Blanton said the magazine will publish twice yearly in print, operate a frequently updated website and social‑media presence, and produce podcasts. He proposed a back‑cover advertisement in the spring/summer baseball issue, a full‑page placement in 78 magazine’s Story of Us issue, and a featured athlete sponsorship for two Jasper High School athletes as online articles.

Blanton described benefits including statewide visibility for Jasper, support for a local business, and publicity for student athletes. Council members asked whether Tailgate distributes on other platforms; Blanton said the project includes daily website content, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X and two podcasts (a weekly Tailgate podcast and a monthly Legends podcast in partnership with the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame).

Council directed staff to place the advertising proposal on the next work session so all council members could review the materials.

A council member asked whether a physical address exists for the property; Mr. McCarver responded that no address exists yet and that an address will be obtained when the placement is made. The transcript records this as an introduction only and contains no further detail on parcel identification, ownership, or specific zoning map changes.

Because the item was introductory, no motion, vote, or ordinance number was recorded in the meeting transcript.","Planning commission approved a rezoning request to change land at Gamble Avenue to R‑3 (affordable housing) to allow placement of a mobile home; the council received the introduction and took no action.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6299885,"Jasper council approves event permit, equipment contract, budget amendment and election ordinance",111,417000,528000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2495106-dddfe37b19c1d619c9aa992eaf873cd6&start=417&end=528","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2495106-dddfe37b19c1d619c9aa992eaf873cd6/thumbnail_417000.jpg","/articles/6299885/Jasper-City/Walker-County/Alabama/Jasper-council-approves-event-permit-equipment-contract-budget-amendment-and-election-ordinance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6299885-a7583303c96243473c5c9dd69964ab58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202249&Signature=VFhRKPafEygmbGObSgNNKdCQ7xfTNmvjalvL~v2UXYLnw2k-q14X0TFhOIIBVltJ~JQmBUu42YZ08QE2y0ShVnen2qjQEqUUkguaSfjh0Qn2YdqBH~ga6aDf-nJzzQ3UI1Q0k6VrTkTPRW4pQLGLDky3VGnVNi3JcIJPQoqz2NLwrgWR4ldQef7KmZZGSTCiqpxYDlJLj5r53Rg3ePbwmk82IR9wg97o~zIeH0ffimgSsmGU1lCoG~h0lD3EuemPIGB9ZuX~9fOxnzNyGn~gxBtMIeUawO4IzlLL5ec9tXfT93sGLgdnkURI9JO5oBwHH9l6Thzj6kYZw0ykBQMtug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jasper City Council approved a package of routine items including a downtown 5K permit for the Shamrock Shake, a contract for emergency vehicle lighting, a budget amendment for pool equipment and HVAC fencing, an ordinance approving the use of electronic vote counters for the upcoming August election, and permission to place Main Street sidewalk decals for Main Street’s 10th anniversary.

Kelly Barnes, city staff member, described the Shamrock Shake 5K and one‑mile fun run requested by Jasper Main Street for Monday, March 17; setup was described as 3 p.m., start time 6 p.m., and conclusion by 8 p.m. She said last year’s approved downtown route — starting and ending in front of the courthouse square with a requested blockage of Nineteenth Street between Second and Third Avenues — will be used again and that police, fire and street departments have given approvals.

Jessica Cook, city staff member, recommended awarding the contract for emergency vehicle lighting to Alabama Upfitters at $19,715 per vehicle. The council approved the contract.

Kathy (city staff member) presented budget amendment number 13, which she said provides funding to purchase two lifts for the outdoor pools and install fencing around the natatorium HVAC system; the total amendment amount was $20,500 and will come from the park improvement fund. The council adopted the amendment.

Cathy Chambers told the council an ordinance approving the use of the city’s electronic vote counters is required by the secretary of state’s office for the August election; the council voted to adopt the ordinance and approved use of the same equipment used by the county.

Mike Putman presented a request to place 10th‑anniversary Main Street sidewalk stickers downtown; he said the product is a slip‑resistant material designed for steps and treads and supplied locations for placement downtown. The council approved the decals.

Votes on these items were taken by motion, second, and voice vote; the transcript records affirmative “yes” responses but does not include a roll‑call tally or named vote counts for each council member.","Council approved a downtown 5K permit, a contract for emergency vehicle lighting, a small parks budget amendment, the use of electronic vote counters for the August election, and permission for Main Street sidewalk decals.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6299890,"Jasper City adopts ordinance to accept $1.4 million ALDOT ATRIP grant for SR‑78 improvements",308,188000,496000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2495106-dddfe37b19c1d619c9aa992eaf873cd6&start=188&end=496","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2495106-dddfe37b19c1d619c9aa992eaf873cd6/thumbnail_188000.jpg","/articles/6299890/Jasper-City/Walker-County/Alabama/Jasper-City-adopts-ordinance-to-accept-14-million-ALDOT-ATRIP-grant-for-SR78-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6299890-1c59e7ef85ff21d13df6d85c7372e08e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202249&Signature=MVzdNBNz712gvx1Xj5RYqdE7F7Y52gXrYt6fpzuBqFmdbY9tLfXBcNLc3Nuvt9MCuPXA5uoZuj1mIg7nvWe0QUQLuV~APkXCbg0EiDkbiuEL9Pix2UiPzwbbkjJrlmZb9rQ4lv-N4~spRdHmKE8J0CWIzImNIM1Dy3VSym0nwVH2HImq2ysn3FuaudxaZ1JFnjRZjk~F1JtojIYhrWLoLD6L9~ve1G8rX2rod7v3qZ-WekCcSTIfKlk-VfuolYL2b6Vty4EVLX3JOvB25icGNZktO1zGAXDvM-UzFequUzu7TcTynoZPWMfpM47ws25Raz33tVeBVvuZ0LT-9FH75A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jasper City Council on a voice vote adopted an ordinance authorizing the mayor to sign a grant agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) for an ATRIP project that awarded the city $1.4 million for improvements along State Route 78.

Cathy Chambers, city staff member, told the council the ATRIP project awarded the City of Jasper $1.4 million and that the city will contribute $270,000 for improvements between Fernway Drive and Wastonbridge Road to improve access to local businesses. The council then voted to adopt the ordinance.

The item was added to the agenda as an amendment earlier in the meeting when Chambers asked the council to consider approval for the mayor to sign the ALDOT grant agreement for the SR‑78 project. No additional conditions or amendments to the ordinance were recorded in the meeting transcript.

The council did not specify a timeline for construction or identify any required outside approvals beyond execution of the grant agreement. The meeting record does not list roll-call vote counts or individual member votes; the action was adopted after the motion and a second and an affirmative voice vote.

Council members were not recorded asking for further technical details such as right-of-way impacts, construction schedule, or specific contractors during the ordinance adoption item. The item will proceed under the grant terms once the mayor signs the agreement.

The council moved on to subsequent agenda items after adoption of the ordinance.","The Jasper City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the mayor to sign an ALDOT ATRIP grant agreement awarding $1.4 million for improvements along SR‑78; the city will contribute $270,000 toward the project.","actionData","errors"]
