SILVERHILL, Ala. — The Silverhill Town Council met briefly Monday for its first meeting in February at the Silverhill Town Hall.

The Council approved two agenda items and one additional item Monday in a meeting that lasted just over 30 minutes.

The Council voted to approve a donation of $150 to provide t-shirts for the Special Olympics team from Central Baldwin Middle School.

Nicey Jones with the special education department at CBMS, told Council members Monday the donation would provide 10 adult and 10 children’s t-shirts for CBMS to participate in the annual Special Olympics event, which will be held April 1 in Fairhope.

The measure was approved unanimously with Mayor Tim Wilson, and Council members Jared Lyles, Steve Brooks, Shirley Stephens and Wayne Gruenloh voting for the measure. Council member Bert Jones abstained from voting.

In other business, the council approved a measure for stump removal in town.

Superintendent of Utilities Steve Williams said he received three quotes for stump removal. Two bids came in around $2,000, while one, from A-1 Stump Removal in Gulf Shores, was $1,800.

Council members voted unanimously to accept the bid from A-1, which will be billed out as the work is done.

Williams said the town had used A-1 before and there had not been any problems with the work provided.

Williams also addressed the council about the purchase of tires and mower blades for the town’s lawn mower, rear tires for the town’s back hoe and front tires for the town’s 4-wheel drive tractor.

Wilson said the items could be purchased from the town’s equipment replacement fund and no action would be necessary by the council.

Williams and the Council also addressed concerns with representatives from the Central Baldwin Baseball League regarding field preparation for the upcoming season.

Representatives told Council members that they would provide funds for the purchase of two nets for batting cages at a cost of $100 each and would purchase a portable mound for use on the fields.

Also discussed was the replacement of home plates for the fields.

Williams assured the representatives that other concerns would be addressed before opening day, which is March 26.

Carolyn Koch also addressed the council setting dates for the town’s Arbor Day tree giveway Feb. 24-25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Koch also asked if Town Hall could be used in case of inclement weather, as was done last year.

Silverhill Police Chief Kim Wasdin also reminded Council members that Yellow Dot program sign-ups would be held at Little Hall beginning at 9 a.m. Thursday. A representative would be available to sign up residents leading up to the town’s Senior luncheon, which begins at 11:30.

A sign-up for the general public will be hosted by the Silverhill Fire Department on Saturday at Town Hall.

The council also approved a full-page advertisement for Gulf Coast Newspapers at a cost of $225; and tabled action on the formation of a Senior Citizens Club pending a report by Tex Kline.

Another item brought before the council was the purchase of an advertisement in the Central Baldwin Chamber Magazine, but no action was taken for lack of a motion.
