Trussville council approves consent agenda, proclamations and conveys Loop Road right-of-way to First Methodist Church
Summary
At its May 12 meeting the City Council unanimously approved prior minutes, a six-item consent agenda, proclamations honoring Public Works Week and local mountain bike teams, and Ordinance No. 2026-011ADM conveying a Loop Road right‑of‑way to First Methodist Church.
The Trussville City Council unanimously approved several routine and ceremonial items and a property conveyance during its May 12 meeting.
Councilor Jim Miller moved (seconded by Councilor Brian Jackson) to approve minutes from the previous meeting with a correction; the motion passed unanimously. Councilor Kimberly Farr moved (seconded by Councilor Ben Horton) to approve a six-item consent agenda, and Councilor Horton moved (seconded by Councilor Jackson) to approve a shortened regular agenda — both approved unanimously.
The council also approved two proclamations: Proclamation No. 2026‑14 declaring May 17‑23 National Public Works Week and Proclamation No. 2026‑15 honoring Hewitt‑Trussville middle‑ and high‑school club mountain bike teams for recent state championships. Both proclamations passed unanimously.
On a motion to suspend the rules for immediate consideration, moved by Councilor Ben Horton and seconded by Councilor Jim Miller, the council voted unanimously to hear and approve Ordinance No. 2026‑011ADM to declare certain Loop Road right‑of‑way surplus and convey it to First Methodist Church of Trussville. The vote was recorded as unanimous.
What this means: The conveyance transfers city surplus right‑of‑way to a local church; the ordinance and the proclamations were adopted without recorded opposition. Routine agenda approvals clear the way for the council to proceed with the remaining items on its calendar.
