City Council Meeting - October 12, 2026

Hoover City Council meeting, October 12, 2026: The council approved the consent agenda, including a master services purchasing agreement with Axon Enterprises, the second and final one-year renewal of a bid for correctional-facility food services, and a resolution related to change order No. 6 for the NCFI addition project. It also approved a five-year lease renewal with Harden Properties for the Hoover Police Department’s Bluff Park substation. The council discussed a separate NCFI addition change-order request for $116,473.31 tied to a 44-day time extension and potential contractor overhead; officials described it as a maximum allowance payable only if needed and discussed documentation and inspection oversight. The transcript does not capture a vote on that item.

The council approved the bid award to Constant General Contractors for reconstruction of the Hoover Lakehouse. The presentation described a committed project total of about $926,000, including roughly $108,000 in contingency, with funding from previously allocated funds, $500,000 in the current-year budget, and a $30,000 quality-of-life grant. The city declined a cable-railing alternate that would have added more than $68,000, opting for wooden railing. The award passed despite one ‘nay’ vote. Other procurement-related consent items included a fire personnel standards and education commission MOU and FEMA project-completion certification for the Riverchase No. 1 force-main replacement. Several business-license ordinance amendments were introduced for first readings, with no action taken at this meeting.
