The Satsuma City Council on Feb. 24 unanimously approved a slate of routine administrative and operational actions and introduced an ordinance addressing garbage-collection fees and rates.
On motions recorded in the minutes, the council approved payment of $83,457.52 in bills, accepted the FY25 audit prepared by Wilkins Miller, and appointed Mayor Mark Barlow as the city’s voting delegate for the Annual Convention with Councilmember Randy Little as first alternate and Councilmember Jason Skelton as second alternate. The council also authorized $13,000 for repairs and upgrades to the Wright Park baseball field and approved $2,500 in grant funds to proceed with updates to the city’s Welcome Signs (a vendor quote for sign work was $2,147.96). The council unanimously accepted the resignation of firefighter Jordan Tuite in good standing.
The minutes list the ordinance on the agenda as "Ordinance 325-2 — Garbage Collection Fees and Rates," but when the ordinance was introduced the record references "Ordinance 352-2." The council voted to introduce the ordinance; the minutes do not show any final reading or adoption during this meeting.
Council also voted to enter executive session at 7:17 p.m. to discuss pending litigation; the body exited the executive session at 7:33 p.m. and adjourned at 7:34 p.m.
All recorded motions were approved "with all voting 'aye'" in the minutes. Recorded attendees who voted include Mayor Mark Barlow and Councilmembers Randy Little, Jake O’Rear, Jason Skelton, Shirley Presnall and Bert Taylor.
Next steps: the minutes do not record additional public hearings or final ordinance adoption on the garbage-collection item; the ordinance remains at introduction stage as of this meeting.
