FOLEY, Ala. — Should Foley City Council decide next month to close out two part-time positions and seven full-time positions in the city workforce, approximately $360,000 would be saved.

But Mayor John Koniar is hoping some of those who might potentially lose their jobs can be relocated within the city.

Koniar announced at Monday’s city council meeting that he and the council will meet next month to consider amending the current city budget and look at job reductions.

Following the council meeting, Koniar said final figures regarding budget numbers and potential job losses won’t be known until after the council has deliberated next month. He did say budget revenues have been revised down to date by $1.4 million and budget expenses revised down by over $3 million, creating what he said was a “surplus” in that regard.

“We will have a surplus but we want to stay ahead of it,” he said.

In other council action, a resolution was approved for a land sale in the Industrial Park area that the mayor said could potentially bring as many as 50 jobs to the area.

With Foley Police Department recommendations, the council agreed to approve a Retail Beer (On and Off Premises) license for Central Taqueria LLC at 1508 S. McKenzie St., and a Special Retail for Spe Go Holdings Inc. under the trade name Glenlakes Golf Club at 9530 Clubhouse Dr.
