Trussville council approves stormwater plan, park scoreboards, street acceptances and surpluses; moves into executive session
Summary
At its regular September meeting, the Trussville City Council approved the city’s 2024 stormwater management plan, authorized a purchase and installation agreement for new park scoreboards, accepted subdivision streets, approved surplus Public Works equipment, and voted to enter executive session to discuss pending litigation.
Trussville City Council approved a set of proclamations and resolutions at its regular session and voted to adjourn into executive session to discuss pending litigation. Councilors voted, by voice vote, to adopt the annual 2024 stormwater management plan and to authorize several parks and public-works measures.
The council, led in procedural motions by Council President Anderson, approved Resolution 2024-45 adopting the city’s 2024 stormwater management program plan, which the presenting councilor described as an annual update with no major changes for 2024. Councilor Taylor presented the resolution and the motion carried on a second and voice vote.
Councilor Cook introduced Resolution 2024-46 authorizing the mayor to enter into an agreement with Score Time / Scoreboards Sales & Service LLC for purchase and installation of baseball and softball scoreboards connected to an existing dugout and synthetic turf fields project. The motion passed by voice vote. The dollar amount cited in the meeting transcript is garbled (presented in the record as "$ 73,3 2468"); the council stated the estimated cost falls below the statutory bid threshold referenced in Act 2023-497 and authorized the mayor to execute the agreement. The transcript does not provide a clear, verifiable final contract price; that figure should be confirmed with the city clerk or Public Works before publication.
The council approved Resolution 2024-47 to accept various streets in the Pepper Tree subdivision into the city street system and approved Resolution 2024-48 to surplus a list of Public Works equipment (chainsaws and mowers), both by voice vote following standard motion/second procedures.
Earlier in the meeting the council approved several ceremonial proclamations, including a homecoming parade proclamation and observances for Patriot Day, Constitution Week and POW/MIA Recognition Day.
Mayor Buddy Cho updated the council on upcoming bid timelines for the Loop Road project and said work on Interstate 59 is expected to mobilize in October, with related repaving on Highway 11. At the meeting’s close a motion to enter executive session to discuss pending litigation passed; the council indicated it would not return to open session that night.
