Phenix City Council Meeting | April 21, 2026

The Phenix City Council meeting on April 21, 2026 included several procurement- and infrastructure-related actions. The council approved an emergency payment of $18,536.97 to Southern Rewind for repairs to two water-treatment flocculators, and authorized task order 2025-05 for water-filtration system design services not to exceed $26,000. It also approved wastewater-treatment work: installation of aeration-basin instrumentation for up to $9,766 (the vendor name is unclear in the transcript), and purchase of additional flow-monitoring parts and services for $9,525.40 plus installation by Brown and Sun LLC for up to $16,311.51. These resolutions passed by recorded votes, with members voting yes. The council also approved a resolution authorizing an application for the FY2025 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant; this authorizes an application, not an award, and no grant amount was stated.

The council approved participation in a nationwide opioid-settlement agreement, with funds subject to the agreement’s allocation and opioid-remediation requirements. It authorized demolition and clearance actions for 18 properties declared public nuisances, and approved notices and public hearings to fix demolition costs for three properties; the transcript lists Elite Hauling and Land Works estimates of $5,168, $3,323.50, and $2,856. The council also approved an off-premise wine license for Gas Express LLC, doing business as GX727. Discussion emphasized water and wastewater system upkeep, infrastructure investment, and enforcement of updated building codes; no broader procurement policy change was adopted.
