Hartselle City Council reviews major zoning changes, library contracts in June 23 meeting
The Hartselle City Council met on June 23, 2026, to discuss several significant items, including sweeping zoning amendments and contracts for a new library and event venue. No votes were taken during the meeting; the session was devoted to discussion and review. Minutes have not yet been published, so all items remain in proposal or discussion stage.
Zoning ordinance amendments
The council reviewed amendments to the city’s zoning code covering districts R-2, R-3, B-1, B-2, M-1, and M-2. Also discussed was Ordinance 1659, which addresses regulations for shipping containers. The specific changes or proposed language were not detailed in the agenda.
New Library/Event Venue project
A major focus of the meeting was the new Library/Event Venue. The council discussed bids for the mass excavation package for the project and considered a resolution to accept or reject those bids. Members also reviewed an agreement with C2 Designs for audio/visual design services. No contract was awarded during the meeting; both items remain under consideration.
Other contracts and agreements
The council considered authorizing the mayor to sign an ALDOT Signal Maintenance Agreement funded through a Carbon Reduction Grant. This would cover maintenance of traffic signals along state-maintained routes within the city. Separately, bids for new signage at Sparkman Park were reviewed, and a resolution to accept or reject those bids was discussed.
Surplus property and special events
A proposal was discussed to declare a building near the Farmer’s Market as surplus property. The council also considered a special events permit for the Limestone Building Group 2nd Annual Community Block Party.
Budget and traffic calming
Agenda summaries indicate the council reviewed budget performance for sports facilities and discussed a new traffic calming policy. No specific numbers or details were provided in the available documents.
