The City Council adopted multiple resolutions including firefighter physicals, sidewalk phase 1 construction, elevator maintenance and mosquito control; one street‑acceptance item was postponed and several items were introduced for the April 21 agenda.
The Spanish Fort City Council voted to approve a package of routine contracts and service agreements during the meeting. Items adopted by roll call included firefighter physical‑services, a sidewalk construction contract, elevator maintenance for the community center, and mosquito control services.
Highlights:
- Firefighter physicals (Resolution 1488‑2025): The council approved an agreement with Vital Exam LLC to provide professional consulting and firefighter physical examinations. Mr. Connor said the base charge is $625 per physical; additional tests may be provided if medically necessary. The resolution was adopted by roll call.
- Spanish Fort Estate Sidewalk Phase 1 (Resolution 1492‑2025): The council awarded the first phase of the Spanish Fort Estate sidewalk project (Mary Bramner Memorial Sidewalk) to Grant Nichols Construction Inc. for $135,607, the lowest responsive bid. The resolution passed by roll call.
- Elevator maintenance (Resolution 1497‑2025): Council approved a maintenance agreement with Kony, Inc., for the elevator at the Spanish Fort Community Center at $3,396 per year for routine maintenance; out‑of‑scope work would be billed separately. The council suspended the rules for immediate consideration and adopted the resolution.
- Mosquito control (Resolution 1499‑2025): An agreement with BDCI for mosquito control services from April 1 through Oct. 31, 2025, in the amount of $24,350 was adopted. City staff reported the fee is unchanged from the prior year.
- License approval: The council approved a restaurant retail liquor license for Groovy Goat (Sunshine GGSF LLC) for a second Baldwin County location at 6350 U.S. Highway 90, suite J; the motion carried by roll call.
Introduced or postponed items:
- Street acceptance in Churchill Phase 5 (Resolution 1491‑2025) was postponed to the April 21 agenda pending receipt of an updated maintenance bond.
- Several items were introduced for formal action at the April 21 meeting, including agreements for playground turf (Forever Lawn Inc.), a robotic field‑line painter (Turf Tank USA Inc.) and an ALDOT right‑of‑way agreement related to Valor Park; those items were not adopted at this meeting and will return for council action.
Most of the adopted measures were approved unanimously by roll call votes that listed councilmembers Smith, Gustafson, Perry, Winn and Prabner and the mayor voting yes where recorded. Where staff presented details, Mr. Connor read contract amounts and schedules into the record.
