Montgomery City Council Meeting (November 3, 2026)

The Montgomery City Council’s November 3, 2026 meeting included several infrastructure and spending matters. The mayor announced a $13.4 million U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets award for replacing 741 aging interstate light fixtures with more than 1,000 energy-efficient LEDs and adding wireless outage monitoring along corridors including the I-65/I-85 interchange. The council unanimously approved demolition contracts with JB Waste Connections for $52,400 and an additional $192,400, and approved an agreement with ALDOT for traffic-signal upgrades and congestion management on Atlanta Highway from West Eagle Drive to Taylor Road. The mayor also announced a communications engagement, but the transcript provides no vendor or dollar amount. Council members discussed a city-county sheriff’s office arrangement for peak-hour crash response, with questions about coverage times and supporting data; a final action on that agreement is not clear in the transcript.

Other business included debate over leaf-and-limb collection enforcement and equipment needs, though the final action is unclear in the transcript. A healthcare authority resolution was adopted by a 6–3 vote after discussion of setup costs and possible future funding sources. The council carried over a proposed rezoning of approximately 125 acres amid questions about industrial development and potential impacts, while other zoning matters and a restaurant liquor-license application were heard; the liquor-license application was denied unanimously. No contract award or procurement amount was identified for the communications engagement or sheriff’s office arrangement.
