Leeds council approves three resolutions, payables and schedules sign enforcement; park restroom to be relocated
Summary
At its March 23 meeting, the City of Leeds Council approved minutes, payables and three resolutions (senior catering contract, turf/ant contract with GreenCo, and surplus-property disposal). Council also set a 45-day timeline to begin sign-ordinance enforcement and plans to relocate outdoor restrooms to Memorial Park within two months.
The City of Leeds Council met March 23, 2026, and approved routine business including minutes, payables and three resolutions authorizing a senior catering contract bid, a turf- and ant-control contract with GreenCo, and disposal of surplus property.
Mayor Eddie Moore called the meeting to order at 6:10 p.m. and read a proclamation declaring April Leeds Heritage Month before the council moved into routine business. Council Member Cary Kennedy moved to approve the March 9 work-session minutes with the addition of Council Member Sabrina Rose’s email; the motion was seconded by Council Member Dale Faulkner and carried by the four members present: Mayor Eddie Moore, Council Member Sabrina Rose, Council Member Cary Kennedy and Council Member Dale Faulkner.
Council Member Kennedy then moved to approve the March 9 regular meeting minutes; the motion was seconded by Council Member Rose and approved by the same four members.
The council voted unanimously, among those present, to approve payables for March 23, 2026. The body then considered three resolutions. Resolution 2026-03-01, to accept the bid for the Senior Citizen Catering Contract, passed after a motion from Council Member Sabrina Rose and a second from Council Member Cary Kennedy. Resolution 2026-03-02, authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract with GreenCo for turf maintenance and ant control services, passed on a motion from Council Member Cary Kennedy and a second from Council Member Rose. Resolution 2026-03-03, declaring miscellaneous items surplus and authorizing their disposal by any practicable means allowed by law, also passed on a motion from Council Member Kennedy and a second from Council Member Rose. All three resolutions recorded yea votes from the four members present and were recorded as passed.
During member reports, Mayor Moore said the city is working to obtain a pole barn to protect new equipment. Council Member Kennedy reported he is researching zoning requirements for donation boxes, and that a sign ordinance committee will be formed with enforcement (including issuance of citations) expected to begin within 45 days. Kennedy also said outdoor restrooms originally planned for the pickleball courts will instead be installed at Memorial Park, with installation expected within two months.
Kennedy and others credited city crews (identified as Johnny and Jody in the minutes) with recent cleanup work across the city, including vegetation clearing along Highway 119 and Ashville Road. Council Member Dale Faulkner announced that equipment to tear down houses will be arriving soon; the minutes provided no timeline or budget details for demolition work.
The meeting adjourned at 6:47 p.m.; minutes were attested by Acting City Clerk Ronnie Dixon.
