Present were Council President Lonnie L. Mixon, Councilmembers: Debbie W. Quinn, Daniel Stankoski, Michael A. Ford, and Rick Kingrea, Mayor Timothy M. Kant, City Attorney Marion E. Wynne, and City Clerk Lisa A. Hanks. There being a quorum present, Council President Mixon called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Deacon Hank O'Brien, St. Lawrence Catholic Church, and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Council President Mixon asked if there were any corrections to the minutes from the 10 May 2010, regular meeting. Councilmember Quinn stated she had one amendment: "that the Recreation Board needed some diversity." Council President Mixon then stated if there are no other corrections, the minutes stand approved as amended. Council President Mixon then asked if there were any corrections to the minutes from the 17 May 2010, work session. He then stated if there are no corrections, the minutes stand approved as written. Council President Mixon announced that they needed to amend the agenda by adding on the following items: motion to go into executive session, request to hire Slaughter Construction Company, Inc. to repair leaks around Three Incoming Pipes in Manhole on North Creek Circle Cul-de-Sac, Fee Waiver Requests from Mobile Baykeepers for the Grandman Triathlon, Eastern Shore Honda for Bicycle Fun Ride, Bayshore Ballet, and Jitterbug Theatre for presentation of "Willy Wonka." Councilmember Quinn moved to address the above mentioned items not on the printed agenda. Seconded by Councilmember Kingrea, motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Councilmember Kingrea addressed the City Council and stated he would be bringing up "Where Do We Stand" at each meeting. First, he thanked Ken Eslava and Mayor Kant for a great job of handling the Oil Spill Crisis. He said the City owes them both a debt of thanks. Then, Councilmember Kingrea addressed the following issues: 1) Boat still docked at the Yacht Club. Mayor Kant stated we are waiting on ADECA to move and it was on Ed Walsh's property. 5369 24 May 2010 2) Traffic Controls at Oak and Section Street. Councilmember Kingrea said the approximate cost for painting is $500 and shaving the corner would be around $23,000. Mayor Kant replied that Ms. Fidler would now have time to devote her attention to downtown. 3) Ms. Burns has asked about the paving of Bancroft and Morphy. Mayor Kant replied that the paving of streets would be in the next budget cycle. 4) Nichols Street Deck. City Attorney Wynne stated he was still looking into the issue. He asked permission for Chris Gill to help sort out the issue. 5) Painting beds with luminary paint. Mayor Kant replied he would look into this with Jennifer Fidler. 6) Annexations and study being done. Mayor Kant replied that with Cities less than 25,000 citizens there are only a couple of types of annexation allowed. The Planning Department is still working on this issue. Mayor Kant addressed the City Council on the following items: 1) Treasury Ordinance: on August 5t' I met with Council President Mixon and Nancy Wilson. On August 61h, we transferred monies to Compass Bank. Colonial Bank was changing the lock box payments remittance to North Carolina. At that time Mayor Kant stated he told the City Treasurer to move the lock box to Compass Bank located in Fairhope; and we have a letter from Compass stating we would not be charged. Mayor Kant stated the City Treasurer should not report to a non- elected official. 2) Police Escorts Resolution: This is an on -going saga. It was first stated to be done as an ordinance. The liability issues for police escorts will have no effect on our premium. The National League of Cities trend is to do away with escorts. The South is not in that trend. Larger metro areas are getting away with this, but I spoke with the Mayor from Prattville and they purchased motorcycles to continue with escorts. Mayor Kant said the resolution will be voted on and I am asking the Council to layover until the next meeting. Council President Mixon reminded the audience that the council is always available to speak to civic groups, POA associations; etc. and folks can call the Clerk's office to schedule a time with the council. Councilmember Stankoski announced that May 9, 2010 thru May 15, 2010 was National Police Week and he thanked our men and women who are in the Police Department. He then went on to state that the City of Fairhope has several main issues in his opinion to deal with: public safety is number one, cultural education, and when funds are available use of City facilities. Councilmember Stankoski said that Debbie Quinn, Sherry Sullivan, and he have been looking at a resolution regarding the waiver of user fees. Over the last year, we have waived approximately $32,500 for the Civic Center and Nix Center, $21,300 for the parks and streets, and $6,400 for golf for a total of $60,200 waived. The resolution would enact a fifty (50) percent reduction in fee waivers. We also have approximately $15,000 used for escorts and $4,500 for tap fees for a grand total of approximately $80,000 waivers. 5370 24 May 2010 We need to review all aspects of spending. We have major issues that are needed such as our sewer plant upgrade and street paving. He went on to say "it is hard to say no. But, we must say no. You should see where your tax money is going." City Administrator Gregg Mims addressed the City Council and briefly went over the detailed list of money saving issues. He mentioned the City had approximately 96 personal printers and how high the cost to maintain each was, such as the printer cartridges. Mr. Mims said he thinks these can be reduced to around 20 printers which could save $45,000 on printer supplies. Another issue mentioned was the security gate at the warehouse and we have had the same keys for 30 over years. Mr. Mims requested permission for the City of Fairhope to prepare Request for Bid Proposals (RFPs) for Custodial Services, Fleet Maintenance, Sales Tax Collection, and to hire a Firm or Firms to help with Collection of Outstanding Fines and Utility Fees. After further discussion, Councilmember Ford moved to grant the request for the City of Fairhope to prepare RFPs for the above mentioned items and to hire a firm or firms to help with collections of outstanding fines and utility fees. Seconded by Councilmember Stankoski, motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Councilmember Stankoski moved to authorize the City of Fairhope to hire Slaughter Construction Company, Inc. to repair leaks around three incoming pipes in the manhole on North Creek Circle cul-de-sac in Rock Creek. Seconded by Councilmember Kingrea, motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Councilmember Stankoski moved to deny waiving fees for Mobile Bay Keepers for $1500, Eastern Shore Toyota for $150, Bay Shore Ballet for $2399, and Jitterbug Theatre for $4250. The fee waivers were for use or intended use of the parks, streets, and Civic Center. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Ford. Erin Reimer from Mobile Baykeeper addressed the City Council and stated two-thirds of the participants are out of state, this is our largest fund raiser, 37 states were represented, and 100 rooms were rented in Fairhope. We contribute to the Gulf Coast Trailblazers, Gulf Coast Triathlons, Camp Rap -a -Hope, and the Mobile Baykeeper. After further discussion, motion failed by the following voice votes: AYE — Stankoski. NAY — Quinn, Mixon, Ford, and Kingrea.

The cost will be approximately $13,020.00. Adopted on this 241h day of May 2010 Attest: isa A. auks, ity Clerk Councilmember Kingrea introduced in writing, and moved for the adoption of the following resolution, a resolution that the City of Fairhope will not provide police escorts by the Fairhope Police Department for funerals, except in the case of firefighters, police officers, and citizens of Fairhope on active military duty who are killed in the line of duty. Councilmember Stankoski seconded the motion. Councilmember Quinn stated last year we hired Bill Press as Chief of Police. The Mayor told him to be the best Chief in Fairhope, Alabama. She also stated the Mayor did not need to micro manage the Department Heads. The Police Department will use two cars to get the funeral out. 5376 24 May 2010 Councilmember Ford stated the Mayor gave a directive and someone says I'm not going to do this. If all the Department Heads refused directives, we would have a mess. He also stated that last week he saw an escorted funeral procession and you could see both ways; and this is a safety issue. Councilmember Ford said we will have a few accidents now. If 60 cars are in a process and must stop at each traffic light, other cars will pull into procession. You say we cannot subsidize a funeral home, but look at all we did for downtown merchants. The escorts are the last bit of respect for citizens and I am against stopping escorts. Councilmember Kingrea replied a subsidy is not when we make Fairhope what it is like; such as planting trees in downtown. The Police Chief, City Attorney, and the Alabama League of Municipalities all stated this is a public safety issue and is not good. Councilmember Kingrea stated he believes it is a subsidy and not double taxation. He said we have spent three hours in the last few weeks cutting costs. Councilmember Ford said we helped the downtown area with flowers. Greeno Road merchants said we subsidized downtown. He said Roger Owens and others at the League said they were misquoted in the newspaper. We are talking about $12,000. Councilmember Stankoski replied we took away $30,000 from the Fire Department for a training building. He spoke with others who just say they want to get from Point A to Point B. We have received legal opinions and saying "we have always done it that way" is not correct. After further discussion, motion passed by the following voice votes: AYE — Quinn, Stankoski, Mixon, and Kingrea. NAY — Ford. RESOLUTION NO. 1649-10 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA, that the City of Fairhope will not provide police escorts by the Fairhope Police Department for funerals, except in the case of firefighters, police officers, and citizens of Fairhope on active military duty who are killed in the line of duty.

He stated there were three items he wanted to dicuss: 1) He does not agree with Kingrea, it is not a subsidy; no fee will be passed on to citizens. 2) There are no reports of a single accident in the past 60 years and agreed with Ford on being an accident issue if escorts are stopped. 3) He was not sure about change in safety side; important issue. Willie Williams mentioned to me about a funeral with a hazard situation recently. Mr. Crosby also addressed Councilmember Quinn stating he was not sure where they were in the compromise. We need to be involved in the final drafting of the final document. Willie Williams, 17420 Confederate Rest Road, addressed the City Council and mentioned his uncle, Alphonse Payne, who recently passed away. The funeral was handled through the City of Mobile and did not have an escort. It was a mess and hazard. To not provide escorts is very disrespectful to people. This is not a subsidy; it is a service. We need to have the utmost respect for our seniority. This is a community service and Mr. Williams asked the City Council to reconsider their motion. Gary Wolfe, owner of the only funeral home in Fairhope, thanked Mayor Kant and Councilmember Ford for their support. He stated you passed the resolution and this stopped funeral escorts beginning tomorrow. Mr. Wolfe said he was sorry for getting into this squabble between the Mayor and Council. Councilmember Quinn asked Chief Press about the letter he sent stating there would be an officer at the front and end of the funeral procession. Chief Press replied the resolution nullifies this part of the letter and went on to say we did not have any manpower with escorts. Chief Press said he would give a two -week grace period for what we have been doing. Council President told Chief Press you have the resolution in place and can do what you would like at this time. Chief Press stated he left his family and friends when he took this job. He said I have a house here in Fairhope and do not intend to leave. Public safety comes first and foremost. 5384 24 May 2010 Mr. Wolfe said it was not in his power to make someone pay the $250 for an escort. There are a lot of families that will not pay for an escort.
