Pike Road council annexes 1098 Chaseway Drive, approves $1,750 discretionary donation; hears franchise renewal first reading
Summary
At its March 9 meeting, the Town of Pike Road Council adopted an annexation ordinance for 1098 Chaseway Drive, approved a $1,750 discretionary donation for a cancer-wellness campaign, and heard first readings on a Spectrum franchise renewal and another annexation.
Rob Steindorff, Councilman, called the Town of Pike Road Town Council to order at 6:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026; Doug Fuhrman, Councilman, opened the meeting in prayer and led the Pledge of Allegiance.
The council unanimously approved the minutes from its Feb. 25, 2026 regular meeting after a motion by Marcus Robinson, Councilman, seconded by Mim Whatley, Councilwoman.
In reports, Darrell Rigsby, Planning Senior Planner, said the next step after adoption of the town’s Comprehensive Plan will be updates to the town’s regulations. Rigsby said those updates will be followed by public meetings to share the proposed regulatory changes.
On its only item of old business, the council considered Ordinance 2026-0612, the annexation of 1098 Chaseway Drive. Councilwoman Mim Whatley moved to approve the ordinance; Councilman Doug Fuhrman seconded. The council adopted Ordinance 2026-0612 by unanimous vote of the members present.
Under new business, Town Clerk Lisa Burke reviewed a proposed renewal of the franchise agreement with Spectrum Southeast, LLC. Burke said the proposal renews a recently expired agreement with only minor changes and continues to include a maximum franchise fee of 5 percent. The council treated the measure as a first reading and scheduled further consideration for the next regularly scheduled meeting.
The council also opened a first reading of an annexation ordinance for 581 Parks Road. The property owner was not present to answer questions; the item will return on the next meeting agenda for further consideration.
In other business, Councilwoman Mim Whatley presented a discretionary fund request on behalf of absent Councilwoman Angie Bradsher to support a campaign for the Cancer Wellness Foundation of Central Alabama and Pike Road residents participating in the campaign. The request sought $1,750 from the town’s discretionary fund. Whatley moved to approve the expenditure; Councilman Doug Fuhrman seconded and the council approved the request. The council noted a presentation on the expenditure will be made at the next council meeting.
With no further business, Whatley moved to adjourn at 6:10 p.m.; Fuhrman seconded, and the meeting was adjourned by unanimous consent.
