The Mobile City Council on Jan. 2 completed a series of votes and routine approvals, including appointment confirmations, contract authorizations, purchase orders and CIP change orders. Many items were introduced and then laid over under council rules for further consideration; others were approved by voice vote.

Key actions recorded on the meeting transcript include approvals of CIP work at Westside Park, a contract for lighting improvements, multiple purchase orders for equipment and maintenance, several administrative appointments and licenses recommended to the ABC board. The council also approved a waiver of the noise ordinance for an event on Jan. 4 on Saint Francis Street and approved minutes of the Dec. 17 meeting.

Votes recorded on the transcript were generally voice votes without roll-call tallies. Where the transcript noted a second reading or a hold, the item was carried according to council rules for later consideration. Several consent resolutions covering appointments, grant applications and ABC license recommendations were approved en bloc.

Notable items listed on the agenda and affected by council action or referral:
- CIP: Change order No. 2 to Martin Smith for asphalt work at Westside Park (131247); contract with Jaguar Consulting for Westside Park ballfield and parking lighting improvements (211248).

Several resolutions were explicitly held over for one week under council rules (CFP resolutions 08010 through 13011 and other items), and a number of consent agenda resolutions (03001–6009) were adopted at the meeting by voice vote.

The meeting transcript records passage of these items largely by voice vote; detailed roll-call tallies were not recorded for most individual resolutions in the public transcript.
