The Talladega City Council approved Resolution 64-46 during its meeting, authorizing an agreement with Holiday Lights and Designs to lease Christmas decorations per the bid specifications. The resolution passed by unanimous roll call.
The measure matters because it contracts for seasonal decorations that the city will display on public property during the coming holiday season. Council members also raised a related procurement question about whether the agreement covered a Christmas tree purchase; staff said the tree was not included in the resolution and that the council could address that purchase at the next meeting.
During the roll call, each council member recorded an "aye," including Councilman Dickerson, Councilman Denny, Councilmember Spratland, Council President Sims and Councilmember Hall, resulting in formal approval. No amendments to the resolution were recorded in the meeting transcript.
There was no formal vote recorded on the separate tree purchase; council members and staff agreed to postpone action on buying a tree until a subsequent meeting, when the purchase and any related funding would be addressed. The agreement with Holiday Lights and Designs will proceed as approved by Resolution 64-46 unless council later amends that decision.
The council did not attach additional budget details or line-item amounts to the resolution on the record at this meeting; those financial specifics were not specified in the transcript.
