Homewood Pre-Council Meeting - June 22, 2026

The City of Homewood held a pre-council meeting on June 22, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed. Key topics included a request for a budget transfer related to a waterworks project, a rezoning request for a property to align with neighborhood preservation standards, and a traffic safety improvement proposal involving yield signs and striping at a local intersection. A significant discussion focused on the city's commitment to fund its portion of a US 31 A-trip infrastructure project, with a required city contribution of approximately $1.36 million, representing 20% of the project cost, and the need for an additional budget transfer to cover this amount. The council also reviewed a request to execute a contract with Southeastern Steel Coating for $579,378 to renovate the parking lot at 185 Oxmore Road, confirming the project is within the existing budget and expected to take about 60 working days. Other agenda items included a moratorium on data center applications to allow for comprehensive planning and a request to declare certain vehicles and furniture surplus. Several items were scheduled for future council consideration, including public hearings and ordinance approvals.
