Cullman City Council Working Session | April 20, 2026

The City of Cullman, Alabama City Council held a working session on April 20, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. The council reviewed updates on equipment purchases for the street department, including considerations about retaining an older machine due to low trade-in value, with confirmation that these expenditures were within the existing budget and did not require formal council action. Additionally, the council considered approval of a special event permit for a mental health awareness resource fair, pending facility availability and mayoral approval. Several resolutions were introduced for council consideration, including the annual audit adoption, approval of an economic development agreement with Rural King, new job descriptions for the fire rescue and IT departments, and the reappointment of the city attorney. The council also discussed strategic planning initiated by the planning commission and ongoing coordination for infrastructure projects, such as street paving aligned with sewer repairs funded by a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
