# City Council Work Session - November 5, 2026

Hoover City Council work session, November 5, 2026: Members reviewed several resolutions scheduled for further action, including renewal of the city’s property-and-casualty claims-handling contract with Davies Claims Solutions through June 30, 2028. The 20-month renewal would cost $800 more than the expiring term, an increase already included in the approved FY2027 budget. The council also discussed a 90-day extension of bid 24-011 for custom imprinted apparel and accessories with Copri Signs and Graphics while the city prepares to rebid the work, and an annual $16,085 preventive-maintenance agreement with Wilco Products Company for Hoover City Jail doors and gates. No votes were taken during the work session.

Other financial items included a proposed early redemption of $4.49 million in remaining 2016 general obligation warrants, which staff estimated would produce net interest savings of about $20,000, and acceptance of $75,000 from the Alabama Department of Tourism for 2027 SEC Baseball Tournament expenses and a $20,000 Jefferson County grant supporting the Hoover Senior Center. The council also reviewed proposed conditional-use approvals for a climate-controlled storage facility and a private school, along with related site, safety, and traffic conditions. These were discussions ahead of the regular meeting; no procurement awards or votes were recorded in the transcript.
