The city of Decatur has only two workers in its Revenue Department after losing the office’s two most senior employees in late April following disciplinary actions that led the manager to retire early and the tax and license auditor to quit.
Sal Jasso’s retirement as manager takes effect July 1, but he is using vacation time until then that otherwise would have been cashed out at his retirement. Julia Wells, former tax and license auditor, submitted a resignation letter April 27 that said she was leaving “due to a hostile work environment,” according to documents obtained by The Decatur Daily through a public records request.

Implementing a plan to improve the entrance into Decatur along Sixth Avenue will cost $5 million to $6 million, Decatur officials said, and they expect details of the plan to be unveiled early in 2021.
Those involved with the plan to beautify Sixth Avenue from the Hudson Memorial Bridge to Delano Park met in a video conference Wednesday with consultant Volkert Inc., which estimated the cost of the project.
Their goal is to improve this city entrance from the north so itâs more inviting to visitors and developers.
Birmingham-based Volkert is receiving $100,000, funded primarily by the Alabama Department of Transportation, to do the streetscape study and create a plan.
