Lanett council tables resolution to fix Davis Building water issues after safety and code concerns
Summary
Councilmembers tabled Resolution 08-24-20 to correct water issues in the Davis Building after objections and a recommendation from Code Enforcement that the property be inspected and brought up to code before the city invests.
The Lanett City Council on Aug. 19 tabled a resolution to correct water issues in the Davis Building, citing objections from a councilmember and a recommendation that the property be inspected before the city commits funds.
Councilmember Tamalita Autry read Resolution 08-24-20 addressing water problems in the Davis Building. Councilmember Angelia F. Thomas raised objections during the discussion. Councilmember Tifton Dobbs explained the chain of events that led to the problem, according to the minutes. Johnny Wood, the city's Code Enforcement officer, recommended that the council require an inspection and that the building be brought up to code before the council votes to invest in repairs or other actions.
Following that recommendation, Councilmember Tony Malone moved to table Resolution 08-24-20; Councilmember Thomas seconded the motion. The motion to table carried. The minutes record no dollar figures or a repair timeline; the minutes direct staff to inspect the Davis Building and report back before further council action.
The tabling leaves the substance of the proposed corrective work unresolved; the council recorded the motion to table without specifying a follow-up date beyond standard inspection and reporting procedures.
