MAYOR’S COMMENTS

Mayor Frings advised the City is working with the Salvation Army to raise funds and other items for people on the Coast. A fund has been set up at AmSouth Bank through the Salvation Army for donations, just advise them it is for the &8221;Alabaster Katrina Relief Fund&8220;. The Police Department has also volunteered to do a &8221;bottled water drive: during this same time. Volunteers will be located at the Colonial Promenade Wal-Mart this Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. collecting money for the Salvation Army and bottled water or other goods that might be donated.

Mayor Frings said the proposed request for bid on the garbage contract has been handed out to the Council and he would like to have comments back so this item can be sent out in order to meet the scheduled expiration of the current contract.

Mayor Frings said also, on the same lines, everyone should have a copy of the proposed budget for 2006. Mayor Frings said he has received comment from several council members and we are trying to include those in the budget. If any member has questions or concerns they need to contact Tony Rivera or Mayor Frings this week so a proposed product can be back out to the Council next week. This will enable the Council to have a full week to look over the proposed budget so Mayor Frings can formally present it at the September 19 meeting since our new fiscal year starts October 1, or we will need to extend our current budget.

Mayor Frings said Shelby County

has called and requested that we allow them to hold their annual Shelby County Fair at Veteran’s Park this year. The Exhibition Hall at Columbiana is being used to house hurricane victims which will interfere with their set dates of September 19-25. Mayor Frings said Larry Vann advised that this would not conflict with any of our scheduled events.

Mayor Frings

said he received notification from ADEM that a public hearing has been set for the proposed quarry on Thursday, October 13, 6:30 p.m. at Thompson High School.

Mayor Frings said he would like to announce for the Friends of the Library that they have a pizza night at

Papa John’s Pizza on the second Tuesday of each month. They receive a portion of the proceeds for all the sales made on that night, which helps our Library.
