Votes at a glance: Andalusia council approves school allocation and $85,000 for 3rd Avenue resurfacing
Summary
At its March 3 meeting the Andalusia City Council approved the Feb. 17 minutes, allocated $1,120,000 from an education sales tax request while deferring an elementary‑school addition pending updated pricing, and authorized up to $85,000 from capital funds to resurface 3rd Avenue; all motions passed by voice vote.
The Andalusia City Council dealt with several routine items and approved multiple motions during a brief March 3 meeting.
Minutes: The council approved the minutes from its Feb. 17 meeting. Councilman Nicks moved to approve the minutes and a council member seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.
Education sales tax allocation: The council considered an Andalusia City Schools request presented earlier. Mayor Pro Tem Earl V. Johnson said the board (Dr. Shakespeare) agreed to delay approval of an elementary‑school addition until the board supplies updated pricing to renovate Old Main at the high school. For now, the council approved $1,120,000 from the education sales tax request instead of the larger amount shown on the paperwork. A council member moved the measure, it was seconded and the council adopted the allocation by voice vote.
3rd Avenue resurfacing: The council approved Resolution 2026‑02 to appropriate up to $85,000 from the city capital account to cover the cost of resurfacing 3rd Avenue. The presiding official said the underlying grant paid for the project except resurfacing, which the city must fund. A council member moved the resolution, a council member seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote.
What happened next: After the votes the council returned briefly to recognize youth wrestlers and then adjourned. The transcript records voice votes and "Aye" responses; no roll‑call tallies with individual council votes appear in the record.
