Council approved professional services with Larry Speaks and Associates for topographical surveys and site plans intended to support placement of restroom facilities at multiple municipal sites, including downtown parking, the Sports Complex, Meadowbrook Park and other parks mentioned on the agenda. Councilmembers discussed doing the sites together and using premade restroom buildings so installations can proceed more efficiently.

The council also voted to enter an agreement with a vendor described in the transcript as \"No Ink\" (audio spelling uncertain) to install and set up electronic poll books for upcoming elections. The purchase of electronic poll books was approved by motion and second on the record.

Council approved a resolution to exempt certain covered items from the municipal sales and use tax during July (an annual sales tax holiday), and granted permits to Alabama AutoCulture to host \"Cars on the Coosa\" on Aug. 23, 2025, and to the (Amel/Autauga) County Civic Improvement League to host a Juneteenth festival at North Star Park on June 21, 2025.

Two items were presented for the first time and carried over to the next meeting for further consideration: an ordinance authorizing the mayor to sign a franchise agreement with Southern Light LLC for fiber services, and a request to purchase or replace wireless access points at the administrative building and at the Sportsplex at an indicated cost of $6,559.66.

Council discussion on the restroom-site contract included a staff remark that coordinating all sites in one project would be financially preferable to doing them piecemeal and that the engineering proposal would provide site plans suitable for placing prefabricated restroom units. Council asked a technical question about whether additional phones or network connections were needed; staff replied the proposal should cover those needs.

The transcript records multiple routine motions and voice votes for these items; the council recorded \"aye\" for approvals and did not record opposition for the items that were approved. The meeting also included general remarks from the mayor about downtown economic development and upcoming projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Wetumpka - Wetumpka City Council 05-05-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved a professional services agreement to survey potential restroom sites, approved a contract to set up electronic poll books for elections, and granted permits for Cars on the Coosa and a Juneteenth festival; the Southern Light franchise agreement and Wi‑Fi access point purchase were postponed to a later meeting.","taxTitle","Wetumpka, Elmore County, Alabama","taxId",52518,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6250321,"Wetumpka council approves rezoning of nonconforming lots on Cuppy Street from B-1 to R-3",469,25565,495405,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3203192-314f85661867b2cf6f05a9605e327a01&start=25&end=495","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3203192-314f85661867b2cf6f05a9605e327a01/thumbnail_25565.jpg","/articles/6250321/Wetumpka/Elmore-County/Alabama/Wetumpka-council-approves-rezoning-of-nonconforming-lots-on-Cuppy-Street-from-B-1-to-R-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250321-d18f28f38541b8d4296b06609748f466/orig.mp4?Expires=1776624797&Signature=KB6tXxM58VFI6xyfAW2ICVVPW6xin-bObeFqDut7N0vaZHiSPVnVHyCYPdVy0eXwaqW0kqZL2yAH8lZwHm7jXUHHpXtG3cljHXEyOrByLTGCtVHmvO~SJ~R5b0~wGhFq2K6NG6EddWt6SePW6pxQNxOOVYMOehc5efLGKqW-czuONyOqZEw45-Fa5tnJiHvOXBcOAW8HzqImYhmgUH~W8ixINiDv0Anqga8pEgPzNeHwMAhA1JMsXkGcNpyoDYh3erOWK~5uUfOVmEfnPofcnH97dgN4x8DRMXUWt~nqgsXg181cC9V~20LTEbiT6mfhZy5U9ztqXOW13Znw~66zcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wetumpka City Council held a public hearing and voted to approve an ordinance rezoning a series of nonconforming parcels on Cuppy Street from B-1 (business) to R-3 (residential).

Council members said the ordinance amends a prior zoning map change identified in Ordinance 99-4, adopted Sept. 2, 1999. The properties were described in the hearing as lots 130 through 155, in the block in front of Out of Place Cafe. No members of the public spoke in favor of or against the rezoning during the hearing.

After the public hearing the council moved, seconded and approved the rezoning by voice vote; the presiding official asked for those in favor to say \"aye,\" and none registered opposition on the record. The transcript shows the council followed the standard public hearing procedure: call for comments, hearing none, motion, second and voice vote.

Because no public commenters addressed the ordinance, the council did not enter into extended discussion. The council did not attach additional conditions to the rezoning in this meeting. Any appeals or administrative follow-up were not discussed on the record.

The action was taken under the council's zoning authority; the ordinance cited on the agenda was identified as Ordinance 2025-3 and referenced the earlier Ordinance 99-4 (adopted Sept. 2, 1999). The council did not provide a timetable for implementation or publication of the amended zoning map during the meeting.

The council moved on to other agenda items following the vote.","The Wetumpka City Council held a public hearing and approved Ordinance 2025-3 (referencing Ordinance 99-4) to rezone lots 130–155 on Cuppy Street from B-1 to R-3; no members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning.","actionData","errors"]
