The Talladega City Council approved a package of resolutions — numbers 64‑24 through 64‑43 — by unanimous roll call and voted to restore and allocate several local appropriations.
Council recognized Miss Fradman, who moved to restore funding for the Alabama Extension Office to its original amount. The council voted to increase the Extension Office allocation back to $30,000 (the staff discussion indicated the office previously had been given $10,000 and the motion brought it back up).
The council also approved $25,430 in partnership funding for a local college to support community services, saying the funds would be used in partnership with the City of Talladega for services across the city. Separately, the council approved a $1,000 appropriation to Liberty Learning. All those appropriations passed on roll call votes where Councilman Dickerson, Councilman Denny, Council member Spratling and Council president Sims voted aye.
Council members also approved motions allocating discretionary funds left over from council members’ budgets: one council member proposed giving $1,000 to the county extension service and the remainder to the high school cheerleaders; that distribution was seconded and approved.
Clerical roll calls were used for each vote. Council members said the college funds are intended for partnership services to the whole city, not only a single ward, and that the Liberty Learning donation was a modest community grant supported by multiple sponsors.
