Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce, was present for the proclamation.
Mayor Saliba presented and read a proclamation, proclaiming the week of May 12-

presented the Officer of the Year Award and the Medal of Merit Award to Officer
Nicholas Baity, the Police Cross Award to Officer Matthew Cole, and Life Saving
Awards to Sergeant Derek Wieczorek, Officer Christopher (Jake) Gillilan, Officer

Alabama Municipal Electric Authority (AMEA) Scholarship Winners: Margaret
Holley Crim, Senior at Providence Christian School; Micah Samuel Dorsey, Senior
at Providence Christian School; William Lovard Lee, V, Senior at Houston
Academy; and Jonathon Edward Strickland, Senior at Ridgecrest Christian School.
Commissioner Dorsey commended Chief Parrish and his team for their leadership,
and he requested an update on the two officers who were injured in an incident
over the weekend and measures being taken to increase safety. Chief Parrish said
the officers have been released from the hospital, they are recovering from their
injuries, and they are in good spirits. He said his department has been deploying a
rapid response team since last August in response to the trend being experienced
here, as it is throughout the country. He said the team has been deployed a total
of fifteen days in the last six months, which has resulted in 241 arrests with 157
drug charges and 21 guns removed from the streets. He said he wants to be clear
in that he and his department are not tolerating this activity and they will be in
neighborhoods with sector patrols with officers who know the difference between
reasonable suspicion and probable cause. He said they are going to isolate these
areas through the data they collect, they are going to stay in those areas, and they
are going to snuff it out. He said this is his commitment, and he asks that the
community bear with them through this process. Chief Parrish confirmed for
Commissioner Dorsey that the starting salary for our police officers is
approximately $36,500 and this is one of the problems. Chief Parrish said his
department has had some turnover and they have recently lost a number of

veteran officers. He said this is an issue that has been identified through the
Commission’s strategic planning process so there is a light at the end of the tunnel
and we are going to be able to fix this problem.
Commissioner Fleming thanked Mayor Saliba, Public Works Director Charles
Metzger, Leisure Services Director Elston Jones, Dothan Utilities Director Billy
Mayes, Police Chief Steve Parrish, Fire Chief Larry Williams, and Planning
Director Todd McDonald for the information provided at the meeting held at
Beverlye Crossings last month. He said the residents of Beverlye Crossings and
surrounding areas were very pleased with the City’s output and it was amazing to
have leadership present to answer the citizens’ questions. He thanked Executive
Assistant Sarah Woodham for her work in helping him get the information out.
Commissioner Fleming announced our annual Dignity for Dads celebration will
take place on Saturday, June 15th at McRae Homes in the Courtyard from 10 a.m.
until 2:00 p.m. in partnership with Dothan Housing Authority (DHA), DHA Resident
Services Coordinator DeAndrea Peterson, and Kris Doss. He said this event has
always had a lot of support from the Commission, and he encouraged anyone who
would like to show their support to come out and enjoy.
Commissioner Kirkland said he just returned yesterday afternoon from the
Alabama League of Municipalities’ Annual Convention in Mobile and this was a
great conference which provided lots of information. He said our friends and
neighbors from small towns all around us were there and he enjoyed doing this.
Commissioner Kirkland reminded everyone that this Sunday is Mother’s Day and if
your mother is still living to celebrate her.
Commissioner Ferguson said he would like to officially welcome City Manager
Kevin Cowper to Dothan and he looks forward to working with him.
Commissioner Ferguson thanked Chief Parrish and his department for all they are
doing with everything that has been going on lately, and he also expressed
appreciation to Chief Williams and his department for the assistance they provided
to the officers during the incident over the weekend. He agreed with Commissioner
Dorsey’s sentiments in that “you get what you pay for” and if we have a void in
staffing our police department, we need to address this quickly because it is not
getting any easier to do that job.
Commissioner Kenward said Chief Parrish has made a commitment to us to stomp
out this crime and she is going to make a commitment to him, and she called on
every citizen within earshot to do the same. She said she is going to pray for him
daily, as well as his team and his people. She said she feels this is what we need
to do, and this is not just Dothan, this is our country that is under attack and she is
not going to stand for it.
Commissioner Kenward welcomed City Manager Cowper and said she is excited
to serve with him. She said each member of the Commission has had the
opportunity to meet with him this week and they have had fruitful conversations.
She said she is excited that he comes to us with a very proactive attitude which
will serve the community well.
Mayor Saliba welcomed City Manager Cowper and thanked him for being here.
City Manager Cowper said he would like to take this opportunity to personally
thank Mayor Saliba, the Commission members, the department heads and their
respective staffs, and in particular the Dothan community for such a warm
welcome for he and his wife Jenny to come home to the city of Dothan. He said
they are truly blessed to be here and look forward to the future. He said one of the
first things he has learned is that Dothan is a very welcoming community and this
is a great asset.

Mayor Saliba introduced the application of Hannah Shiver for a Special Retail
License – More than 30 days (on or off premise) for Courtyard by Marriott, located
at 3040 Ross Clark Circle. Mayor Saliba asked if there was anyone present to
speak on this matter and there were none. Commissioner Kenward moved for
approval, motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland. There being no discussion
and upon the motion being put to vote, the motion was unanimously carried.
Mayor Saliba introduced the application of Nancy S. Johnson for a Restaurant
Retail Liquor License (on premise) for Fire Stone Wood Fired Pizza and Grill,
located at 250 South Oates Street. Mayor Saliba asked if there was anyone
present to speak on this matter and there were none. Commissioner Kenward
moved for approval, motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland. There being no
discussion and upon the motion being put to vote, the motion was unanimously
carried.
Mayor Saliba announced a Public Hearing regarding the abatement and removal
of noxious or dangerous weeds. There being no one present to speak, Mayor
Saliba declared the Public Hearing closed.
Mayor Saliba introduced Ordinance No. 2019-102 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No. _______at Page_______), rezoning property owned by Bruce and Lori
Johnson located west of Murphy Mill Landing Subdivision, from A-C (Agricultural-
Conservation) District to R-2 (Residential single-family, medium density) District.
Commissioner Ferguson moved for immediate consideration, motion seconded by
Commissioner Kirkland and upon the motion being put to vote, those voting “yea,”
were Saliba, Dorsey, Fleming, Kirkland, Ferguson, and Kenward; “nay:” none. The
motion was carried by the majority of six “yeas” to no “nays.”
Commissioner Kirkland then moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 2019-102,
motion seconded by Commissioner Kenward. Margaret Myers, 120 Pleasant
Valley Drive, signed up for privileges of the floor to speak regarding this item. Ms.
Myers expressed opposition to this rezoning request and the proposed housing
development being developed under the R-2 density zoning. She said she is
opposed to this rezoning due to the following reasons: this property can be
developed residentially at its present classification of A-C at a lower density;
significant increased traffic levels which will adversely affect the accident-prone
intersection of JB Chapman, Murphy Mill, and Bethlehem Roads; significant
increased traffic levels on North Brannon Stand Road and Alabama 605, which
already has blocked neighborhood ingress/egress at times due to traffic levels;
unrestricted growth with little concern for its consequences; and poorly maintained
infrastructure. Senior Planner Frank Breaux clarified for Commissioner Kenward
that this is the developer’s first attempt to rezone this property. Commissioner
Kirkland said there was a discussion about turn lanes in this area as a solution to
help with the traffic and he asked if this has been worked out. Mr. Metzger said the
intersection mentioned by Ms. Myers is maintained by multiple jurisdictions; the
City has two legs, Houston County has a leg, and Dale County has a leg. He said
Minutes of the Board of Commissioners – May 7, 2019, continued.
the City has done some drawings and is working with these agencies to possibly
install a roundabout at this location, which they feel is a good solution. He said
Alabama 605 is a State road, and the City has talked to the State about some
things that need to be done. He said the bridge is structurally fine but functionally
narrow and needs to be replaced. Mr. Metzger said the City will continue to talk to
Dale County and Houston County about what can be done long-term to address
these issues. Commissioner Ferguson said we need to seek some investment at
the State level and from some of our partners in the counties that were mentioned,
because Ms. Myers is correct about the traffic issues in this area, and we need to
address it quickly. He said looking at the rezoning of it he thinks it is hard for us to
deny a person the right to develop their property if they meet all the requirements
we have on the books at this time. He said it is a difficult situation for everybody
but he thinks we need to consider the developers rights too. There being no further
discussion and upon the motion being put to vote, those voting “yea,” were Saliba,
Fleming, Kirkland, Ferguson, and Kenward; “nay:” Dorsey. The motion was carried
by the majority of five “yeas” to one “nay.”
Mayor Saliba introduced Ordinance No. 2019-103 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No. _______at Page_______), rezoning property owned by the Boys and Girls
Club of the Wiregrass, located at 435 South Alice Street, from L-I (Light Industrial)
District to B-2 (Highway Commercial) District. Commissioner Kenward moved for
immediate consideration, motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland and upon
the motion being put to vote, those voting “yea,” were Saliba, Dorsey, Fleming,
Kirkland, Ferguson, and Kenward; “nay:” none. The motion was carried by the
majority of six “yeas” to no “nays.”
Commissioner Kirkland then moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 2019-103,
motion seconded by Commissioner Kenward and upon the motion being put to
vote, those voting “yea,” were Saliba, Dorsey, Fleming, Kirkland, Ferguson, and
Kenward; “nay:” none. The motion was carried by the majority of six “yeas” to no
“nays.”
Mayor Saliba introduced Resolution No. 2019-104 (recorded in Ordinance Book
No._______at Page_______), declaring certain properties which are overgrown
with weeds, scrub, wild bushes, grass and other vegetable growth as injurious to
the health, safety and welfare of the community as nuisances and ordering that the

seconded by Commissioner Kenward and unanimously adopted.

meeting on June 4, 2019. Commissioner Ferguson moved for adoption, motion
seconded by Commissioner Kirkland and unanimously adopted.

value and fixing the compensation of the tax assessor and tax collector for
collecting and assessing the tax. Commissioner Kenward moved for adoption,
motion seconded by Commissioner Kirkland. Commissioner Fleming requested an
explanation for the public. Finance Director Lisa Reeder said the county collects
the property tax, and the City receives 5 mills of the total 34.5 mills collected. Mrs.
Reeder said this is a standard procedure and the amount collected remains the
same. Commissioner Fleming confirmed with Mrs. Reeder that an increase would

require a public vote. Commissioner Ferguson inquired into the tax assessor and
tax collector compensation, and he asked if the City has to pay a percentage of
that 5 mills to the county for their services. Mrs. Reeder said she will look into it
this further and get back to the Commission with an answer. There being no
further discussion, the resolution was unanimously adopted.

Commissioner Dorsey. Commissioner Dorsey said he is glad to see this went to a
local contractor. Commissioner Kirkland said we had increased the amount of
