The City Council, City of Fairhope, met in regular session
at 5:30 pm; Fairhope Municipal Complex Council Chamber;
161 North Section Street; Fairhope, Alabama 36532; on
Monday, 26 February 1990.
Present were Mayor James P. Nix; Councilmembers Roy C.
White, Jeanette Puckett, David E. Bishop, Michael A. Ford,
and Barney L. Shull; City Attorney Marion Wynne and City
Clerk Evelyn Phillips. No one was absent.
There being a quorum present, Mayor Nix called the meeting
to order. Minutes of the 12 February 1990 regular session
were duly approved.
A large group of Montrose citizens was present and addressed
the Council on the subject of annexing Montrose. Ms. Deborah
Porter said she represented Montrose United, a group of approx-
imately 300 Montrose residents, property owners, and business
people, and they wanted to request that the Council withdraw
its request for legislative action. Several people also gave
their views on the subject. Mr. Jack Friend, representing
the Montrose Property Owners Association, presented another
petition in favor of an annexation referendum containing
approximately 186 signatures. Mr. Friend indicated this petition
was in addition to the petition presented on January 8th.
During the lengthy discussion, the Mayor and Council restated
that the legislative act, that had been published for four
consecutive weeks in a local newspaper ending with the February
21st issue, would not annex Montrose; it will provide for a
referendum so that the Montrose community can decide for itself
whether or not to be annexed and they, the Governing Body of
Fairhope, could see no other more -fair or more -democratic
method for settlement of the issue. No action was taken by
the Council.
Council reviewed an application for a Club Liquor License
by Charles V. Henderson IV, dba DUSTY RHOADES RESTAURANT at
902 Morphy Avenue. Mr. Henderson is the new owner of the
Restaurant which already has a Club license. No one present
was opposed to the license. There was police approval of
the applicant. Proof of newspaper publications was presented
prior to the meeting to the City Clerk. Councilman White
moved to approve the license. Seconded by Councilman Shull,
motion passed unanimously.
Councilman Bishop introduced, and moved for the adoption of,
the following resolution which confirms Council action of
8 January 1990. Seconded by Councilman White, motion passed
unanimously:
