MINUTES OF A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TALLASSEE, ALABAMA
JULY 16, 2024
The Mayor and City Council of the City of Tallassee convened in a special called meeting at 5:00 p.m. on July 16, 2024 at the Tallassee Municipal Complex. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Hill and the following were recorded as present:
Mayor Sarah Hill
Council Members Jeremy Taunton
Damian Carr
Bill Hall
Terrel Brown
Bill Godwin
Fred Randall Hughey
John Smith was present as city attorney and acted as secretary for the meeting in the absence of City Clerk Whitney Pitchford.
The sole order of business on the agenda was to consider a floodplain development ordinance to update the similar ordinance passed by the City Council in 2021. This ordinance is required by ADECA and FEMA because parts of the city limits lie in floodplains of the Tallapoosa River and its tributaries. Councilmember Taunton made a motion to suspend the rules which was seconded by Councilmember Godwin. A roll call vote was taken with all councilmembers and Mayor Hill voting in favor of the rules being suspended. Upon the rules being suspended, Councilmember Godwin, seconded by Councilmember Carr, moved to adopt the ordinance. Upon a vote, the ordinance was approved unanimously.
There being no further business before the council, and upon motion by Councilmember Taunton and a second by Councilmember Hall, all councilmembers and the mayor voted to adjourn the meeting.
