Opelika council approves travel reports, equipment purchases and an ordinance allowing alcohol at Spring Villa Park lodge
Summary
At its June 30 meeting the council approved multiple routine resolutions — including travel expense reports, a $50,405.29 police locker purchase and a $29,960 purchase of stream credits — and adopted a second-reading ordinance to permit alcohol service at the new lodge at Spring Villa Park.
City staff read a slate of resolutions and the council approved them by roll call on June 30.
Resolution No. 1 approved travel expense reports submitted by Mayor Fuller and several city employees. Resolution No. 2 authorized the police department to purchase storage lockers from Kroger International Inc. for $50,405.29. Resolution No. 7 authorized the purchase of 428 stream credits from Martin Creek LLC for $29,960 to support a Sharp Street project that requires a piped stream crossing.
Other approved items included a professional-engineering services contract with Saint and Associates Inc. for a sidewalk project along Waverly Parkway, an electric power-line easement to Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative to serve Springville Park, and the vacation of certain unnamed, unopened rights-of-way within the Fox Run Industrial Park subdivision. The council also approved several sewer-fee refunds and a $1,250 special appropriation to Gyms Empowered for a June 10 celebration.
On ordinances, the council adopted on second reading an amendment to section 3-15 of the City of Opelika Code of Ordinances to permit the service and on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages at the new lodge in Spring Villa Park. The council also introduced for first reading an ordinance, recommended by the Opelika Planning Commission, to rezone parcels at 401 and 409 Simmons Street from M-1 (industrial) to C-2 (office/retail). The Simmons rezoning was presented with a positive planning commission recommendation and will return for additional readings and any vote required by ordinance procedures.
The council also approved the reappointment of Bridal Golston to the Indian Pines Public Park Authority for a new term ending in February (year stated during the meeting).
