Speaking during the meeting’s public-comment portion, planning staff said the commission will process the updates in groups of about 50 to 55 parcels and that the process is largely a map-cleanup exercise. The staff member said the updates change map designations and not parcel ownership, tax status or annexation.

“We are putting out signs because the state requires that in your yard or wherever the property is that says public hearing notice,” the staff member said, and warned that residents may call the city when they see the signs. The staff member added that the notices are required by state code and that, for most parcels, the changes simply correct how the parcel is shown on the map; no immediate change to services, taxes or ownership will occur.

City staff advised residents who receive notices to contact the annexation/planning office with questions. Members of the council also said the city will try to provide additional outreach and information to residents who may be confused by the signs.

The planning commission hearing schedule and public-notice materials were not included in the transcript; staff said hearings and notices are required by state code and will be scheduled over the coming months.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jasper City Council - April 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff told the council that the planning commission will update nearly 300 parcels on the zoning map over the next four months, and that property owners will receive required public notices and yard signs; staff said the map updates will not change ownership or taxes.","taxTitle","Jasper City, Walker County, Alabama","taxId",71504,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6093242,"Jasper City Council approves routine permits, bids, appointment and budget amendment; centralizes polling site",0,1108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2848007-8d53c68db050dbdff751eaaf69eb34ee&start=1108&end=1108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2848007-8d53c68db050dbdff751eaaf69eb34ee/thumbnail_1108000.jpg","/articles/6093242/Jasper-City/Walker-County/Alabama/Jasper-City-Council-approves-routine-permits-bids-appointment-and-budget-amendment-centralizes-polling-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6093242-4c173a0918e8347d3cb1434b12b47434/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162235&Signature=Pt4~OXF4Pj1mXvYG8OcAn0KZ74ekmFPoJRUXAIUEfCDTomcJ0kkGPn5g1fJX-QsscSQ6QCEpKjz5Nuk8xjdrmB2UY-Jc9A1MMUJbVK7zzteJN~J10I8heu1zhv2CEQXIRuViQ~O5OG4CZhog1fR5vbFs4LocnS~OkVE-XtEJsC1vThpwakf6-N6REWYt4XKQaDASRxk6eb~xxEVJDha0vTykB~qgRkFZ4rg7qXWLuldIyOJuzHfdpKyQalX8kKqKB06~azP~6OAK~sklba100wX97k7owz-~9D51tx42crlD7oA8CNK2u-lN~jwQmevTPbUlIoPGbAnasxey51KYKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jasper City Council on Tuesday approved a set of routine permits, procurement actions and a budget amendment, and voted to centralize voting for the upcoming municipal election at the Jasper Civic Center.

The council granted an event permit for a Memorial Day candlelight service submitted by Veterans with Christ, approved Suburban Concrete as the on-call concrete services provider, authorized staff to send bids for street department shop repairs, reappointed Marybeth Barber to the Board of Education District 3 seat and adopted a budget amendment that includes multiple allocations across city funds.

The budget amendment adopted at the meeting included a $480,000 allocation from the general fund for the city’s pay plan, $39,715 for two side-by-side vehicles from the 1¢ sales tax fund (fund 204), $266,000 for engineering design on Highway 118, and $300,000 for renovations at the street department office and mechanic shop, according to staff. Council members also introduced a separate budget amendment for future consideration that would include $10,626 for a cemetery mower from the capital improvement fund, $30,000 for improvements at the new Jasper City Hall, $60,000 from opioid funds for two used vehicles and $28,000 from fund 310 for District 5 Splash Pad improvements.

During the meeting councilors voted to request that the Jasper Civic Center be used as a centralized voting location for the upcoming election and authorized a temporary street closure (Third Avenue between 19th and 20th Street) to permit election logistics as requested by Probate Judge Lee Tucker.

Several routine procurement motions passed by unanimous voice votes as taken on the record during the meeting; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
