    Haleyville Rotary Toys for Kids

    By InLatest News

    Thursday, December 16th, 2021, the Haleyville Rotary Club distributed over 500 toys to 108 families for their Annual Toys for Kids Program.  Toys were specifically purchased with each child’s request thoughtfully kept in mind.  To be able to fill the holiday toy wishes of these children is a blessing, and the heartfelt time and energy invested by those involved is deeply appreciated.

    It is always wonderful to see a Community come together to help during the Holiday Season.  Humanity and Compassion still abound, and is shown through the selfless acts of those who organize, donate, and volunteer for these types of programs.  These beautiful souls come together to bring a little Light and Love, and the Haleyville Rotary Club would like to express its Gratitude to all who assisted in making the Toys for Kids Program a wonderful success this year.

    At the Haleyville City Council meeting, on Monday, December 6, 2021, the Haleyville Parks & Recreation 3rd & 4th Grade All Star Volleyball Team was awarded a Proclamation, and presented with trophies, as they finished the season with the State Championship.

    Representing The Tony Barnes Memorial Charity, Toni Peden requested use of property for a Block Party in July.  This was met with approval, pending details.

    The City of Haleyville is currently working on the 2020 Neighborhood Improvements, including 7th Avenue South – Mineral Springs Apartments, Streets, Drainage, Water, and Sanitary Sewer.  Delayed delivery of materials has caused the Contractor to request a time extension of thirty (30) days to complete the project.  The Project Engineer has reviewed and approved the extension, making the contract completion date December 28, 2021.

    The City of Haleyville has a 1995 Chevrolet GMT 400 C Truck (Vin#1GBKC34F4SJ105660) in the Street and Sanitation Department, which is no longer needed for public or municipal purposes.  The Alabama Code of 1975 authorizes the municipal governing body to dispose of unneeded personal property, which will be accomplished by selling above stated property to the Winston County Commission. 

    Sealed bids for Parking Lot Improvements at Lakeland Community Hospital were received and opened.  The Project Engineer has reviewed the bids received and recommends that the project be awarded to Central Alabama Asphalt & Construction Company, LLC for their Base Bid of $237,990.00.

    Addition of a non-destructive Sewer Rehabilitation Project to the American Rescue Plan Act’s Project list was approved.

    Fontaine Property, approximately 17 acres, was declared as no longer being needed for public or municipal purposes. The Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to take sealed bids, with the purchase to be approved by the City Council.  A legal description of the property is listed in Ordinance #2021-04.

    The next City Council Meeting is scheduled for December 20, 2021, 5:30 p.m., at City Hall.
