Anniston city council addresses traffic, forms screening committee, approves purchases
Wednesday, January 9, 2013
ANNISTON, Ala - The Anniston City Council met Tuesday night to unanimously approve several ordinances and resolutions, including changing an east Anniston intersection from a four-way stop to a two-way stop.
A lengthy change to the city’s ordinance codes removed the four-way stop from the intersection of East 7th Street and Highland Avenue and replaced it with a two-way stop.
The council also approved the acquisition of Monsanto Road west of downtown. The acquisition from the county will give Anniston the access to the Coldwater Mountain Bike Trail.
A Citizens’ Advisory Consultant Screening Committee was also formed by the city council at Tuesday evening’s meeting. The five-person committee will be tasked with narrowing a field of city planning consultants from which the city council will select. Mayor Vaughn Stewart said the committee will be dissolved after 90 days.
The council approved two individual bids for pickup trucks from Sunny King. The city will purchase one super cab truck and one crew cab truck from the Anniston car dealer for nearly $45,000.
Some discussion was held between councilmembers and city officials concerning a motion to place a street light on a dead end street in a Golden Springs neighborhood. Councilman David Reddick asked to simply table the motion until more information about the area was available but the council decided to deny the motion for a street light at the end of Franklin Drive. Public Works director Bob Dean told the council that the city currently pays roughly $425,000 annually for street lights throughout the city.
