SILVERHILL, Ala. — The Silverhill Town Council made short work of a lengthy agenda at its regular meeting Monday.

Several items were carried over from the Council’s June 15 meeting, at which Council members were unable to vote on items because there were not enough members to have a quorum.

Law requires voting bodies to have a majority of voting members present to be able to vote on items. For the six-member Council, at least four members are required to be present to have a quorum. Only three members of the Council were present at the June 15 meeting.

All members of the council were present at Monday’s meeting, including Mayor Tim Wilson and Council members jared Lyles, Bert Jones, Steve Brooks, Shirley Stephens and Rodney Criswell.

After approving the minutes from both the June 15 work session and June 1 meeting, and approving accounts payable, the council’s first order of business was to approve the adoption of Ordinance No. 389 to establish wrecker rotation requirements.

Under the terms of the ordinance, the town operates under a two-tier system for wrecker rotation.

The first rotation includes all qualifying wrecker services with the town’s police jurisdiction. The second rotation includes qualifying wrecker services within a 10-mile radius of the town.

Wrecker services qualify by being able to respond in a timely manner when called. Failure to respond in a timely manner could result in removal from the rotation, according to the Ordinance.

The measure passed unanimously during Monday’s meeting.

In other business the council voted to pay for Council members and all town employees to attend the Central Baldwin Chamber of Commerce’s Flavors of the South event Thursday, July 23 at the Baldwin County Coliseum in Robertsdale. Council member Jared Lyles, who made the motion, also asked that Bonnie McNeil, who recently retired as town clerk, but continues to serve with the town, also be provided a ticket to the event, paid for by the town.

The measure passed unanimously.

The Council also voted 5-1 to allow volunteer members of the town’s Planning Board and Board of Adjustments to attend the event. Council member Shirley Stephens voted against the measure.

The individual Council members and employees would have to pay for spouses to attend the event at a cost of $25 each.

The council also voted unanimously to approve a new cell phone package and phones with Sprint.

The package will include three air cards with internet access to be used by the town’s Police Department.

Joe Wilson, a representative with Sprint, said under the new package, even with the additional internet access cards, would save the town about $50 per month.

The package would include eight phones and 2,800 peak-time minutes that would be shared among the eight users. That would not include free night and weekend minutes and free mobile-to-mobile calling, which would include anyone on Sprint’s network, not just town employees.

In other business Monday the council:

— Approved a debris removal contract for the 2009 storm season.

— Voted to allow Superintendent of Utilities Steve Williams to place surplus items on a government website for sale.

— Approved the use of Oscar Johnson park for a wedding in September, but did not approve a request for pressure washing the restrooms and the pavilion because of concerns that the pressure washing could cause damage to the structures.

— Approved a request to send Court Clerk Amy Macon to a one-day seminar in Hoover at a cost of $200.

— Approved a request to place a plaque in memory of Elsie Chandler in front of the former People’s Supply Building. Chandler, who died June 14 at age 99, ran the local landmark with her husband and served as the town’s librarian for over 30 years.

— Approved Resolution 420 which would allow the town to apply for a $500,000 FEMA grant which would be used for improvements to the town’s drainage system. The grant would be a 75-25 matching grant, which means the town would have to raise $125,000. The town would have to get state and county funding to help pay for the match. Mayor Tim Wilson said he was told that if the town could not raise the matching funds, there would be no penalty for returning the grant funds.
