Council tables road work bids

The Gardendale City Council tabled a resolution to open construction bids for a road that will connect Odum and Mt. Olive Roads until the April 7 council meeting. Mayor Kenny Clemons said erosion control had to be done on the road before it can be paved.

In other business, the council:

• approved advertisement for bids on a new fire engine/pumper to be received by April 15. Fire Chief Clint Doss told council members a new truck will cost about $435,000.

• passed an ordinance establishing penalties for false fire and police alarms. The new ordinance replaces an existing ordinance.

• authorized an agreement to provide employee assistance to city employees

• created a revenue examiner position in the administrative department
