Council introduces recycling, radio‑system and wildlife agreements; recycling contract held over
Summary
The Spanish Fort City Council introduced three intergovernmental agreements and scheduled further action for Oct. 6: a recycling services contract (held over), a P25 radio‑system MOU and a cooperative agreement with USDA Wildlife Services.
The Spanish Fort City Council introduced three intergovernmental agreements during the meeting and scheduled follow‑up action for the next regular meeting on Oct. 6.
Council members introduced Resolution 15 54 20 25, a proposed recycling services agreement between the Solid Waste Disposal Authority of Baldwin County and the city. A staff presenter said the draft agreement was attached as Exhibit A and noted “some moving pieces” that require further clarification. The recycling resolution was held over and the presenter recommended placing it on the Oct. 6 agenda for additional review.
The council also introduced Resolution 15 55 20 25, a memorandum of understanding with the Baldwin County Commission regarding use and operation of the county’s P25 interoperability radio system. The presenter said the proposed agreement includes the city’s obligation to follow county rules and procedures and noted a $10 monthly charge “for each radio or communication device activated on the system.” Council members asked staff to inventory the number of active radios to ensure the city is not paying for unused devices.
Finally, the council introduced Resolution 15 56 20 25, a proposed cooperative service agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS). The proposed agreement would authorize city cooperation with APHIS Wildlife Services and allow the expenditure of up to $4,000 to assist with removal or trapping of beavers, nutria, muskrats and coyotes. A council member asked why foxes were not listed; staff said they could ask USDA for guidance if fox control becomes an issue.
None of the three items was finalized at the meeting; the recycling agreement was formally held over, and the other two items were introduced for placement on the Oct. 6 agenda for potential approval or further action.
