In 2019, aldermen ran promising responsive government. But with one week from election day, city records reveal alderman haven't convened many of the city's committees like public safety in nearly four years.
While it wasn't specified what "government purposes" the facility is to be used under the resolution, City Council approved a similar acquisition of a vacant downtown bank last year. This acquisition is regarding a stormwater management project.
Alderman Marshun Tolbert (2nd), Alderman Tracy Key (4th), Alderman Dominique Randle-El (5th), and Alderman Tyrone Rogers (6th) were absent from the meeting, where the Council was to discuss several development-related items.
