Turn on the family of your heart Turn on the family of your heart Turn on the family of your heart The family of your heart The family of your heart

Good morning Birmingham. Today is Tuesday, September 1st, 2026. It is 9.36. I declare the ordinary meeting of the Birmingham City Council open. The invocation today will be led by Reverend Laramie DeLong, Elder Pastor of the 22nd Avenue Baptist Church of Birmingham, and our oath of loyalty will be led by Councilor Clinton Woods. Pastor, if you want to get on the podium, get up and join us. Thank you.

Let's pray. Lord God, we came just now to say thank you, Lord.

I thank you for this new day, a day that we have never seen, a day that we will never see again. We thank you now for this advice. We thank you for the mayor, for all the leaders here in Birmingham. Lord God, we ask you now to give them a mind that is not based on their own understanding, but that recognizes you in all their ways so that you can direct their paths. We ask you to continue to give us a mind that loves each other and to remind us of our moral obligation to speak for those who have no voice. Lord God, we now pray for your healing and peace, so that love may bear fruit and dwell in all of us. And when all is said and done, we pray that you may give glory, because everything concerns you and not us. In the name of your Son Jesus, we thank you.

The flag of the United States of America to the city, because it is a united nation under God, indivisible and justice for all. Thank you for this prayer.

Thank you very much. Thank you, Councilor Woods, for guiding us in the oath of loyalty this morning. Good morning, Mr. President. Good morning. If you can call the role.

At this moment there is the mayor with his special guest who will hold the final presentation.

Good morning Mayor Whitman and our special guest, thank you very much.

Good morning Mr. Mayor, good morning Councilor, it's nice to see you all. We all have the pleasure of working with Ms. Gloria at the reception, she takes care of all of us. of our guests, visitors and anyone else who comes to the municipality to see the council and the mayor's office. Today is his birthday, so I would like to wish you a happy birthday.

So happy birthday, Mrs. Gross.

It is time for the presentation of Mr. Iol.

Good morning.

Good morning.

My name is Thomas Sola and I am the director of the mayor's office for resilience and sustainability. I wanted to come today to talk to you about an opportunity that the city offers to our young people. It's called Youth Climate Action Fund. We will offer subsidies between $ 1,000 and $ 5,000 to young people aged between 15 and 24 years old to engage in climate action in Birmingham. Some examples of projects that could be implemented are things like planting trees, organizing educational campaigns for their classmates, help their neighbors to work on energy efficiency in their homes, or even distribute hand dryers to their neighbors who could work outside during the summer.

The applications are open.

The window to present the applications will be open until October 9. Young people must ask questions through a partner organization such as a non-profit organization that will manage funds and help young people to organize themselves. You can ask questions on Birmingham.gov.ca I repeat, Birmingham.gov.ca Any help we can get to circulate the news would be fantastic. I saw that Mr. Smith spoke about it on his social media. Thank you. And yes, I can't wait to work with his offices, with the young people, to do a good job in Birmingham. Thank you.

Thank you very much for bringing us this announcement and I think it's a great, great opportunity. Bye. Mr. Smith, I didn't know you wanted to say something. Thank you, that's it. Thank you very much.

We appreciate it. Thank you. Excellent. This concludes the report.

Thank you, good morning Mayor, I want to thank you for bringing our special guest with us today and so we are very happy to see Joy. I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on what we had at Birmingham this weekend as regards the Birmingham Football Classic. I am very excited for the fans of both schools and their former students who came We have discovered that we have reached the second in the number of appearances in the HBVSU and BCU games, in what they call the week zero. So I think I really want to congratulate you all for your efforts and thank you. Ciazzi is our tourism manager, if you are the Czar or the sports commissioner. So I want to thank once again all those who have been involved. I would like to reflect only on some of the observations that have been presented to us as regards the game and I would just like to see if we can learn some lessons as regards some of the problems that emerged during the game. We know that it was at 2 p.m. We are on 90 degrees, so this was an obstacle that we had to face from the beginning. But once again, a fantastic audience and I would just like to see if we can have the opportunity to talk to all those who have been involved just to be sure. I know that there were some concerns about the availability of water, about hydration with concessions, about some people who came in and out and, once again, I think it was a great opportunity for us, but it is an opportunity for us to reflect and learn lessons while we prepare for the grandfather of everything that awaits us in October. We will not have meteorological challenges, but I would like us to examine and talk about some of the things that have been observed in order to be able to provide you with that information, and then we can meet and have the opportunity to discuss whether it would be a good idea. President, something that I thought Protective did really well for Chris Brown and Ezra's concert was that they had water stations and you were allowed to have, you know, these big water bottles in there, and so on. So it could be a good thing, something free, something relatively easy, or working with the H2O Foundation to do it. So I totally agree. I know that I have seen in many, even in the trips that we have made as an advice, that we are really encouraging people to bring those bottles or containers in which they can go on and receive hydration and receive the water they need. It is something that we can take into account. I know that at Leonfield there are challenges and that we are not only, you know, updated on some of the services that we could have, but I think there are some things we can work on. And again, I know that in the past the H12L Foundation or when it was the Birmingham Waterworks, there were bottles and things that were available to refresh people. So once again, just some lessons learned that we can talk to others and see if we can improve. Well, thank you very much for the moment. Now let's go back. Mr. Secretary, we have announcements of council and October agency deadlines. No, Mr. President. Well, thank you. So we don't have speakers, so now let's focus on the agenda for the consensus. And before examining the agenda for the consensus, I would like to read the following statement on the implementation of business. All the topics designated as consensus are non-controversial routines and will be approved with a motion All the topics in the agenda for the consensus will be announced only by reading the numbers of the topics. Separate discussions on these topics will not be allowed unless a member of the Council or the Mayor does not require that the topic be removed from the agenda for the consensus. Moreover, a citizen interested in addressing the Council is entitled to a topic in the agenda for the consensus and who is designated as a public hearing can require that the topic be removed from the agenda for the consensus to hold the hearing on such a topic. Any topic removed from the agenda for the consensus will return to its normal place in the agenda. As for the remaining issues, all the issues of permanent operation indicated with a capital P will be read and all public hearings will be announced. Councilors, I'm sorry, Mr. Secretary, if you want to read the topics that must be taken into consideration for the consensus.

Before that, let me go on. I had a couple of delays for the Council agencies. I'm sorry for this.

Go ahead.

We have the Commission for the Penalty. We have Charles Miller IV. The mandate expires on June 26th. Daniel Christensen and Randro Hammer. Both mandates expire on October 6th, 2026. And then they are all six-year mandates. This is under the project revision committee. And finally we have Demetri Carpenter and Autumn Sanders. Both have four-year mandates that expire on October 8, 2026 and are under the Committee for Arts and Parks.

Thank you very much. The consultants will pay attention to the next announcements of deferrals of councils and agencies and we will add them to the Committee of the Competent Council. Well, Mr. Secretary.

The agenda for the consent begins on page 2 with points 2, 3 and 4. On page 3, points 5, 6, 7 and 8 concern the consent. On page 4, points 9, 10, 11 and 12 are about the consent.

On page 8, point 24 is about the consent. And let's move on to page 20, points 25 and 27 are about the consent. Please note that points 26 and 27 are recommended by Public Safety page 21 points 28 29 30 concern the consent same thing for points 28 29 recommended by Public Safety page 22 points 31 33 34 concern the consent page 23 we have points 35 37 on the consent page 24 points 38 39 40 41 concern the consent Page 25, points 43, 44 and 45 concern the consent.

Page 26, points 46, 47 and 48 concern the consent.

And this concludes the resolution of the resolution. Councilors, at this moment there are points that you would like to remove or add to the consent. Councilor Smith, I would like to remove points 3 and 4, please.

In this moment we will examine a motion in the second for the points that will be taken into consideration for the consent.

Give me a second.

I pulled out the cannon.

The voting should start soon.

It should be ready.

Thank you. The points that were listed as consent have been approved. Now we will continue with the rest of the agenda for the points that require a review and a vote. Mr. Secretary, if you want to call...

An ordinance to examine an amendment to Title 1, Chapter 8, Article 2, Section 11c, Numbers 3, 3 up to 4 of the zoning ordinance of the city of Birmingham, Ordinance 15 and 133, as a modification that will ensure that the regulations of the city's anti-flood plan remain consistent with the requirements of the Community Rating System of the Federal Emergency Management and with the audience of our parties.

All right, thank you. Point number one, I recommend an ordinance to examine an amendment to Title 1, Chapter 8, and this concerns the zoning ordinance that guarantees that the anti-flood planning regulations of our city remain consistent. At this moment, since this is a public hearing, I give the floor to one of our co-presidents for planning and zoning, who will be the Councilor O'Quinn, who said that he will carry out his functions today.

Thank you, Madam President. This time we will listen to our staff behind the

Good morning, my name is Kim Sproul. I am responsible for zoning for the city and the engineering planning department. The topic that you are subjected to is a text modification. This will probably be the most simple text modification you will see throughout the year. It is literally a modification of a single word in the section relating to the superimposition of the areas subject to flooding of the zoning ordinance. If you have the link with you, we are just changing a word, instead of saying, oh, we are changing it to E. This means that these two conditions will both be required for our prefabricated houses and our recreational vehicles in an area subject to flooding, instead of giving them the opportunity to choose one of the two. We will be happy to answer any questions. regarding this modification to the text.

If I remember correctly, the modification and the section of the code refer specifically to the structures, right? And how they are fixed to a foundation.

It is specific for our prefabricated houses and our recreational vehicles in an area at risk of special flooding and requires that the house is raised by at least one foot compared to the base rate of the flood and that the prefabricated house is supported by reinforced pillars or other elements. So previously we had this or statement, but now we have to review it and make sure we are in line with our CRS program for the flood plan. This is a public hearing.

There are members of the public who want to talk about this topic, not seeing anyone. We will close the public hearing and I will leave the floor to you, ma'am.

Thank you very much, Dr. Alquim. And just for reference, councillors, in your allegation, it is the fifth page and it has only a red line that says, and I think this is the simplest, what have you ever seen? I will not say the easiest, but based on the fact that we had no one in favor or against the topic by the public, are we ready now? Unless there are no questions, are we ready to vote? Thank you very much. Point number 1 is approved and we will take note of such changes in the ordinance. Next point, please, sir.

Point number 3, a resolution relating to the request of Washington Media Group Incorporated for a sales license in detail of the Class 1 code to be used at P.Legendary 2206 Retriever Street, Hensley, Birmingham, Alabama 35208, in the presence of a motion of the party, please.

Thank you. Thank you. The third point was you asked to remove it. Counselor Smith. I withdrew this point because when it was presented to the neighborhood association, the neighborhood association rejected it and so I think we have a neighborhood representative who wanted to talk about it. This is not a public hearing for this point. So you are asking us, since it is a consent that we have withdrawn, that you would like to allow someone in the neighborhood to give a point of view on the point. If the council agrees. We need a motion for public hearing. Certainly. Thank you. We do not have the councilor Taito is not present today to conduct the hearing. So I will conduct the public hearing on this. Counselors, this concerns the question of the Washington Media Group and concerns a local license for the sale to the detail of alcoholics of class 1 to be used at P. Legendary. At this point we need a discussion on the topic by the administration. So at this point we will take into account any comments from the public on this topic. So if you are here to speak in favor or against this topic, if you want to come and line up on my right. Let's say that the gentlemen go first. If you come, tell us your name and address and if you want to tell us anything you would like to share on this topic. Mi chiamo Molly Branson e l'indirizzo dell'attività Mi chiamo Molly Branson e l'indirizzo dell'attività è 2206 31st Street, Birmingham, Alabama. L'orario di apertura sarà dalle 17 alle 12. Abbiamo incontrato l'associazione di quartiere e una delle preoccupazioni che avevano menzionato era il fastidio che poteva arrecare al quartiere. Quando definiamo fastidio, we examine the situation or activities or conditions that cause a continuous annoyance. However, according to what was stated by the police department of the city of Birmingham, there are no precedents of criminal activities, safety problems or accidents related to alcohol. The management has developed a very comprehensive safety plan We also got in touch with the city of Birmingham, Connect Birmingham, and we recorded our cameras with them. We understood some of the other concerns they had regarding the abandonment of waste and the presence of people in the open. We also addressed these concerns in our security plan that we developed. We have prepared a prevention plan for intrusion in the right of passage to ensure that no one was in the open at any time and that there were no obstacles. We are also in a particular position, which has been that type of structure for several years and, as I said before, has never had incidents. We can collaborate with the neighbours. We have a very valid reason. Abbiamo investito molto denaro per assicurarci di aver adottato tutti i protocolli di sicurezza per quanto riguarda le telecamere. I proprietari hanno fatto una verifica dei precedenti come richiesto dalla città. Oltre ad assicurarci di non avere alcuna affiliazione, di menzionare tale affiliazione con i precedenti proprietari. Non abbiamo alcuna affiliazione con lo... Non li conosciamo in base alle informazioni che abbiamo inviato. Lo mostreremo come prova. And I will continue to emphasize that we want to collaborate with our neighbors. We are not there to cause intrusion or security problems. I understand that security is a priority. That is why we devote a lot of time to collaborating with the forces of the local order to ensure that we have developed a very complete security plan. Thank you for allowing me to speak. Thank you very much. And we take into account that you are a requirer and that I represent a requirer.

The requirer was not able to speak.

Good morning everyone. Good morning. My name is David Eldridge. I am the vice president of Insul Island. I have been working there for several years.

This position in particular is right behind the Mississippi River. That restaurant is right there. The building behind is where you will find this waiting room in particular. In the past there were other or three waiting rooms there and they have become a nuisance for the neighborhood because there is a complex of apartments right in front of it. And we, as a neighborhood, think that with the city that has invested over 20 million dollars to bring the Family Life Center to CrossLex, this is not what we want to try to bring to our neighborhood. We also believe that this will create another environment of confusion, laughter, and once people leave that building, you will no longer have any control over them. If we have learned something from other commercial activities in our area, it is that once If they leave, you have no more control. There will be bottles down there. The air conditioning of the East of Mississippi has gone to pieces because someone put some bags in it. The owner of the East of Mississippi has spoken to him several times. He has complained several times. This would not be favorable to what we want to have in our neighborhood with the Family Life Center on the other side of the street. We have the license to sell alcohol in all the shops around. You can cross the street and find someone who sells beer and wine in that shop. We denied it. We denied this license, this activity, about four times over the years. So we ask you to follow us and deny this license there and this will help our neighborhood to continue to move forward. This is what we want to bring to our neighborhood. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Once again, we note that there were 16 participants, 10 opposites and 2 favourites. It was affirmed by the consultants, by some comments from the public and by the request for a license for the sale of alcoholics, reported by the President that most of the opposition was due to the fact that they consider it a fraud. At this point I would like to ask our lawyer King to remind us again how we deliberate on this and what we consider, according to the law of the state of Alabama, as an approval or denial of this type of request. Lawyer King. So, if you remember the Code of the State of Alabama, in 2816 there are seven provisions that must concern the approval or denial of a license for the sale of alcoholics, a license request. e cioè la creazione di circostanze di seccatura chiaramente dannose o che potrebbero influire negativamente sulla salute pubblica, sulla sicurezza e sul benessere dei quartieri residenziali adiacenti. Violazione delle restrizioni di zonizzazione applicabili. Un individuo che richiede la licenza ha una precedente condanna per uso di alcol o sostanze controllate. The proximity of the activity to a school or a kindergarten and the opening hours of the activity will create a dangerous environment for children. Traffic congestion and any other reason that represents a risk. Thank you for your advice. I just wanted to make sure there was clarity on this. Counselor Smith has other comments since he withdrew this topic. I just had a question. I know you mentioned the security plan and I was wondering if it had been shared with the neighborhood association. The evening of the meeting we shared with them the security plan. We even contacted them and said that we would have given them a personal phone number and a connection for the company to ensure that there were problems to be addressed immediately. We worked to make sure that there would not have been the withdrawal of the garbage. Everything they said was a problem before we addressed it in the security plan and we also talked about it with them. There was a meeting between the residents for a long time and we understand how they feel. There were old people, young residents for a long time. The two who voted were a little more progressive. We only asked them for an opportunity, a possibility to start an activity that, in our opinion, would not have been a nuisance to the community. The owners do not have previous penalties. There have not been calls from the police. There have not been incidents that we are aware of that have been recorded. Now, obviously, we take into account what they say has happened, but we have no control over this. We had no idea and it was not referred to the police department. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Other questions?

Or here? Is there any previous or connection between the current applicant and any previous activity managed in this seat? There is no affiliation.

This is really a question for the administration.

Confirm. Business conformity.

This is a new requirement, so it is not correlated. Other questions?

This time we are ready for voting. I think that's all.

Thank you.

Point number three approved. Point four, a resolution relating to the question of 3LUNA Catering Corporation for a license for special events, sales license in detail 140 to be used at the 2026 Way B Art Block Party, September 18, 2026, in the parking lot of 1280 Avenue South, at the corner between 12th Street and 10th Avenue South, with 13th Street South and 10th Avenue South. Thank you.

This is a resolution relating to the application of the sales license in detail for special events that will be used at the UAB artistic festivals of 2026. This point has been withdrawn from the consensus. Councilor Smith, I have only one request about this point. I just want to stop.

Stop me from this.

Thank you. Are there any other questions? At this point we will allow the vote. Thank you. At this point, point number 4 is approved. We will take our attention. Next point.

Thank you, councillors. We need a motion and a second to examine the names. At this point, Dr. Quinn, if you want to read the names for us. Yes, sir.

So we had a candidate for this position. It is a member resident representative at a certain time of the project revision committee. And this is to fill out a not expired mandate, left vacant by Gina Misham. The Committee for Planning and Zoning has interviewed the candidate and recommends Ezra Lee to fill this vacancy mandate, whose term will expire on 30 July 2027.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the name of Ezra Lee, the Committee has proposed to fill this undeclared mandate, this particular position of the Council, that has been made vacant and now must be filled. Are there any questions about the name that was presented to us to fill this place? Thank you, Doctor. At this point, we will vote. It's showing four on the screen.

All right, thank you.

Point 32 is approved. There are other points, Mr. Secretary?

No, ma'am.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At this point, we will take into account all the updates you have from your various districts. And Mr. Boasa wants to speak first today.

There will be two training sessions and you can contact our office for further information.

These are the announcements for District 7. We have our first neighborhood meeting for the month of September, which will take place on Friday at Jones Valley. Neighborhood Association, which will meet at 4 p.m. at the Pauli Library. The meeting of the Grassella Heights Neighborhood Association is scheduled for Monday, September 7. They will not meet this month. These are the following announcements for District 7, excuse me, District 9. The meeting of Wyoming. Neighborhood Association will take place this evening at 6 p.m. at the Wyoming Public Library. The Thomas Neighborhood Association meeting will be held this evening at 18.30 p.m. at the Greater St. Thomas Community Church. The Oipico-Finley Neighborhood Association meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 2 at 17.30 p.m. and will be held at the Oipico Plant Community Hall. The next meeting on public safety will be held on Tuesday, September 8 at 13 p.m. at the Council Hall. They ask you to send the points in the order of the day via email within Wednesday, that is tomorrow, September 2nd, within and no more than half a day to Greg Stanley and Shanti Litton. And as we have already heard, Labor Day is on Monday, so take note of the program published for the collection of waste for Labor Day. We also want to congratulate you with the Vasa advisor for your selection to the Birmingham guide and we are very excited for you and for those who have been part of it. We know that it is a very rigorous program, but it requires a lot of learning and therefore we want you to be sure to represent us to the best. So thank you very much. At this moment we would like to thank our officials in service. They were officials Pinker, Ingram, Wesley and Shelby. And our fire inspectors in service, Inspector Grizz and Inspector Shaw. Ministers, I would like to remind you that we have presented an argument that should be dealt with by us regarding an interlocal agreement that will require the meeting of the Commission 911, so we will probably hold the meeting of the Commission 911 immediately after the meeting of the Council next week, so we can discuss this topic before it is returned to us the next Tuesday.

I would also like to remind you that we will change the date of the meeting of the Committee of September.

So, instead of being the 13th, I think, it will be the 30th of September at 3 p.m. 30th of September. And this will be our new date. The 16th is the date it should have been. Thank you very much. But we will hold it on the 30th of September at 3 p.m. You will receive all this information, but I just wanted you to sign it on the calendar today.

At this moment, we will consider a suspension motion. Those who are in favor, please say yes.
