Anniston City Council Work Session | 10/20/26

The City of Anniston City Council work session on October 20, 2026, included a compliance update from a local tire business. The company described cleanup and fire-access improvements, mosquito-control measures, added staff, and purchases of tire-cutting equipment, and acknowledged that its sites remain out of compliance with city requirements. Council members raised concerns about neighborhood impacts and requested continued progress; the company said it would return with updates. These were business actions, not city procurement decisions.

Council discussed a proposed FY27 budget amendment and the intent to reimburse road and bridge improvement expenditures from future tax-exempt financing. The proposed professional services agreement with Williams and Jensen for state lobbying and an amendment to the city’s waste collection agreement with 121 Disposal were moved from the consent agenda to standalone resolutions. The waste amendment would charge customers $8.50 for bulk pickup and express intent to extend the contract by three years; council members raised service-performance concerns. The transcript does not record a vote or final approval on these items.
