Woodbine council approves $28,506 repair for 2017 Alamo, appoints Laura Higginbotham and tables GA Power lighting upgrade
Summary
At its May 5 meeting the Woodbine City Council approved a $28,506.09 repair for a 2017 Alamo, appointed Laura Higginbotham to the Planning Commission (with one recusal), tabled a GA Power LED lighting contract pending a company representative, and held an executive session.
The Woodbine City Council on May 5 approved several routine business items, including a $28,506.09 repair for a 2017 Alamo piece of city equipment, appointed Laura Higginbotham to a vacant seat on the Planning Commission and tabled a proposed GA Power LED lighting upgrade until a company representative can speak with the council.
Council moved quickly through procedural items early in the meeting: members voted unanimously to adopt an amended agenda and later unanimously approved minutes from the April 7 regular meeting. The council then approved a repair estimate for the city's 2017 Alamo boom arm from Dobbs Equipment, with the motion offered by Councilor C.C. Higginbotham and seconded by Phyllis Drummond; Mayor Kizziler Knight declared the motion unanimously approved. The quoted estimate to repair the boom arm is $28,506.09.
The council addressed a Planning Commission vacancy after Samantha Young, the city administrator, reported that Correy Higginbotham had resigned effective immediately. Rick Baird moved to appoint Laura Higginbotham to the commission; Louise Mitchell seconded the motion. Councilman C.C. Higginbotham recused himself from that vote, and the motion was approved and declared by Mayor Knight.
On a separate item, Young presented a GA Power LED lighting upgrade contract and told the council GA Power had said the current lights were too old for parts to remain available. Councilor C.C. Higginbotham moved to table the contract until a GA Power representative could speak with the council; Phyllis Drummond seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
The council voted to enter executive session late in the meeting; the session convened at 7:24 p.m. and the regular meeting reconvened at 8:07 p.m. The minutes and transcript do not disclose the topic discussed in executive session. The meeting record was signed by Mayor Kizziler Knight and City Administrator Samantha H. Young.
What’s next: the GA Power LED proposal will return to a future meeting after a company representative meets with city staff; the Planning Commission appointment takes effect as recorded and the Alamo repair work order is authorized to proceed.
