Council reviews consent agenda: recycling agreement, contracts and capital amendments
Summary
City staff summarized a multi-page consent agenda including a cooperative ADEM recycling agreement and grant, several professional-services contracts and amendments (including a $2.87 million Sabin Center contract and sub‑$500k design amendments), and multiple minor public-works purchases; council scheduled a March 10 public hearing for a zoning code amendment.
City staff presented the projects and consent agenda at the Feb. 14 meeting, walking council members through items in the packet spanning grant authorizations, professional-services agreements and minor public-works contracts.
Staff said the council would be asked to authorize the mayor to execute a cooperative agreement and a grant application related to the West Alabama recycling program with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). Among contracts highlighted were a professional-services agreement for the Sabin Center project totaling $2,869,912 and an amendment to the design agreement with Davis Architects for the Sabin Center work (amendment not to exceed $419,888.50). Staff also noted a $120,000 not-to-exceed contract with Evoqua Water Technologies, a $17,000 railway review agreement with Kansas City Southern/CPKC and multiple minor public-works contracts (Greenacres Landscape Services $10,700; Emerson Associates $7,400; Patrick Allen Companies $2,827). The packet included several engineering amendment amounts (for example, $273,555 and $287,455) tied to drainage and improvement projects.
Staff said some budget-amendment material (a multi-part finance item) will be handled as a combined resolution after committee discussion. The packet also included multiple code amendments; staff introduced Zoning Amendment No. 28 and said a public hearing on adoption is set for March 10, 2026.
The meeting record shows these items were presented for future authorization; the transcript does not record final votes for the consent items during the portion provided.
