# Budget and Finance Committee Meeting 10.26.26

The Birmingham City Council Budget and Finance Committee meeting (October 26, 2026, per the meeting title) approved a $75,000 FY2027 renewal for Birmingham Corps to provide career coaching and workforce training, with plans to strengthen employer partnerships. The committee also approved an application for an Alabama DOT ATRIP grant to redesign a section of US 78 for safer traffic movements and improved access, and discussed a Jefferson County interlocal road-maintenance agreement capped at $96,616.31 over no more than three years. The transcript does not state the grant request amount. Two affordable-housing agreements under the Magic City Champions program were considered together, providing forgivable HOME loans of up to $100,000 each to Renew Birmingham and Titusville Development Corporation; the committee approved both. The agreements support rehabilitation or development of homes for low- to moderate-income residents.

A proposed three-year Municipal Court contract with Versaterm Public Safety, capped at $246,381.26, was held over so committee members could receive answers from Information Management Services. The committee also discussed a Canam Technologies amendment to integrate the city’s Teller payment portal with Gtechna’s command-center platform; the additional compensation figure is garbled in the transcript, and its vote is not captured. A $43,500 stormwater-education agreement with the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation Foundation was presented, but the transcript ends before its vote outcome is clear. The committee approved its consent agenda, though the transcript does not identify all included items; items 31 and 33 were withdrawn.
