Executive Summary

The Birmingham City Council considered a significant citywide zoning action that would amend the district map to change zone boundaries across the entire Eastern Framework Plan area, alongside a separately scheduled June 2 public hearing to rezone a specific R-6 (Multiple Dwelling) property. The council also weighed authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with Vulcan Park Foundation, Inc., approve the city's participation in a settlement related to Associated Pharmacies involving six remnant defendants, and award a contract to Fifth Asset, Inc. (DBA Debtbook) for debt and lease management software and consulting services. The council also took up 10 budget items, 4 contracts, 4 public safety matters, and other routine consent business.
