Summary

The council considered a resolution declaring an emergency for Wares Ferry Road under Alabama code and a contract with Thompson Engineering for $80,000 to perform environmental consultant services related to the Roseberry Road bridge replacement.

City staff presented two infrastructure items: a resolution declaring an emergency regarding Wares Ferry Road under the cited Alabama code and a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a contract with Thompson Engineering for $80,000 to provide professional consultant services for the Roseberry Road bridge replacement environmental assessment.

A council member asked whether the Thompson contract covered environmental work. Staff replied that the contract is for the environmental assessment. No detailed timetable or contractor scope beyond "professional consultant services regarding Roseberry Road bridge replacement" was recorded in the meeting transcript.

Council discussion indicated routine oversight and questions about scope; staff said the technical-code and National Electrical Code items would be publicly noticed for hearings on Feb. 17, 2026, and that some allied ordinances would be carried over pending those hearings.
