Hartselle City Council holds work session, interviews candidates for zoning-board alternate
Summary
At a Jan. 27 work session, Council President Charles “Chuck” Gill presided as the council conducted scheduled interviews for an alternate seat on the Board of Zoning Adjustment and listed eight agenda items — including ordinance changes, a proposed police canine unit and a Library/Event Center update — with no recorded votes or outcomes.
Hartselle City Council convened a work session Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Hartselle Municipal Building with Council President Charles “Chuck” Gill presiding. The council held scheduled interview slots for five candidates for an alternate position on the Board of Zoning Adjustment and listed several items for future consideration; no formal votes or motions are recorded in the minutes.
The council’s agenda included interviews for Noah Brazelton (5:30 p.m.), Rachelle Miller (5:35 p.m.), Nancy Busby (5:40 p.m.), Jason Blair (5:45 p.m.) and Nicholas Hensley (5:50 p.m.) for the alternate BZA position. The work-session record lists the candidates and interview times but does not provide a transcript of the interviews or indicate any selection or appointment outcome.
Council members present were Council President Charles “Chuck” Gill, Austin Baker, Sherry Yeager, Virginia Alexander and Mike Swafford. Mayor Missy Evans and City Clerk–Controller Rita S. Lee attended; the minutes note that City Attorney Larry Madison joined the session at 6:00 p.m.
The minutes list eight agenda topics for discussion: changes to the Cemetery Ordinance; changes to the Solid Waste Ordinance; a budget adjustment for a Development Incentive Reimbursement line item; a temporary traffic signal at Lando Cain Road; consideration of a HEMP ordinance; creating a job description to establish a new Development Department position; budget adjustments and approval to establish a canine unit for the police department; and a Library/Event Center update. The record does not include staff reports, proposed ordinance language, dollar amounts, motions, or any vote tallies related to those items; those details are therefore not specified in the minutes.
The work session concluded with the notation “There being no further business,” and the meeting was adjourned at 6:50 p.m. The minutes are attested by City Clerk Rita S. Lee and approved by Council President Dr. Charles M. Gill II.
