The council also considered a $900,000 accessibility improvement contract with A.G. Gaston Construction Co. at Rickwood Field, a $581,124 fleet purchase of twenty pickup trucks from Stivers Ford, payment for sixteen drone systems from Atlanta Drone Group Inc., acceptance of a FY 2025 State Homeland Security Grant, a federal grant application authorization, and a zoning code amendment under Case No. ZAC2025-0004.
