The Baldwin City Council is set to meet Tuesday evening, April 21, at 6 p.m. at the Baldwin Municipal Courtroom on Willingham Avenue, with several key items on the agenda, including a proposed aid agreement and potential changes to fire department staffing.
The meeting will begin with a work session, where council members will consider a resolution honoring Grady “Jr.” Robinson. Materials related to the resolution were provided to council members ahead of the meeting.
There is no consent agenda scheduled for this meeting, meaning all items will be addressed individually by the council.
Among the items listed under old business is consideration of an aid agreement between the City of Baldwin and LACI Prison. Council members are also expected to revisit a proposal involving the reallocation of payroll funds, which could impact staffing within the fire department.
The proposal outlines two options: unfreezing a firefighter position or freezing the training captain position to allow for the addition of a firefighter. The discussion is expected to focus on staffing needs and budget priorities.
The agenda also includes time for public comments, reports, and any new business that may come before the council. An executive session is also listed, if needed.
In addition, the city announced it is currently seeking sponsors for upcoming community events. Businesses interested in supporting local celebrations are encouraged to contact City Hall or Council Member Lehman for more information.
The meeting is open to the public, and accommodations are available upon request through the City Clerk’s office.
