The Mobile City Council took a series of routine votes and motions during its Nov. 12 meeting.

Key outcomes: the council approved the Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 minutes and adopted the meeting agenda by voice vote. The council granted appeals to waive the noise ordinance for events on Nov. 22 at Tricentennial Park and Dec. 13 on Airport Boulevard. Members moved to waive the rules to permit additional public speakers during the Acadian Ambulance public hearing and that motion carried.

Consent and action items: the council moved to waive rules for immediate consideration of multiple consent resolutions and approved a bundle of appointments and procurement items. Among the items referenced were appointments to the Human Relations Commission (Jerry Williams) and reappointment to the Board of Adjustment (Jeremy Milling), an Alabama Department of Transportation grant application for the Airbus Distribution Center Industrial Access Project (no local match required), and a purchase order for replacement fire turnout gear and Mardi Gras supplies. Several items were explicitly laid over for one week for final review, including some CIP items and ordinances.

Holdovers and next steps: The Acadian certificate item will return to council after one week; other ordinances (for example, Chapter 52 property maintenance and a vacant-structure registry for Henry Aaron Loop) were held over to allow line-by-line review and final amendment.
