At its Jan. 9 meeting, the council accepted the resignation of Chris St. Clair, who has served on the council from Oct. 2000 to the present.
St. Clair noted that he was leaving for personal reasons.
“We hate to see Chris go, and we wish him well,” said Mayor Bill Glenn. “We appreciate his all of his work over the years.”
The council must fill the vacant council seat within 60 days. If the vacancy is not filled during that time, each existing council member may submit a name to the governor for consideration. If the governor fails to make an appointment within 90 days after the vacancy occurs, the judge of probate shall call a special election to fill the vacancy.
Glenn asked each council member to bring names of potential candidates for consideration at the February meeting.
In other business, town attorney Dean Buttram, Jr., conducted the first reading of a proposed warrant for the council to contribute $2,500 annually (not to exceed $50,000) to the Gadsden State-Cherokee County Campus School of Nursing/Community Center project.
The council also voted to accept AlaTax as the municipality’s license fee collector, as well as agreeing to donate $300 to the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce.
The council voted to pay $195 plus expenses for an upcoming clerk training workshop for Town Clerk Melonie Garrett, as well as agreeing to purchase a 132.62 advertisement in the Cherokee County Herald’s upcoming 2006 Review and Forecast edition.
Before adjournment, Glenn said that a new local business, Valley St. Antiques, would be opening soon
