The Hull City Council on Jan. 22 unanimously approved a package of appointments, municipal contracts and spending measures during a meeting at Hull City Hall.
Mayor John Barber presented a slate of appointments that the council accepted: Tracy Dean as voter registrar, Sandra Pou as city clerk and Danny Love as city attorney. Councilmember Yvonne Davenport moved to accept the recommendations and Councilmember Steven Hollingsworth seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Steven Hollingsworth was also appointed mayor pro tem for 2026 after a motion by Paige Phillips and a second by Mike McElroy.
The council approved the purchase of replacement holiday pole lights from Mosca Designs at a discounted price of $5,475.24. Mayor Barber said the current lights are about 20 years old and that he had spoken with local businesses about possible donations but had not secured any commitments before the meeting.
City Clerk Sandra Pou reported that the 2023 audit had been completed and presented Letters of Engagement for the 2024 audit. The engagement fee for the 2024 audit is $5,750, the same amount as in previous years; the council authorized the clerk to sign and submit the letters.
On a separate contract matter, Mayor Barber recommended renewing lawn maintenance with GreenScenez at the same monthly price of $1,300. The proposed contract would run Feb. 1 through Nov. 30, 2026, and expand the scope to include trimming crepe myrtles and maintaining medians and the Highway 72 flower beds in addition to prior duties. The council authorized the mayor to enter the contract.
To make use of remaining funds in the city’s construction account, the council accepted a bid from Melton Services LLC for $11,000 to remodel the office area to match the main City Hall. The motion to accept the bid passed unanimously.
Under old business, Charles Dooley and Don Tyson, representing members of Hull Baptist Church, asked the city to consider assisting with the cost of installing lights around a church walking track so it could be used more by church and community members. They did not provide a cost estimate at the meeting and said they would report back with more information.
Mr. Shedd reported that he had issued two building permits for homes on Glenn Carrie Road. With no further business, the council adjourned.
The council took no votes that were recorded as opposed or divided; motions reported in the minutes were described as "unanimously approved."
