Gadsden council approves $65,000 contract for 700–1,000-foot commercial slip-and-slide event
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to sign an agreement with Urban Slide LLC for a commercial-grade slip-and-slide (approximately 700–1,000 feet) for a city event on July 25, 2026; the cost is $65,000 to be covered by sponsorships.
Councilwoman Latham introduced resolution 20260641 authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with Urban Slide LLC for the use of a commercial-grade slip-and-slide roughly 700 to 1,000 feet long for a city event scheduled July 25, 2026 on a portion of 3rd Street between S. 1st Street and Morang Avenue. She said the agreement cost is $65,000 and will be funded through sponsorships. The council considered and adopted the resolution by voice vote.
Council members asked to consider the item as new business and then moved to adopt; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. The agreement as described assigns event logistics to the mayor's office and funds the contractor through sponsorship commitments rather than direct general-fund appropriation according to the presentation.
