The City Council, City of Fairhope, met in special session
at 5:30 p.m., City Administration Building, 387 Fairhope Avenue,
Fairhope, Alabama, on Monday, 15 February 1982.
Present were Mayor James P. Nix; Councilmembers Roy C. White,
Trisha Nelson, David Ed Bishop, C.O. McCawley, and Sam E. Box
City Attorney Jim Reid and City Clerk Evelyn Phillips.
The purpose of this meeting was to hear information concern-
ing Council's February 8th action to request an environmental
impact statement and public hearing on a wastewater treatment
plant to be constructed near Daphne, and hear a report on the
Civic Center project.
Mr. Don Conlin, Eastern Shore Wastewater Treatment Facility
explained the project is a joint venture with the City of Daphne.
Daphne Councilmember Delores Oates spoke on the need for this
project, along with Dr. Tom Yancey and Mr. Malcolm Babb, Daphne
Residents. Mr. Conlin and Mr. Charles Peterson reviewed the
various steps and agencies already gone through in order to
reach the present stage of development. A letter from Mayor
Vic Guarisco, Daphne, to the Corps of Engineers requesting
that a statement and -public hearing not be made in order to
speed up the construction of the needed treatment plant.was
read by Councilman McCawley.
Dr. Barry Boothe and Mr. John Borum spoke in favor of
requesting the public hearing. They are not against the treat-
ment facility but are against the effluent being discharged
into the Bay. Both felt a public hearing might result in a
better or alternative method of treatment than that proposed
by the Eastern Shore Wastewater Treatment company.
Mr. Conlin stated he was not opposed to a public hearing
but he felt a request by the Fairhope City Council for a Corps of
Engineers EIS and Hearing would carry a lot of weight and such
an undertaking would delay the project some one or two years.
After deliberations, Councilman McCawley moved to rescind the
action taken by the Council on February 8th(requesting the Corps
to do an EIS and public hearing). Seconded by Councilman White,
motion carried by the following vote: AYE-McCawley, White, Box,
and Bishop. NAY - Nelson.
Mr. Bob Lunsford reported to Council that only one bid
was received on electrical supplies(opened 2/11) and only one
bid was received on ready -mix concrete(opened 2/12) for the
Civic Center Complex., Baldwin Electrical Supplies and
Coastal Concrete were the only respondents to the bid requests.
Councilman Bishop moved to accept the bids. Seconded b Counc 1-
m Box, mot' n passed unanimously.(a Meeting was duly a journed.
