Votes at a glance: Dalton City Council approves routine items, grants, professional-services amendment
Summary
At its June 1 meeting the Dalton City Council approved the agenda, minutes, an alcohol license for Los Pablo Mexican Restaurant, CDBG and ESG certifications, an $82,000 amendment for the Mill Line trail, a mayoral appointment, and motions to enter and exit an executive session.
Dalton City’s Mayor and Council approved a series of routine and substantive items at their June 1, 2026 meeting, including grant certifications, a professional-services contract amendment, and a mayoral appointment.
The council first approved the meeting agenda and minutes from the May 18, 2026 meeting by voice vote. The council then approved a pouring license for Los Pablo Mexican Restaurant (applicant: Janette Rodriguez) after a positive recommendation from the Public Safety Commission.
Cindy presented Resolution 26-16, the FY2026–2027 Community Development Block Grant annual action plan. The council voted to adopt the plan as presented. The resolution as read cited a city award amount and recommended subawards to local nonprofit and housing partners (details in the report to council). Separately, the council certified consistency for City of Refuge’s Emergency Solutions Grant application, enabling that organization to pursue a $50,000 ESG grant with matching funds noted in the application.
Andrew presented an $82,000 amendment to the professional-services agreement with Conserve North America to modify the Mill Line trail alignment to avoid newly identified wetlands and floodplain impacts; council approved the amendment, which includes additional survey, geotechnical, and bridge-foundation assessment work.
Mayor Sams nominated Jackson Shepard to serve on the Limestone Valley RCND board; the council approved the appointment by voice vote. The council also voted to go into executive session to discuss real estate and subsequently returned to open session before adjourning.
The meeting record reflects voice votes without named roll calls for most routine motions; the transcript does not provide an itemized roll-call tally for each vote.
The council expects to return to several first-reading ordinances at a future meeting for final action.
