolutely amazing, human being, and it's been my pleasure to just take on a
[57:41] Mr. Red, presenting this trophy year for being a recognition of your years of dedicated
[57:51] service, leadership, and support of the Claire of Mainesbury, also will thank you for
[57:58] to make a difference in having our community thrive.
[58:02] Thank you very much.
[58:04] Thank you.
[58:28] Thank you.
[58:29] Thank you very much.
[58:32] Thank you.
[58:32] Thank you.
[58:33] Thank you.
[58:34] Thank you.
[58:34] Sir, before you sit down.
[58:36] Yes.
[58:37] I think you had mentioned something about to the elderly.
[58:41] Yes.
[58:41] They want to apply for something.
[58:45] Again, you can address that.
[58:47] Absolutely, so if anybody would like to be part of Main Street,
[58:51] whether it's our board or committee, we have a lot of room.
[58:55] And starting in January, several of us will roll off
[58:59] and there will be a new board.
[59:01] So you can go on our website and go ahead
[59:05] and send us the email and apply there.
[59:08] You can hear more from us regarding that.
[59:10] Probably in November and December as we do a little bit closer.
[59:13] But that's been on our website for quite a while now, so, you know, it's open for anybody
[59:19] and we'd love to have the citizens participation because it's with them that it will really make this thing important.
[59:28] Thank you.
[59:29] That's all that is on tonight's agenda.
[59:31] Thank you very much and through adjourned.
[59:32] How much money can I get?
[59:34] How's it going?
[59:35] All of them ever say hi?
[59:36] Hi.
[59:37] We'll move to our budget meeting.
