The first MOU gives the Enterprise Police Department access to the Transaction Record Analysis Center (TRAC), a data analysis resource the chief described as a tool investigators can use to trace criminal financial transactions. “This gives our investigators the ability to look into those type of crimes, and possibly, solve them. It is free of charge. It's just something we have to sign to give us access after the training,” the police chief said during the meeting.

The council also authorized a memorandum with South Central Alabama Mental Health Board to outline mutual assistance and support when officers encounter people experiencing a mental health crisis. The chief described the agreement as a resource to help get people “the medical need that they need or a bed or someplace safe that they can go.”

Both MOUs were presented as administrative agreements to expand the department's capacity; councilmembers approved the authorizations without extended debate.

Staff said TRAC access requires training and that the mental‑health MOU is intended to improve on‑scene options and coordination between law enforcement and local behavioral‑health providers.","The council authorized a memorandum of understanding to give the police department access to Transaction Record Analysis Center (TRAC) tools for money‑wiring investigations and approved an MOU with South Central Alabama Mental Health for crisis assistance.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6090513,"Enterprise Council adopts updated personnel rules; manager says changes favor employees",2350,2718000,5068000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2866319-beb67aff91675c61934fb5ebfac24a27&start=2718&end=5068","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2866319-beb67aff91675c61934fb5ebfac24a27/thumbnail_2718000.jpg","/articles/6090513/Enterprise/Coffee-County/Alabama/Enterprise-Council-adopts-updated-personnel-rules-manager-says-changes-favor-employees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6090513-52e595f4c25cdb096513ef5f21aefa46/orig.mp4?Expires=1775258221&Signature=bsAo-Uo~j9ZQouDrzhcEDJCffXeRx8ovGnAyhOcoTmLNbEyFLjDW9nXv-BUQPtO6S0fFVUitupD28nAnnSE75-oEruIJHb5YnzIzmDn7HaG3fFKo1NBJ9hv6WDpj7u6E2x0z-0MGKjKzeHrfdUg96fBmQHuGevdD~Ah19CPm~xdcN8LfJc9AlCBkNyH~0kZ-upLkr6lx2eTR96KSaLfZYaWW49ncS9O~u9~MAVGB3ooKZxm6QtMAfkRDU207~ISfKwAsUZzYdxLazEdZwG340Vw6-2LqSqe94LRu8NFtPzp1vNYkTdjo3aL3N3hfv3DHrgfgd7FJZPxkEtvFxj2RGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Enterprise City Council voted to adopt updated personnel rules and regulations, replacing a prior ordinance and codifying changes to the employee handbook.

The ordinance (03.18.25A) was adopted at the meeting; staff said the update clarifies benefits and administrative procedures. City Administrator Jonathan Mayer told the council the changes are not intended to reduce current employees' benefits. “The answer is no. So this will not impact any current employees to their detriment,” Mayer said, and added the revisions include changes that will benefit employees hired going forward, such as shortening the time to earn additional vacation from 10 years to five years and clearer bereavement and leave rules.

Councilmembers voted to adopt the ordinance after a brief discussion. Staff said the handbook language was drafted to improve manager accountability, provide clarity for employees and simplify processes for common personnel events.

Mayer said managers and employees were consulted during the drafting process and that staff would provide further guidance to departments as policy roll‑out begins.","Council adopted Ordinance 03.18.25A to replace older personnel rules.

City staff said the city received a $450,000 demolition grant from ADECA on an 80/20 basis; staff said the city is providing the 20 percent match. That program is open to homeowners and other property owners interested in voluntary demolition; staff reported multiple property owners from the nuisance list have signed up voluntarily.

“We had a $450,000 grant from ADECA to do that. And, I think that was on an 80/20 basis. So we provided 20% of those funds,” City Administrator Jonathan Mayer told the council. Mayer said the grant and the city’s nuisance‑property program are producing results: staff reported 21 property owners had already signed up to mitigate or demolish properties and the overall list had moved into the 40s when recent voluntary enrollments were added.

The council also approved a task order (Task Order 63) with Poly Incorporated to perform pre‑demolition asbestos and lead sampling, testing and reporting at a cost not to exceed $75,000. City staff explained the testing is required to determine whether abatement is necessary before demolition can proceed and to estimate mitigation costs.

Staff reminded the council of the nuisance program goal of referring 20 units per quarter to the council; staff said the program is currently ahead of that target because some owners chose voluntary demolition rather than waiting for judicial action.

Council members and staff said the voluntary participation reduces the need to pursue costly judicial demolitions and speeds cleanup of blighted parcels in neighborhoods.

Next steps include continuing to take voluntary enrollments for the CDBG demolition program, conducting asbestos and lead testing on targeted properties, and bringing abatement contracts to council when testing and scopes are complete.","Enterprise reported dozens of nuisance‑property owners signing up for a $450,000 CDBG demolition grant; council authorized pre-demolition asbestos and lead testing not to exceed $75,000.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6090524,"Enterprise Council focuses on long-range road projects as ALDOT readies signal work",389,85000,474000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2866319-beb67aff91675c61934fb5ebfac24a27&start=85&end=474","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2866319-beb67aff91675c61934fb5ebfac24a27/thumbnail_85000.jpg","/articles/6090524/Enterprise/Coffee-County/Alabama/Enterprise-Council-focuses-on-long-range-road-projects-as-ALDOT-readies-signal-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6090524-53ab0bd4dfdd871d35aa020fcabf1664/orig.mp4?Expires=1775258221&Signature=m6yFk3VSHXlUSAqqmfxA4c2PCzeTeFkLfiFPT2bvmndXCjoxjqyDOCcBPrHEdfZiT-oH9TaRpZ9PHSd2QZywpEbOxnNly-aHmNw4fny8vUgwVbSZtvFrRUY7OzMMWy-XFncCN-zgZXKN201Deaycva2tZuOM-~UINUNcUJum9pqwu4KCwdjFM5xn2W1AQhRub7eoOx-BhbsAfiz63k4Juj52yzMrCciQEhDCoDWkQwN6mAGrqSlUtye4N1Bbb-fqLxXy~oxvPaQVAJmQt3BtpcNQfAgT0E1zVFOAgB6VQmoqSh0JU7CAL2Ygns6kcesHzTZ1ZVbrww4P9Avn62Mobg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Enterprise City Council members spent part of a work session reviewing long-range road and safety projects, including a costly connectivity study, a design contract to widen part of the city bypass and coordination with the Alabama Department of Transportation on signalization and safety funding.

City Administrator Jonathan Mayer told the council the comprehensive-plan connectivity work looked at “different routes that would further connect our arteries” but that building the full corridor was financially out of reach now. “We don't have the resources to do a $42,000,000 road project,” Mayer said, and recommended the council decide whether to pursue smaller segments, engineering and right-of-way work over time.

The council authorized an agreement with engineering firm Volkert, Inc., to design widening of Bolivar (Bow Weevil) Circle between Highway 27 South and Highway 84 to make remaining sections four lanes and reach shovel‑ready status. Staff said the Volkert work would carry the project through design and bid phases if the council elects to build later.

Mayer also summarized a recent meeting with ALDOT about signalization at the 167 and Salem Road intersection. He said ALDOT found the warrants for signalization “justified” but that funding and cost-sharing remain to be determined. Mayer gave the council a funding example: Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grants commonly cover up to roughly $2 million; a city-preferred $5 million fix would require a local contribution to make up the difference.

City staff reported that the contractor-selected ALDOT signal project (originating from a previous roundabout proposal) is in procurement and that poles and equipment are on order; staff expect construction to begin in June. Staff asked whether the council wants to press for public engagement beyond the mandatory ALDOT process; council members noted both community concern about design choices (roundabout vs. signal) and support for improved safety.

Mayer said the connectivity study and Bolivar widening are different scales of work: the study identified multi-segment corridor options that in sum were roughly $42 million; the Volkert agreement is targeted design for completing the bypass four‑laning in phases. He recommended the council decide which segments, if any, to pursue incrementally.

Staff recommended next steps that include a council workshop with Sane & Associates (the study consultant) to identify priority segments, potential right-of-way needs and preliminary budgets.

If the council chooses to pursue design and early property acquisition, further budget actions and grant-seeking would follow.","City leaders reviewed a connectivity study that showed roughly $42 million in corridor needs, authorized design work for widening Bolivar (Bow Weevil) Circle and discussed ALDOT signal and safety plans for the 167/Salem Road area.","actionData","errors"]
