The Town Council of Indian Springs Village on Aug. 20 unanimously approved the minutes of its Aug. 6 regular meeting and set a public hearing on a nuisance complaint at 72 Merivale Lane in Birmingham.
Councilmember Dale Elliott moved to approve and dispense with the reading of the Aug. 6 minutes; Councilmember Herb Robins seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Later in the meeting, the council considered Resolution No. 08-20-2024-001 to schedule a public hearing on nuisances resulting from overgrown grass and weeds at 72 Merivale Lane. Councilmember Elliott moved to approve the resolution, Councilmember Richard Harley seconded, and with all in favor the motion carried, setting the hearing.
