The Prattville City Council on Dec. 2 adopted a consent agenda covering 10 items — including several nuisance-abatement resolutions (addresses listed under Chapter 46) and two appointments (Historic Preservation Commission and Planning Commission) — and then approved several standalone resolutions.

Key votes included:

- ALDOT industrial-access agreement: The council authorized the mayor to execute a construction agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation to widen and resurface Bowen Way (Project IAR-001-000-013, CPMS 100081255) to benefit Project Magnolia. The total project cost was not to exceed $1,183,000; the resolution stated the net cost to the city is $0 because state funding was awarded. The resolution was moved, seconded and adopted without discussion.

- Equipment purchase for wastewater: The council authorized release of funds to purchase a 2026 Caterpillar 308 excavator through the Sourcewell cooperative from Thompson Tractor Company at a cost not to exceed $130,465. Staff said the purchase was budgeted in the wastewater enterprise fund (capital outlay).

- Renovations at 124 West Main Street: The council approved a resolution supporting renovations to the first and third floors of 124 West Main to ready incubator spaces for rent-paying tenants. Economic development staff said renovation costs will be bid (because the totals exceed thresholds), some renovation costs will be repaid via rents and that leases will be vetted before work begins.

Council members approved minutes from prior meetings and motions to create and adopt the consent agenda earlier in the meeting. Several items in the consent agenda directed the mayor or city attorney to take administrative steps regarding nuisance abatements and removal of rubbish at listed addresses; those items passed as part of the consent agenda.

All votes were recorded in open session by a show of hands or roll call as noted in the minutes.
