The Gulf Shores City Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 7086-26 on Feb. 16 authorizing Mayor Robert Craft and the city clerk to execute an agreement with Davenport & Company, LLC to perform supplemental financial advisory services related to Gulf Shores High School financing.

City Administrator Jon Walker presented the proposal to retain Davenport & Company, saying the firm would provide supplemental advisory services for the high school financing. Councilman Philip Harris moved to adopt the resolution; Councilman Stephen E. Jones seconded the motion. The council voted 6–0 in favor, and Mayor Robert Craft declared the resolution duly adopted.
