Good evening, everyone.

Good evening, everyone.

Um, I would ask everyone to please stand.

The city council has come to order.

We're going to begin tonight's meeting with the prayer.

And then following our prayer, we ask everyone to remain standing for our pledge of allegiance.

Let's bow our heads, please.

Dear God, bless our proceedings tonight.

Give us the wisdom to know what is just and the strength to do what is right.

Amen.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Please be seated.

We approve the minutes.

Minutes stand approved.

Tonight we have two uh recognitions I'd like to uh first begin with.

We have a group in from Schorndorf, our sister city.

And I'm going to ask Miss Dorrell to please come up and introduce her delegation that is here tonight.

We just had a reception with them.

We're certainly honored to be part of this relationship.

Mr.

Tyner, I believe you're a member.

Yes, sir.

Of the Sister Cities Commission.

So, Ms.

Dorrell, if you would, the podium is yours.

Hello, everyone.

So this is actually my first time speaking to you as my city council, although I have always voted because I'm a good citizen.

But uh I am the new executive director of Sister Cities, um, following the themed Lisa Keys.

And um, very thankfully, as a person who lived in Germany and I have a degree in German, it was happy that my first sister cities to interact with was Schorndorf, Germany.

So in July, we took 20 students as we normally do from the Tuscaloosa City Schools, all exceptional students, uh, to Schorndorf, and we did our exchange, and they stayed with host their host partners, and now um now the German students are here with us.

If you are either if you are a city school student that has participated in this year's exchange, could y'all stand?

Okay, if you and then also our German students.

And as the city council has so phenomenally supported uh Sister Cities for all of these years, I know you know, and many of you have been on the trips, how amazing and powerful now more than ever, and how important it is for people to meet as people and to get to kind of go beyond the government and beyond the the policies and just see that we are all the same.

You know, we all want healthy families and we all want to be happy, and I believe that these students will be um different because they have had this opportunity to um be with um someone from another nation in a way that they never have before.

And if it's okay, can we have some students?

Yes, absolutely.

Okay.

So I would first would like Reed Benson to come share.

He is uh one of our delegates.

Uh hello.

Sorry, she said my name's Reed Bankson.

I'm a senior at Northridge High School.

Uh I went to the Sissy Cities Exchange to Schorndorf this summer.

And um I just like to say first off that this exchange is something it's an opportunity that I never thought that we would have the experience.

Um it's different than just going to tour a different country.

You can go tour anywhere in the world, but to be able to go and really experience a different lifestyle is something that no one I mean so few people get to really experience.

And then these people are going to grow up with these memories and with this in mind.

And uh I just like to say from everyone that attended Sister Cities, thank you so much to the city of Tuscaloosa for sponsoring it.

And uh, yeah, thank you so much.

And I would be amiss if I did not um share that this is uh Timo Botta and Diana Browning, and they are the two German teachers who are here at Chaperones, and they do our program when we're there, they plan our program, and they have two German students that would like to share hello everybody.

On behalf of our group, we want to sincerely thank you for your well hospitality and a wonderful welcome we received here in Tuscaloosa.

This exchange between Jordan and Tuscan.

Much more than a travel experience.

It's an opportunity to build friendships to understand one another's cultures and to see the world through new eyes.

Programs like this remind us that the connections we have as individuals can strengthen the ties between our communities and countries.

We are especially grateful to Shelley Durrell and everyone in love as a city.

Is this the city of organization?

What a hard work and dedication making this exchange possible.

Your effort of and this incredible support by the city of Tuscaloosa, the schools and all the wonderful families create lifelong memories and help us young people discover that.

Thank you again for welcoming us so warmly and showing us what true international friendship looks like.

Roll tide.

So when we were in Schorndorf and we were leaving, um a man came up to me and he had a University of Alabama sweatshirt on, and I thought, oh how nice.

One of our Tuscaloosa students must have brought this, you know, University of Alabama sweatshirt.

And then I found out no, he was a exchange student to Tuscaloosa in the 90s.

Because we're about to have our 30th anniversary.

And now Elijah's stand-up, if you don't mind.

Elijah is his son, and Elijah is now part of our exchange.

So it is a long commitment, and it is it has been a generation of benefits to our city.

So thank you so much.

Thank you.

And I've just seen so many wonderful, wonderful people, met so many wonderful people, wonderful stories.

And I'm just so happy that uh to have you all here today and and think that our partnership is stronger than ever.

Before we close, I'll I first want to thank Mr.

and our sister cities commission and the volunteers who make this all possible.

I want to thank the city schools for supporting this.

I also want to thank the parents out here who dedicate so much time and energy to do this for their children and the people they love the most.

And I certainly believe that programs like this changes expectations on so many levels and in so many ways.

And to the parents who invest to make this happen, thank you for doing it.

To everyone involved with this program, thank you for doing so.

Um I will also say this: you are more than welcome to stay for the rest of the council meeting.

But if you would like to escape at this time, please know the council certainly understands.

Probably some of them would like to go with you.

Um but it's it's okay.

We certainly understand y'all had a long several days.

If you need to move on to the next thing, we certainly understand.

Again, let's give them a round of applause.

Is Kelly Johns and Don Barnes here?

I hope so.

Yeah, we have so much money for real.

We'll wait a second.

They're so orderly and quiet.

Yeah, we're way quieter than us.

You know, it's very nice to see our council chambers full and they're not mad at us.

Yeah, you're right.

Pretty rare.

Yeah.

Is uh I don't see Kelly Johns.

Is Kelly John?

Well, come on, come on down.

Let's come on, let's go.

Um next, we're gonna recognize Down syndrome awareness month.

And so please come forward while I read this proclamation into the record.

Whereas Down syndrome is the most frequently occurring chromo chromosomal disorder and is leading cause of intellectual and developmental delay in the United States.

Whereas approximately one in every 700 children are born with Down syndrome representing estimated 6,000 births in the United States, approximately 85 of those annual births occurring right here in Alabama.

Whereas, through public awareness, the City of Tuscaloosa supports initiatives of organizations working to ensure people with Down syndrome have adequate services, are valued by society, and can lead a fulfilling and productive life in our community.

Now therefore it be resolved that I want Maddox on behalf of the City Council to hereby proclaim October 2025 to be Down syndrome awareness month in Tuscaloosa and encourage all citizens to work together to celebrate the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and remember to appreciate and regard every individual of dignity as a value member of this community.

And as a point of personal privilege, uh my mother spent 33 years teaching children with intellectual disability, primarily children with Down syndrome.

My father spent 33 years with Alabama Vocational Rehabilitation and as a school teacher, primarily with Down syndrome.

I grew up at the as you could say the dinner table of understanding just what we should do to help all those in our society.

So it's with a great honor and privilege, and especially considering my parents' lifetime of work, to present this proclamation to you on behalf of a very grateful city.

We are so glad to have you.

Come on now.

Hey, good evening, I'm Misty Hobson with West Alabama Down syndrome.

Um behalf of our families and our friends, we thank you for um recognizing the month of October as Down syndrome awareness month.

Um Mayor, uh, will you read the definition of Down syndrome on the back of Lily's shirt?

A genetic condition caused by the presence of a third copy of the 21st chromosome.

I would have never been able to tell you that about reading.

Two, a special ability to recognize the beauty and goodness in the world, radiated joy and positivity, and offer a unique perspective perspective that inspires and transforms the others see life.

Well, that being said, um inclusion support, uh acceptance is important for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

Thank you so much for having us tonight.

We really appreciate you.

Thank you.

Mr.

Tiner, I'll turn it over to you for any announcements.

Okay.

I don't have any.

Any jacks updates?

I'll I'll I'll be at Jack Saturday morning, Lord will.

I was counting on you, Mr.

Fell.

I needed some fillers on the filler.

I'm sorry.

I apologize, Mayor.

I've let you down before.

Okay, so no other council announcements tonight.

Any agenda item comments by citizens.

Yes, sir.

We've got Mr.

Ziggy Spires here to speak on the city's towing ordinance.

Okay.

If you would please come forward, um give your name and address for the record.

You'll have five minutes to address city council.

All right.

Oh I missed last week's council meeting in the meeting before I was trying to make it, but I was quoted the wrong time.

So I'm going to address my issues with this tonight.

Thank you, Mr.

Councilman.

Thank you, Mayor.

Mr.

Fail, I appreciate everything you've done for me, pushing everything through.

I like the rate changes.

There's just a couple of things that I guess I have questions about, and I'd like to have still changed.

Uh towing, we're $18 more.

Our 3 PI was supposed to be raised April, October 1st this year, going with like 3.5, I think it was last year.

We're 1853 to the good.

On the towing of illegally parked cars, the rate were to $4.4 cents to the good.

After hours fee, we've lost $3 from 78 to 75.

If we'd went with a CPI, it would have took us to 80, 73.

So they backed it down back to 75 on the after hours release.

Just I can deal with it good if that's if that's what it has to be.

I just saying we thought we was going to go up on that with the CPI.

Uh the call out fee is still worded closely to the same as it was in the original contract of uh excuse me.

I'm getting a little older.

After hours fee shall not exceed $75 and shall only be charged if an employee must respond from off site.

I'm trying to get that to where every customer after hours pays exactly the same.

That way it's no confusion, arguing that Billy paid 285.

Sally come in and paid the 210 because we was there for Billy to get his car.

I kind of feel like everybody should pay the same because if one of y'all call a plumber out to have plumbing done on the weekend, y'all pay the call-out fee.

If your neighbor walks, says, hey, while you're here, come over and look at my plumbing.

And he not had to pay the fee.

He gets the the call out fee waived because you paid the fee for him to come out.

That's all I'm trying to do is get that all across the board included to where everybody pays it exactly the same after hours, no if, ands, or buts.

It cuts down confusion with customers picking up a car and everything.

And one other question I had in section, I guess the same section uh number active one.

It's uh the act of towing the car is what it says.

Uh I may be misunderstanding, but I thought maybe Brad Fanning told me one time the act of towing also included the bed being down on the rollback and the wheel lift being under a car, and somewhere in here it says that it's not like being blocked in where you're charging them like that.

But if the bed's down, we're in active towing the rollback.

It takes a few more minutes to get a bed down and hook cable to it.

So I just wanted a little more clarification on that if we could, Mr.

Bobbitt.

I think that's all.

Any questions from anybody that I might can answer?

What does it cost, sir?

If you get towed from the strip, say on a Saturday night.

What's it cost?

Sir, what does it cost if you're towed from the strip on a Saturday night?

As of right now, if the rate change, it's like it's gonna be 210 straight across the board as a drop fee, and if we make it to the office, it'd be an after hours call out fee of 75, so it'd make it a total of 285 to get to the shop.

What was what was the second part, sir?

If we make a what?

One more time.

I can't have here.

I didn't hear the second part of what you said.

The second part is the uh the 75.

The the call out fee of the 75.

Uh it should be 70, it's 78 now as it is by the CPI of last year, October 1st.

Yes, sir.

What does call out fee mean?

That's not a call to call it like you call a plumber out on the weekend.

You have a problem with plumbing after hours between Monday through Friday as a regular call out fee, but on the weekend they may charge you 150 to come out to assist you at whatever a plumber uh whatever comes out for that situation.

And how does this work, Chief?

Do we designate uh a vendor to be used, or is this market competition or what?

So excuse me, rotation.

So basically, if we call a rotation fee, which they're on our list, um, we'll call for rotation that's next available.

So we have multiple.

Yes, we have multiple rotations, and our logic and thinking on this is yes, if you are at the house or you're not you are not at your business, there should be a fee assessed to come out there.

But if you tow five cars and then you're already out there, we do not believe it's fair to get that 75 fee every single time.

We believe you've got your fee for coming out, and if you release five vehicles within an hour, we just don't think it's fair that every person has to pay the call out fee when you're already on location.

Understanding I and I really appreciate y'all and Chief Clark, I think was the stuck E on uh dealing with but we appreciate the recommendations that come to us.

Obviously, seven people can't negotiate uh market prices on anything, so we very much appreciate the time y'all put in formulating those recommendations.

Yes, sir.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Any other agenda item comments?

No, sir.

Okay.

Uh we have no unfinished business.

Consent agenda, clerk.

This approves items A through L on the consent agenda.

It's been moved and seconded to adopt the adopt the consent agenda.

Voting Mr.

Lanier.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Consent agenda is adopted.

Public hearings, clerk.

This adopts zoning amendment number 19.

Move adoption.

Second.

It's been moved and second.

Mr.

Ponds.

This is a rezoning request by Jamie Gray petitioning to rezone approximately 0.55 acres located at and around 2678-21st Street from NC to MR1.

This is in council district two.

The location of the property here.

The aerial of the property as it exists today.

And then the zoning of the property.

So MR1 is what they're wanting to go to.

It's currently zoned NC.

So the applicant is requesting to rezone in order to cut construct four single family homes.

So you can see the structure on site now is commercial in nature.

Clearly hasn't been utilized in a while.

And so I think the owner just wants to move forward with residential instead of commercial.

And then this is what that might look like.

And these are some of the homes that and some of the ideas of what they they want to put there.

And this was unanimously recommended for approval at the August 18th PCC meeting.

Any questions, Mr.

Ponds?

Thanks.

If the applicant would come forward and please give your name and address while the applicant is speaking, can we go back to the renderings?

No issues.

I just like it.

Council, this I'm Chris Centel, Central Engineering.

I represent Ms.

Ms.

Gray, uh rezoning.

I'd be glad to answer any questions, but the the images are single family residential homes uh in in replace uh commercial building.

So and they're already four individual lots ready ready to be built on.

So if if you give me a favorable approval, any questions, Mr.

Centel.

Will these be for sale?

It's my understanding they will be for sale.

That's correct.

That's my understanding, too.

They're for sale.

Any other questions, Mr.

Centel?

They do look good.

Yeah.

All right.

Thank you, sir.

This is a public hearing.

Good evening, Mayor and Council.

My name is Charles Levis, uh 618 14th Street, Tusclose, Alabama.

Any questions for the applicant?

Yeah, please.

Um tell us a little bit about the concept here.

You you're in the old park view center.

Yeah, so we're in the old park view center.

Um the concept of our business is we essentially are kind of the same of like a Doordash or an Uber, it's similar to that, but we operate uh we started on the West Coast on college campuses, and then we spread it.

We quickly kind of start spreading across the country, and this is our first location in the south.

We do uh instant delivery service in 10 minutes or less using electric scooters, and it's uh run by it's basically all student employees.

I'm the only manager that's not in college right there because I'm the owner of it.

I'm sorry, slow down a little bit.

I'm having a little trouble.

Oh, apologies.

I'm old.

So it's a delivery service.

Yeah, we uh we do a delivery service for a C store essentially.

Uh we have in-store pickup options, but primarily we do delivery.

Of what's up?

Of what?

Uh I'm sorry, I missed that.

Of what?

Of what uh of what?

What do you mean by delivering?

What do you deliver?

Oh, oh, we don't deliver any alcohol at this time, but we are trying to get our alcohol license so that we can deliver alcohol um and so that we can help reduce the amount of drinking and driving that's going on among the college students in the area.

And you deliver how on electric scooters?

We use electric scooters.

Um they we have backpacks that a lot of our riders have in them, or like they carry around with them on their deliveries, and that's where they keep the items that they're dropping off.

What's the deal on those, sir?

Are they are they licensed?

They have helmets.

Uh they don't go faster than they don't, they're not licensed because they don't licensed.

No, because they don't go faster than the uh legal threshold for them to be licensed.

Oh, there's a legal threshold in view.

I believe yes, yeah.

What's what's the deal on this?

Are you talking about in the zones of the uh no no?

I'm I'm talking about on the the using motorized vehicles as delivery vehicles in a commercial operation, and they're not licensed and they're not and they don't have to be.

I would need to research that, sir.

That's a fail on my part on this, but I'd ask for a table for one week to let me look into this more further.

I'm sorry, I would ask for a table of this for one week to let me look into it.

I would like to make a motion to table for one.

And I apologize that's on the bottom of how that scooters that they ride class in.

Sorry.

Are these the same scooters they already have on campus?

They're similar to the ones that you guys already have on campus.

They're electric scooters that they don't go faster than I believe our fastest one goes 19 miles.

Are you only going to operate on campus?

Uh we can't deliver alcohol or any of the tobacco products on campus.

We have to but the question was are you only going to operate on no?

We deliver off campus as well.

Um, our location obviously at Parkview Center.

A lot of our customers live right on that 13th Street area in that meter drive area.

And we our scooters don't go faster than uh 19 miles per hour, so they're not motor, they're electric motors.

Uh so that's I didn't believe that there is no license that would be needed for.

And council, I would actually ask, I'm interested in the verification of age on delivering the products and all as well.

I will dig into this this week.

Um that's a fair on my part not to have enough information on this.

And I've got another question.

I didn't I didn't understand.

You said you can't deliver alcohol and tobacco on campus.

So will you be delivering alcohol off campus?

Well, we would so in order to do that, we have a geofencing on our app on our service that would block all addresses on campus from being able to order alcohol.

So we can't deliver those there, so we wouldn't let that happen.

We have the geofencing to prohibit that, but we would deliver it to the houses that are around the campus area, so to speak, on the 13th Street area and the meter area.

So I I would make a motion to table for one week.

Second.

It's been moved and second to table for one week.

Um, any other discussion?

This was a public hearing when it was it is a public hearing.

Is there anyone here wishing to speak for or against seeing none?

Um what will happen is most likely.

Um I'm gonna ask because I I think the council has some very legitimate questions and concerns that were being raised.

Um I'm not certain.

I know from a staff level, this has been vetted.

I certainly wasn't aware of this dynamic, and so I take full responsibility for it.

Um I will make certain that tomorrow somebody will be reaching out from you on behalf of the city, and we'll get some questions answered for you, and they'll be back up to the council next week.

Sounds good, thank you.

So much time.

So we have a motion and second to table for one week voting, Mr.

Lanier.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the retail beer off-premise only is tabled for one week.

Clerk, we've got a table the other yes, sir.

This will table the off-premises retail table wine license for duffel.

So moved second.

It's been moved and second.

Same reports apply to this as well.

Voting Mr.

Eatman table for one week.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Both have been tabled for one week.

We'll be in touch with you tomorrow.
