The Gadsden City Council approved a bid award for a 2023/2024 Chevrolet Silverado for the public works department and authorized the acquisition of property and easements for Lakewood Drive street improvements.

Councilwoman Menacher moved to award bid number 3599 for the Chevrolet Silverado to L and A Motors as the lowest bidder and said the vehicle was budgeted. "They were the lowest bidders, and we have this item budgeted," Councilwoman Menacher said. The council voted to suspend the rules and then adopted the resolution by voice vote.

Councilman Robinson introduced a resolution from the Engineering Department authorizing property and easement acquisitions to support Lakewood Drive improvements. He said the work will add curb and gutter to address drainage off a nearby hill and mentioned that lighting and sidewalks were possibilities; he characterized some details as what he had "heard earlier," not a firm plan. The acquisition is to be funded from the $3.20–$3.40 account fund identified in the meeting record. Members voted to consider the item under new business and then adopted the resolution by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally by name.

Both measures were described as budgeted and administrative in scope; project-level engineering plans, exact acquisition parcel lists, and a construction timeline were not presented at the meeting.
