Executive Summary

Birmingham City Council considered a $7.5 million General Fund appropriation for fiscal year 2026 — covering $4.5 million in district funding, $1 million for a stormwater master plan, and $2 million for sidewalk improvements — alongside a $3.2 million grant appropriation for a Greenway and Road Diet project on Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard. The council also weighed a sweeping zoning district map amendment for the entire Northside-Southside Framework Plan area, a new paid mental health leave benefit for full-time city employees, and scheduled public hearings on additional zoning changes and industrial landfill district rezonings. The council further considered authorizing an amended agreement with Own It Property Solutions LLC (up to $524,420), agreements with the Birmingham Public Library Board and Kid One Transport, emergency vehicle fleet upfitting through ProLogic ITS, and 28 building demolition orders for unsafe structures across the city. The council also handled 27 public safety consent items, 8 routine contracts, 8 budget items, and a number of other recurring administrative matters.
