Council advances airport-manager code amendment and surplus-property lease for St. Michael's clinic to immediate consideration

The Anniston City Council took up two ordinances on first reading and moved both for immediate consideration. The first ordinance would amend chapter 35, R02 of the Code of Ordinances governing the office of the airport manager; members moved for unanimous consent for immediate consideration and a roll call on immediate consideration was held. The chair then opened a public hearing for the ordinance, inviting anyone who wished to speak to state their name and address and limit remarks to three minutes; the chair later closed the hearing, noting other comments but not recording public testimony in the transcript.

The council also considered an ordinance to declare surplus real property and authorize its lease; the chair identified the item as related to St. Michael’s clinic and members moved for immediate consideration and recorded a roll call. The transcript records affirmative roll-call responses to the motions for immediate consideration for these ordinances.

The transcript contains roll-call confirmations (the clerk called councilor names and affirmative responses are recorded). The explicit final-adoption votes and ballot tallies for passage/adoption are not fully legible in the transcript excerpt provided; the clerk conducted roll calls and the meeting moved forward with public-hearing procedure, but the record as delivered does not unambiguously capture final adoption language or full vote tallies for each ordinance. The ordinances remain at the stage of immediate consideration and first-reading procedures per the transcript.
