Unidentified Speaker 1, the presiding official, said the council approved a nonexclusive franchise agreement with Central Alabama Electric Cooperative and moved forward on several infrastructure and equipment items during the meeting (date not specified).

The franchise ordinance, carried over from prior agendas, was presented as old business and approved by voice vote. The council also authorized permission to replace two Riverwalk bridges in Gold Star Park after a motion by Unidentified Speaker 3 and a second; the motion carried on a voice vote.

Council members approved surplus and donation of two Smithco "Superstar Enfield" diamond groomers and about 2½ tons of field drying agent and conditioner. Unidentified Speaker 2 confirmed the items are operational and could be auctioned if council chose, but staff said a donation to a hospital referenced in email correspondence could be arranged. "They can certainly use it," Unidentified Speaker 2 said when discussing the potential donation.

Unidentified Speaker 1 said Item 4 (four headsets for fire truck 101) and Item 5 (new firearms for the police department from state bids) will be carried over to a later agenda; those purchases were not voted on at this meeting. The council approved a broadened job description for a communications and tourism director and approved recurring costs for LED lighting in Woodridge Subdivision Phase 1.

Unidentified Speaker 3 raised a maintenance question during discussion of the field equipment, saying, "I was noticing it was there one week, the next week it wasn't," referring to on-site fence or netting; staff responded that netting is stored on two trailers and the poles on a second trailer. That exchange clarified where park equipment is kept and how it is deployed.
