Homewood council approves $908,299.81 transfer for US‑31 A‑trip project to meet ALDOT timeline
Summary
The council unanimously approved a budget amendment transferring $908,299.81 from carryover fund balance to support the US‑31 A‑trip project with ALDOT, citing time sensitivity to meet an ALDOT response deadline; ordinance 2980 passed 3‑0.
The Homewood City Council on June 22 approved a budget amendment transferring $908,299.81 from the city’s carryover fund balance to finance the US‑31 A‑trip project work tied to Alabama Department of Transportation coordination.
City attorney Mr. Jackson read the ordinance amendment and staff said the transfer is time‑sensitive because of an ALDOT deadline to secure concurrence and funding for access management and paving work along the corridor. The council approved the resolution and ordinance by unanimous consent and roll‑call vote; the ordinance was recorded as 2980.
The ordinance amends the general fund budget for fiscal year 2025–2026 to move $908,299.81 to the line item for A‑trip two; staff said the transfer will leverage additional paving and access management projects being coordinated with ALDOT. The council indicated the action was necessary to meet an externally imposed response date.
The motion to approve was moved and seconded by councilors at the meeting; roll‑call vote recorded affirmative from Councilor Simmons, Councilor Sims and Councilor Lane.
Ordinance 2980 takes effect immediately under its terms; staff will proceed with ALDOT coordination and project implementation.
