At its Oct. 7 meeting the Orange Beach City Council approved a series of routine resolutions and procurement items listed on the agenda.

Among the items presented were a resolution authorizing execution of an agreement for Baldwin County interoperability communications for police and fire; a resolution authorizing execution of an amendment to a grant award agreement with the National Audubon Society for stewardship of coastal Alabama beach-nesting bird habitat; and a resolution authorizing purchase of office furniture for the police department in the amount of $32,351.74. The agenda also listed an underground electric line easement with Baldwin County Electric Membership Corporation and a resolution authorizing payment of legal fees to Carr, Allison, Oliver, Sisson, P.C., and Galloway Weddermark.

Council members moved and adopted the consent resolutions during the meeting. The transcript records the items as presented on the agenda with no substantive on-the-record debate or public comment about the specific terms of those agreements.

The grant amendment and the interoperability agreement may require follow-up for formal execution and possible coordination with Baldwin County and nonprofit partners; the furniture purchase is an immediate procurement for the police department listed with a precise dollar amount on the agenda.
