Executive Summary

The Economic Development & Tourism Committee will consider several liquor and business licensing matters, including beer and wine license transfers for Pike Road Market & Meats and One Stop Gas, a Class I retail liquor license for The Upper Deck 2.0 at 449 Valley Avenue, a special retail liquor license for Nikki's Event Center, and a towing license that would authorize United Towing & Transport to operate 13 wreckers on Birmingham streets. Also on the agenda is a proposed $300,000 budget reallocation to fund a new "Fit Check Incentive Program" aimed at attracting and retaining police officers, alongside three smaller traffic-calming budget shifts totaling roughly $14,700 for speed cushion installations in South Eastlake, Roebuck, and Killough Springs neighborhoods. The committee will also take up a LEHR Upfitters contract for emergency lighting equipment, $12,050 in fire department SCBA hydrostatic testing, and a resolution that would designate 136 properties as public nuisances due to noxious weed overgrowth. The agenda further includes 27 public safety items, 14 budget matters, 8 public works items, and 1 zoning hearing notice.
