SPRINGVILLE Springville Mayor Dave Thomas proposed the purchase of the Crown Binder building in the historic district in downtown Springville during the June 7 meeting of the Springville City Council. The asking price for the property is $275,000.

Mayor Thomas presented an agreement to purchase the vacant building with the contingencies of a passed inspection and further approval from the council.
Thomas addressed concerns expressed by members of the council about the city getting in the real estate business and purchasing properties.
“Getting into the real estate business is not a fair accusation because we are not getting into the buying and selling. We’re getting into the acquisition. The buying and holding and preserving,” said Thomas. “If we’re going to preserve our historic buildings, we’re going to have to do something other than wish someone else did.”

SPRINGVILLE Mayor Dave Thomas discussed several pending issues with the Springville City Council during a work session at City Hall on Monday, Feb. 22, including a possible resolution in support of the jail in the neighboring city of Ashville.
The proposed resolution would mirror statements from Ashville and other St. Clair County communities in response to speculation about the potential closure of the jail facility in Ashville.
“It’s going to affect departments on the I-59 corridor. Argo, Springville, Ashville and Steele,” said Springville Police Chief Wayne Walton. “If Steele has to take someone to Pell City, they are gone for two hours. If we have to take someone, we’re looking at an hour and a half,” he said.

SPRINGVILLE The Springville City Council met for its final regular monthly meeting on Monday night, January 25 with a work session prior to the meeting. Most of the work session was dedicated to discussion of the proposed city budget. Springville is currently operating off the previous year’s budget numbers until the new budget is passed.
After a lengthy discussion about revenue projections and payroll estimates for new positions outlined in the proposal, the council removed the discussion of the budget from the regular meeting agenda and will consider it further at the February 1 meeting.
“I didn’t anticipate the push back on the budget,” said Mayor Dave Thomas, “we’ll get together, get our pencils sharpened and get something working.”
