Executive Summary
The Birmingham City Council considered granting broadband franchise agreements to Farmers Telecommunications Corporation and MCI Communications Services, LLC — allowing both companies to install and operate fiber optic and broadband infrastructure within city rights-of-way — and voted on a project agreement with Carver Jones Market, LLC to be signed by the Mayor. The council also took up several zoning map amendments that would reclassify properties from downtown mixed-use (QMU-D) and medium-density residential (QD-4) districts to new designations, though the specific destination zones were not detailed. Additionally, the council considered 21 resolutions declaring various buildings across the city unsafe and ordering their demolition, along with 38 public safety consent items, 8 budget items, and other routine matters.
