Summary

The Alexander City Council on Aug. 18 approved resolutions authorizing an ADA-compliant city website, an amended incinerator maintenance agreement, rejection of airport AWOS bids and several other airport- and grant-related actions.

The Alexander City Council approved a series of resolutions on Aug. 18, 2025 addressing website accessibility, incinerator maintenance, airport bids and grant agreements.

Council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute an engagement letter for development of an ADA-compliant Alexander City website. The motion passed on roll call with Councilor Phillips, Councilor Taplin, Councilor Eric Brown, Councilor Chris Brown and the Chair recorded as voting "yay."

The council next approved a resolution to authorize the mayor to sign an agreement with Matthews Environmental Services to maintain the city incinerator. Councilor members moved and then voted to amend the resolution language (one amendment replaced the words "recycling centers" with "environmental waste center service," and one change added quotation marks around the word "estimated" in line 14). After the amendments were approved, the resolution as amended passed on roll call with the same recorded "yays."

On airport procurement, the council approved a resolution to reject and re-advertise bids for the Thomas C. Russell Field automatic weather observing system (project number 8012301513) after concluding correct bid procedures were not followed. Council members raised concern that procedural errors required rejection of all bids; the council voted to reject the bids and move forward with reprocurement.

The council also approved a resolution to update the airport layout plan and develop a narrative report. That item passed on roll call.

Finally, the council authorized the mayor to execute an Appalachian Regional Commission and Community Development Block Grant agreement for utilities for the 2 Rivers project; the resolution was approved on roll call during the same meeting.
