Trenier following an announcement of his death.

The Mobile Fire and Rescue Department announced Trenier's death and recounted his years of service to the department. During a point of personal privilege, a councilor asked that a petition to rename Creighton Station begin immediately and requested \"an answer within two weeks, please.\" The speaker's name is not clearly identified in the public transcript.

Council Member Penn replied that he had already spoken with Fire Chief Johnny Morris and with chief staff, and that \"we are already in the process in making that happen. ... The family has already been contacted as well,\" according to the meeting record. District 1 council remarks later in the meeting reiterated the Trenier family's long history of service to the city's fire department and said the district would work toward changing the station name following a celebration of life.

No formal resolution or vote to rename the station was recorded in the meeting minutes. The record indicates the administration and councilmembers plan to follow up with the family and proceed after the family's celebration of life; the meeting did not set a formal date for action or a required process for renaming.

Deputy Chief Alexander G. Trenier was described in the meeting as having joined the Mobile Fire Department in April 1987 and rising through the ranks, most recently serving as deputy district chief. The meeting record lists surviving family members as wife Donna, daughter Jennifer, and son John Michael, who serves as a captain on Engine 14.

At the Feb. 20 session the council did not vote on a renaming ordinance; the matter was presented as a request and as administrative follow-up rather than a formal council action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Mobile City Council Meeting Feb 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After the Mobile Fire and Rescue Department announced the death of Deputy Chief Alexander G.

The moves clear major finance and procurement steps for the arena project. \"Those are monumental moves,\" Mayor William S. Stimpson said after the votes, adding that the city expects to \"go to the market\" for the bonds \"maybe March 5\" and that once the financing is secured \"it'll be game on.\"

The ordinance (listed in the meeting as 84010) authorizes up to $250,000,000 in principal for general obligation warrants, series 2025A. The council took the action during the regular meeting with motions to approve; the transcript records the motions, seconds and general assent but does not record a numerical roll-call vote or a tally in the minutes.

The council also authorized a contract (listed in the meeting as 21403) with BL Harvard International for construction of the New Mobile Arena. City staff credited engineering and cost-estimating work by Volkert and by Sam Matheny for the project's current cost estimate; the meeting record does not include a final, line-item project budget or a complete funding source breakdown.

Mayor Stimpson said staff and the city's financial advisors will complete remaining preparatory steps before selling the warrants. The council did not specify final debt service schedules, funding sources, or an exact construction start date during the meeting.

Next steps identified at the meeting include taking the bonds to market and completing contract preconditions. The city did not provide further public details on procurement milestones, the total guaranteed maximum price, or the timeline for arena completion at the Feb. 20 session.","The Mobile City Council approved an ordinance to authorize up to $250 million in general obligation warrants and authorized a construction contract with BL Harvard International for the New Mobile Arena; Mayor William S.
