Irondale council approves appointments, pays $1.44 million in bills and adds Miss Irondale to events calendar
Summary
The Irondale City Council approved several appointments to local boards (library, public building authority, industrial development board), authorized payment of $1,441,217.98 in city bills, and added the Miss Irondale competition to the 2025 events calendar; the council also noted strong public interest in library vacancies and announced a community food-bank volunteer shift.
The Irondale City Council approved multiple consent items including appointments to local boards, payment of city bills, and an addition to the city events calendar.
On consent the council approved the appointment of Kim McDaniel to the Public Building Authority (term noted to end July 25, 2031), Miss Roscoe and Ethan Clemens to the Industrial Development Board (terms noted as expiring Nov. 7, 2027 and Nov. 7, 2031 respectively), and added the Miss Irondale competition (scheduled Nov. 23, 2025) to the 2025 events calendar under Amended Resolution 2025-R-O1-B. A motion to pay city bills in the amount of $1,441,217.98 was made and approved. The council later moved Resolutions 2025-R-21 and 2025-R-222 on the regular agenda to appoint Kim Mumford to the library board (term ending Sept. 3, 2029) and to confirm Ebony Green; both motions passed by voice vote.
Councilwoman Arnold highlighted strong public interest in the library board openings, saying, "how exciting it was to see so many people come out and show interest in serving on the library board." She also cited recent school-score improvements, reporting that Irondale Community School moved to a score of 83 and Grantswood to 87. Arnold announced a volunteer shift organized by the city at the Central Alabama Food Bank on Dec. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m.; she said there were 11 volunteer slots remaining and that she and the mayor planned to attend.
Council approved the administrative changes to the agenda that moved items 1 and 2 to regular, placed certain nominations on consent, and postponed item 6 pending an additional candidate. The consent agenda was approved by voice vote; specific roll-call tallies were not taken for those consent approvals on the record. When votes were recorded (such as the suspension roll call for the ordinance), the council recorded unanimous "yes" responses from Councilman London, Councilwoman Arnold, Councilman Box, Councilman Sims and the presiding Council President.
The meeting concluded after formal adjournment; the presiding official thanked attendees and wished the community a Happy Thanksgiving.
