Andalusia council approves roughly $35,000 for Heritage Park lake fountains
Summary
The Andalusia City Council on June 17 approved Resolution No. 2025-20 to purchase two illuminated, aerating fountains for Heritage Park’s lake, drawing funds from the city’s 2022 Series A bond account and contracting with Tri State Fence and Ironwork Inc.
The Andalusia City Council on June 17 unanimously approved Resolution No. 2025-20 to purchase two fountains for the lake at Heritage Park, using funds from the city’s 2022 Series A bond account.
Council members and city leadership said the fountains will improve appearance, aerate the water and can be lit at night. “They look nice. Number 2, they aerate the water and keep it clean,” the mayor said during discussion.
The council discussed the vendor quote, which listed $38,728.21. A council member noted the invoice included a 10% sales tax that the city does not pay, reducing the contract amount to “around $35,000,” as stated during the meeting. The vendor named in the proposal was Tri State Fence and Ironwork Inc.; the mayor asked staff to remove an erroneous reference to “for fencing” from the resolution language before finalizing the paperwork.
The motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded on the council floor; the council voted by voice/hand and the item was approved with no recorded opposition. The council did not read a roll-call vote count during the meeting.
The funding source for the purchase was identified as the city’s 2022 Series A bond account set aside for Heritage Park improvements. No implementation timeline or installation date for the fountains was specified during the discussion.
The action closes the council’s agenda items for the evening and directs staff to complete the purchase and correct the resolution language in the contract paperwork.
