Summary
In a series of unanimous votes, council accepted bids for traffic signs and a command trailer, reappointed a library board member, amended the personnel handbook effective date, approved dozens of expense vouchers, and recorded multiple contract authorizations.
Beyond the major policy items, the Gulf Shores City Council on June 8 approved a number of procurement and administrative actions during its regular meeting.
