The Prattville City Council adopted a consent agenda and then took separate action to adopt an ordinance rezoning a parcel inside the city limits at Gruby Airport Road and Aviation Way from FAR (Forest, Agricultural and Recreation) to T‑1 (Manufactured Home District).

The consent agenda — approved by motion and voice/hand vote with no roll‑call tally provided — included multiple nuisance and abatement actions authorizing the mayor to abate overgrown grass, weeds, and garbage at specified addresses pursuant to chapter 46 of the City of Prattville Code of Ordinances. The consent items also included an appointment to the Industrial Development Board and the appointment of election officials for the 2025 municipal election.

Key consent items (as read into the record) included: resolution number 1 (authorize abatement for overgrown grass/weeds at 132 Lina Drive, 170 Imogene Street, 141 Beth Manor Drive); resolution number 2 (declare garbage/rubbish at 1142 East Main Street / AKA 1157 Falk Avenue a public nuisance and authorize abatement); resolution number 3 (declare garbage/rubbish at 135 Warwick Drive a public nuisance and authorize abatement); resolution number 4 (set public hearing to declare overgrown grass/weeds at multiple addresses unsafe and order abatement); resolution number 5 (appoint Stinson Kennedy to the Industrial Development Board); resolution number 6 (declare garbage/rubbish at 810 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive a public nuisance and authorize abatement); resolution number 7 (declare garbage/rubbish at 175 Patrick Street a public nuisance and authorize abatement); and resolution number 8 (appoint election officials for the 2025 municipal elections).

With no discussion recorded, the council adopted the ordinance by voice/hand vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.
