Anniston council adds Grant Jackson appointment to consent agenda, approves routine business

The Anniston City Council approved routine business and moved a personnel appointment onto the consent agenda on the meeting’s agenda.

Mayor Smith moved “to add a resolution appointing Grant Jackson to the Downtown Development Authority to the consent agenda,” a motion that was seconded and approved by roll call. The council then voted to waive the reading and approve prior minutes, approve the meeting agenda as amended and adopt the consent agenda.

The actions were procedural and carried on voice/roll calls recorded in the meeting. Council members recorded as present during roll calls in the transcript include Council member Downey, Council member Tolleson, Council member Harrington, Council member Moss and Mayor Smith.

The transcript records no separate debate or amendment to the Grant Jackson appointment; the motion to add the resolution was accepted and included in the consent agenda vote.

The council did not discuss specifics about Grant Jackson’s background or terms during the open meeting portion recorded in the transcript. The consent-agenda format means the appointment will take effect according to whatever administrative rules govern such appointments unless removed for separate consideration at a later meeting.
