Summary

The City Council passed two resolutions required by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to maintain permits for the North Bruton Lagoon and the Bruton Lagoon; the city noted an ADEM grant to support sewer improvements downtown.

The City Council of Bruton approved two municipal water pollution prevention resolutions required by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) covering the North Bruton Lagoon and the Bruton Lagoon.

City Clerk told councilors that ADEM requires separate resolutions for each lagoon and that passing them is necessary to retain the city’s license and permit. The clerk also said the city has an ADEM grant for some sewer improvements in the downtown area; no major lagoon improvements were required at this time. Councilor Broughton moved to approve Resolution 25-0512-2 (North Bruton Lagoon) and Resolution 25-0512-3 (Bruton Lagoon); Councilor Brown seconded the motions and recorded affirmative votes.

The resolutions were presented as routine, compliance actions tied to state permitting; the meeting record does not show amendments, public comment on the resolutions, or discussion of specific technical remediation measures. The transcript does not specify grant dollar amounts or timelines for the sewer improvement work.
