Council tables Exit 30 cooperative district and paving bids, discusses SSUT litigation request
Summary
Councilors deferred action on the Exit 30 cooperative/corporate district and paving bids pending more information, discussed a county request to join SSUT litigation, and approved tabling two board appointments; several procedural votes were taken during the meeting.
The Winfield City Council discussed planning and procurement issues at its November meeting and deferred several items for later review.
Early in the meeting the presiding official asked the council to rescind a resolution appointing Jack Bostick as municipal judge (referred to in the transcript as "resolution number 14 17") and to rescind the prior abolishment of the city administrator position. Motions were made and the presiding official called for votes on those items.
The council agreed to table park board reappointments and theater board appointments because members said they were not ready to make those choices. Councilors also discussed which councilor would serve as the planning and zoning ex officio (Keith Pollard previously served) and accepted a motion allowing a council member to fill that role.
Council members reviewed bids returned for a paving project and expressed dissatisfaction with the submissions, saying they would revisit scope and bid thresholds and brief newer council members before moving forward. The presiding official said he would provide more information at the next meeting.
Separately, councilors discussed a request from the county to consider joining as an intervening defendant in SSUT litigation challenging a Tuscaloosa/Mountain Brook plan. Councilors said they had received the materials late and preferred to review paperwork and take up the request at the next meeting; the presiding official agreed to distribute the documents for review.
Routine financial business (payables) was handled and the council adjourned.
What happens next: staff will distribute the SSUT litigation materials and return items on Exit 30 and paving bids with additional information at a future meeting.
