The Moody City Council unanimously adopted the City of Moody 2024 Transportation Plan and approved a series of routine contracts and purchases during a brief meeting on Aug. 26, 2024. Mayor Joe Lee presided; Council Member Matt Morris was noted absent.
The council voted to adopt Resolution R2024-08-26, which the agenda lists as adopted "pursuant to the Rebuild Alabama Act," and approved a fiscal-year 2024–2025 contract with the St. Clair County Commission for central dispatching for $112,769.48. Council members also approved several budgeted maintenance and service expenditures, including a replacement motor for a 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicle and an AC repair at the Civic Center.
