The Jasper City Council approved a package of routine operational items and made one zoning introduction during its regular meeting.
On motions and voice votes the council approved: (1) the minutes of the Dec. 16, 2025 meeting; (2) the meeting agenda; (3) an authorization to send bid solicitations for a dual wall polyethylene pipe contract after a request from Council member Jessica; (4) an agreement with La Bella and Associates to survey the city landfill so staff can identify and define a potential new cell as the facility nears capacity; and (5) authorization for the mayor and city attorney to send a letter to the state attorney general requesting an opinion on a personnel/employee matter. All of these motions were made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The council also heard an introduction of an ordinance to rezone roughly 0.2 acres at 701 27th Street West from R-2 to R-3 to allow placement of a manufactured housing unit. The planning commission recommended approval; the ordinance was introduced for public hearing and action at the next council meeting (no vote taken on the ordinance at this meeting).
Chief Poe introduced two recent hires for the Jasper Police Department, Trevor Hudson and Stephen Haynes, saying they had completed vetting and would report to the police academy on the 18th of the month. An audience speaker later identified by the council as Daryl thanked the council for support while serving as interim assistant chief for 14 months; council members and Chief Poe publicly thanked him for his service.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
Votes at a glance: multiple routine motions (minutes, agenda, bid authorization, landfill survey agreement, authorization to send letter to attorney general) were carried by voice vote with affirmative responses recorded; the rezoning ordinance was introduced and scheduled for public hearing and action at the next meeting.
