Leeds City Council reviews parks rules, zoning amendment and SS4A grant plan at April 27 work session
Summary
At a 37-minute Leeds City Council work session on April 27, council members discussed updating park rules and fees (Ordinance 2026-04-01), a zoning exterior-materials amendment (Ordinance 2026-04-03), a Witt O'Brien-led USDOT SS4A grant application, procurement of a side-arm cutter, two appointments, and payables; no public comments were recorded.
The City of Leeds City Council met in a work session on April 27, 2026, at 5:03 p.m. Mayor Eddie Moore presided and the city clerk recorded a quorum with Council Members Sabrina Rose, Eric Turner, Cary Kennedy, Ryan Holtbrooks and Dale Faulkner present. The meeting ran about 37 minutes and concluded at 5:40 p.m.
Council members reviewed a suite of agenda items. They discussed Ordinance 2026-04-01, which would restate and amend the city's parks rules (O2014-07-01) to adopt updated rules, reservation guidelines and set permit and rental fees for parks, playgrounds and the splashpad. The minutes record the item as discussed; no vote or final adoption is recorded in the meeting minutes.
Members also considered Ordinance 2026-04-03, a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance (2015-06-06) to further regulate exterior building materials in certain zoning districts. The discussion was listed under new business; the minutes do not record a motion or vote on the measure.
The council reviewed Resolution 2026-04-04 to establish travel expense allowances for the mayor and council members. The item appeared for consideration only in the work session minutes, with no recorded outcome.
On transportation and federal funding, the council discussed Resolution 2026-04-05 to approve Witt O'Brien to prepare and submit an application for the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning and demonstration grant. The resolution would authorize the city to engage a consultant to pursue federal road-safety planning funds; the minutes capture the discussion but do not document an approval or the next procedural step.
Procurement matters included Resolution 2026-04-06, authorizing the mayor to purchase a right-of-way side-arm cutter from Rentals-Warren Equipment Company. The agenda lists the purchase as an authorization request; the minutes do not record whether the council approved the purchase at this session.
Two appointment items were on the agenda: Resolution 2026-04-07 to appoint a member to the City of Leeds Board of Education and Resolution 2026-04-08 to appoint a member to the City of Leeds Housing Authority Board. The minutes list both items for discussion and do not identify appointees or record votes.
The council also reviewed payables for April 27, 2026. The minutes note the payables item on the agenda but provide no detail on amounts or an approval record. The public comment period recorded no speakers.
The work session adjourned at 5:40 p.m. The minutes were signed by Mayor Eddie Moore and attested by Ronnie Dixon, Acting City Clerk, with the signature dated May 11, 2026. No formal motions, roll-call votes, or final actions are recorded in the provided minutes for the items discussed; items appear to have been considered at the work-session level for future action or placement on a regular meeting agenda.
