The Rainsville City Council met this past Monday and addressed a potential new camera set to be installed within City Hall that has caused ripples within the local departments.
The Rainsville City Council on Monday held public hearings to discuss the rezoning of Ranch Road, Peaceful Acres subdivision and Britany Owens subdivision.
Mayor Rodger Lingerfelt said notices were sent out to adjoining land residents and opened the floor for discussion.
Housing partners John McCallie and Carlton W. Edwards of Scottsboro attended the hearing with an interest in the rezoning of Ranch Road from M-1 Industrial to R-3 Residential.
âWe have a contract to purchase this property and have requested the rezoning,â said McCallie. âOur purchase of the properties contingent with the Alabama Boys and Girls Sheriff Ranches.
He said they plan on building a âlittle bit more upper scale homesâ on larger size lots.
The Rainsville City Council on Monday night approved rescheduling the cityâs annual spring cleanup month to begin Friday, May 28 through Wednesday, June 30, 2021.
The council approved the purchase of five 20-yard dumpsters at the cost of $27,315.00 scheduled to be delivered around May 19.
As a result, Councilman Ricky Byrum suggested pushing forward their annual spring clean-up month to allow time for the new dumpsters to arrive. Following a brief discussion, the council unanimously approved the move to begin on May 28.
âWe use those for our clean-up,â he said. âWe have so many out right now I am not sure that we will have enough for the clean-up.â
