Clanton City Council unanimously adopts five resolutions including youth council and New Harmony engineering agreement
Summary
At its Jan. 12 meeting, the Clanton City Council unanimously adopted five resolutions: acceptance of donated LED lighting, approval of an engineering agreement for the New Harmony subdivision, repeal of a prior sale authorization involving Alabama Power Company, establishment of a youth council, and an appointment to the Public Building Authority.
The Clanton City Council met Jan. 12, 2026, at Clanton City Hall and unanimously approved five resolutions covering neighborhood development, a community donation, governance appointments and a new youth advisory body.
The council adopted Resolution 2026-01-12-01 to accept a donation of LED lighting and mounting brackets from the Chilton County High School Gridiron Club. Councilmember Don Driver moved the resolution and Councilmember Phillip Giles seconded; the measure passed by unanimous voice vote of the council members present.
The council next adopted Resolution 2026-01-12-02, approving an agreement with Municipal Consultants, Inc. for engineering and design services for the New Harmony subdivision development project. Councilmember Billy Singleton moved the resolution and Councilmember David McCary seconded. Stanley Higgins spoke to explain why the city needed the agreement, saying the engineering work is required to move the subdivision’s design and permitting forward.
By separate action the council adopted Resolution 2026-01-12-03 to repeal Resolution 2025-08-06-01, which had previously authorized the mayor to enter into a purchase and sale agreement with the Alabama Power Company. Councilmember Awlahjaday Agee moved the repeal and Councilmember Phillip Giles seconded; the repeal passed by unanimous voice vote of those council members present.
The council also approved Resolution 2026-01-12-04 to establish the City of Clanton Youth Council. Councilmember Don Driver moved the resolution and Councilmember Billy Singleton seconded. Mayor Jeff Price outlined program details and said the youth council will be implemented later in the year.
Finally, the council adopted Resolution 2026-01-12-05 to appoint a citizen to an expired term on the Public Building Authority of the City of Clanton; Councilmember Awlahjaday Agee moved the resolution and Councilmember Don Driver seconded. No further discussion was recorded on the appointment.
All recorded motions passed by unanimous voice vote of the council members present. The meeting included no public comments. City offices were announced closed on Jan. 19 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and the council adjourned at 5:32 p.m.
What the actions mean: the accepted donation will provide LED fixtures and brackets to city facilities (quantity and installation timing not specified in the meeting record). The Municipal Consultants agreement authorizes engineering and design work for the New Harmony subdivision; the transcript records a brief explanation from Stanley Higgins but does not specify contract dollar amounts or project timeline. The repeal of the earlier resolution removes the council’s prior authorization for the mayor to enter into a sale agreement with Alabama Power Company; the meeting record does not specify terms of that earlier proposed sale. The newly created youth council is an advisory program the city plans to implement later in the year. The Public Building Authority appointment fills an expired term; the appointee’s name was not stated in the minutes presented at this meeting.
The council’s next procedural step will depend on staff follow-up for implementation details: execution of the engineering contract, scheduling installation or acceptance logistics for the donated lighting, and administration of the youth council and the Public Building Authority appointment. The meeting minutes were signed and filed following adjournment.
