Council holds first reading to move airport manager under planning and economic development
Summary
Council members held a first reading on an ordinance to reassign the office of airport manager from the city manager's office to the planning and economic development department, framing the airport as an economic-development tool and noting recent congressional-appropriation discussions in Washington.
The Chair presented an ordinance (first reading) to move the office of airport manager out from under the city manager and place it under planning and economic development, saying the airport should be used as an economic-development tool for the City of Anniston.
The Chair cited a recent trip to Washington, D.C., with Councilman Downey, Councilwoman Moss and Council Patosin to discuss a potential congressional appropriation related to the airport, and said the council expects the reassignment to help transform the area and region economically.
The Chair asked whether the council would consider unanimous consent for this ordinance (and noted it was on its first meeting). The item was presented as a first reading and for later consideration; the transcript records no final vote or final adoption.
