The Priceville Town Council unanimously approved a resolution to intervene as an affiliate in a simplified seller's use-tax litigation and took several other votes during a regular meeting, including authorizing a liquor license for Bravo Investments LLC and one-time pay adjustments for city employees.
The council approved Resolution 2025-35 to "protect the city's interest by intervening as an affiliate in the simplified seller's use tax litigation," the presiding official said. The motion passed following a recorded roll-call affirmation by the members present.
The council also closed a public hearing on an off-premises alcohol license for Bravo Investments LLC (Bravo Package Store #8732, Suite B) after hearing no public comment and then approved Resolution 2025-36 to grant the license.
On personnel matters, the council approved a one-time pay adjustment set out in the meeting as $750 for full-time employees and $375 for part-time employees. The presiding official presented the adjustment and members voted to approve it during roll call.
Council members approved authorization for construction funding for new park restrooms. The transcript contains inconsistent numeric references during discussion (mentions of $7,750, $67,000, $75,000 and other figures); the presiding official later stated the authorization was "up to 75,000." The council voted to authorize funding; the transcript does not provide a single unambiguous line-item dollar figure and the record includes conflicting statements, which are noted below in clarifying details.
The council approved several items related to the police department: a $20 class and travel/lunch reimbursement for Officer Devin Harris to attend a report-writing class at Northwest Shoals Community College on Dec. 3, 2025; a $425 online class for Gary Chapman for property/room-management training; purchase and installation of dash cameras for patrol vehicles reported at $13,580 to be paid from proceeds of a charger sale (the presiding official said proceeds were about $23,000); and FirstNet credits for two pool cars costing $2,009.40. Each of those items was presented, motioned, seconded and approved by the council at the meeting.
On public works, the council approved the purchase of two handheld plug-in "push button" devices to allow officers to control traffic signals when necessary.
During a community-relations segment, the presiding official thanked Frederick's Equipment and the Priceville Chamber of Commerce for loaning a man lift to help the town decorate the park and thanked volunteers including American Legion members who helped with holiday lighting. "They let us use it for free," the presiding official said of the equipment loan. He also promoted the town's Dec. 6 Christmas parade, saying, "It's Priceville's very own Hallmark moment."
The meeting closed after a motion to adjourn was seconded and carried. The council recorded votes for each action during roll calls; the transcript indicates unanimous affirmative responses from those present for the items described.
Next steps: The town will proceed with the authorized interventions and purchases, and Bravo Package Store #8732 has been granted the off-premises alcohol license. Specific contractual steps, procurement timelines and construction start dates for the park restrooms were not specified in the transcript.
