Wetumpka council approves Kubota RTV purchase, expands West Side riverfront planning and confirms two board appointments
Summary
The Wetumpka City Council approved routine business including a $19,789 purchase of a Kubota RTV for the sports complex, a broadened professional-services agreement with GMC for a West Side riverfront master plan, appointments to local boards, and permission for a Farmers Market event; the meeting recessed into a 10-minute executive session for an update.
The Wetumpka City Council approved a series of routine measures Tuesday, including purchase of a utility vehicle for the sports complex, expansion of planning work for the West Side riverfront park and two board appointments, before moving into a brief executive session.
Council leadership presented an old-business motion to buy one Kubota RTV utility vehicle for the schools/sports complex to install and remove temporary fencing, at a stated cost of $19,789. The council moved, seconded and approved the purchase by voice vote. The motion was recorded as passed; specific roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript.
The council also approved entering a professional-services agreement with GMC to develop a broadened West Side / riverfront park master plan. Speaker 2 said the updated scope would "take in some other areas and some other things that we're talking about doing on the West Side." A council member asked whether the riverfront plan would involve Coosa River Parkway traffic; participants clarified that the planned West Side riverfront work "doesn't involve the Coosa River Parkway traffic." After the clarification the motion to proceed with GMC was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript does not list roll-call vote counts for the motion.
Two appointments also cleared the council. The council approved the appointment of an individual identified in the record as Tony (the transcript first renders the name as "Tony Grama" and later as "Tony Bruner"); the council moved and seconded the appointment and approved it by voice vote. Because the transcript contains inconsistent transcriptions of the appointee's surname, the council's action is reported here using the same ambiguity rather than assigning a single corrected surname.
The council also voted to reappoint Tanya Ayers to the library board. A speaker noted that "Miss Hayes is here in favor of that," and the motion to reappoint Ayers was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Separately, the council granted permission for Harper and Company Coffee to host an event at the Wetumpka Farmers Market on April 18, 2026. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the record captures Liberty Domino saying "Aye."
Before adjourning to a closed session, a speaker asked for a motion to move into executive session for a short update. The motion was seconded, a roll call was taken with members answering "Yes," and the council recessed for about 10 minutes; Speaker 2 told those present, "We will be back in 10 minutes."
What happened next: the meeting moved into executive session for a closed-door update; the transcript ends with the council recessed and does not record any action taken during that executive session.
