Executive Summary

The Birmingham City Council considered authorizing the Mayor to pursue civil litigation related to California's SB330 housing legislation, including hiring attorney Calvin Grigsby on a professional services agreement to handle those claims. The council also considered zoning ordinance amendments affecting automated car wash facilities and temporary parking lots as special exception uses, approved a drone fleet acquisition from Atlanta Drone Group Inc., revoked Northstar EMS, Inc.'s accessible vehicle service certificates for failure to maintain required insurance, and weighed a $1.8 million budget transfer from the Fire Capital Outlay fund to Non-Departmental capital improvements. The council also took up 14 building demolition orders for unsafe structures across the city, and handled 37 routine items spanning public safety, budget, contracts, and other consent matters.
