The Ozark City Council on Aug. 5 voted unanimously to approve a Growing Alabama funding agreement with the Alabama Department of Commerce for $150,000 and authorized the mayor to sign the agreement. Council members approved the motion on a voice vote without recorded opposition.
The agreement was presented as part of the evening’s agenda items; the council did not include a detailed staff presentation in the meeting transcript on the grant’s intended projects, matching requirements, or fiscal year allocation. The motion as read referenced the Alabama Department of Commerce and the $150,000 figure.
Council members did not request amendments or additional public comment during the vote. The agreement’s effective date or reporting requirements were not specified during the meeting and were not discussed during the council action.
City staff or council members later mentioned the municipal budget briefly in final comments, but they did not tie the Growing Alabama funds to any specific line items or projects during the meeting.
