Council approves minutes, affirms prior purchases and grants Farm City festival permission

The Wetumpka City Council approved the minutes from its Dec. 15, 2025 meeting, and the moderator reported that several procurement items had been addressed under old business. The council reaffirmed prior approvals for four headsets (high torque 101) and for new firearms for the police department; both were described as appearing a second time on the agenda.

Council members were presented with a proposal from Diversified Alarm Company to connect and monitor the fire alarm system beneath the stadium VIP room. The moderator described the financial terms: a one-time installation fee of $3,000, a monthly monitoring fee of $45 and an annual inspection fee of $350. The transcript indicates this was discussed as new business; the record shows the proposal's costs but does not record a final council vote on that specific contract in the supplied segments.

The council also heard a request to purchase a single RTV utility vehicle for the sports complex to install and remove temporary fencing at a cost of $19,789; the moderator said this was the first time on the agenda and that the item would return the following week.

A motion to grant the county extension office permission to host the Farm City festival and the farmers market on 10/06/2026 was made and recorded as granted in the transcript. The transcript records the motion as 'So moved' and the moderator's confirmation that permission was granted, but it does not show a roll-call tally or identify the motion's mover by name.

Where the provided transcript records votes, they were by voice and the specific tallies were not given in the supplied segments.
