JANUARY 13, 2026 AGENDA WORKSHOP
The City Council met in an agenda workshop on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 5:30 pm to
review the proposed agenda for its next regular session. Council President Jaime Melton Anderson
presided over the meeting and Dan Weinrib served as recording secretary.
Those members present were as follows: Council President Jaime Melton Anderson
Councilor Ben Horton
Councilor Kimberly Farr
Councilor Brian Jackson
Councilor Jim Miller
Others present in their official capacity: Mayor Ben Short
City Attorney Rick Stotser
City Clerk Dan Weinrib
The City Council determined the order of consideration. Originally there were six items regarding
city committees on the consent agenda. At Councilor Miller’s request, the two involving Design Review
were moved to the regular agenda. During its review of the regular agenda, Councilor Miller requested
delaying the first proposed resolution because funding a comprehensive plan was not an emergency.
Mayor Short disagreed but expressed willingness to defer to the wishes of the rest of the council. He
explained that the Regional Planning Commission’s funds were available on a first-come/first-served
basis, so delaying two weeks would put Trussville at risk of losing out on the 80% match. Miller backed
down.
The city council also received lengthy briefings from city attorney Chesley Payne, residential
developer Brooks Harris & Harris’ attorney Heyward Hosch (Maynard Nexsen law firm) regarding the
origins & purpose of the proposed Tapestry Village Improvement District. Questions ensued from the
council about the location, how the non-profit district would operate & its tax-exempt status. At one
point, Harris assured the City Council & the audience that Harris Doyle & its Tapestry Village
development are on solid financial footing since his company is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. The
corporate conglomerate’s A shares are worth over $740,000 apiece; in its last 10-K filing with the SEC,
the Warren Buffett-led company reported having approximately $381.7 billion in cash on hand. Former
Mayor Eugene Melton attempted to ask a question, only to scolded tactfully by President Anderson for
his inappropriate question during workshop. Her response amused the entire room.
Next, Mayor Short brought up the process for considering citizens for future committee
appointments. Moving forward, it will be the City’s business practice to include the councilors on the
applicant distribution list whenever there are committee vacancies. Councilors will have a grace period to
review and offer feedback prior to a prospective appointment getting placed on the consent agenda.
Mayor Short acknowledged he was giving up some executive discretion as a trade-off for achieving
additional transparency with the public.
Next, Jessica Payne & Cassandra Greer (PNC Bank) gave a PowerPoint presentation on the full
range of banking services offered to their government clients. The City plans to move its accounts to
PNC, since PNC offers more favorable interest rates -- a benefit exceeding over $180,000.
Next, the mayor & council discussed at length & reached final consensus on the school board
appointment process. Instead of using private citizens, the councilors themselves will review candidates’
resumes & privately inform HR Director Mandy Dixon which ones they want to consider. After each
councilor has weighed in, he or she will then learn his/her other four colleagues’ preferences. A scoring
matrix will determine the top three candidates, whom the councilors will then interview in a public forum.
With no further items to discuss, President Anderson adjourned workshop at 6:58 pm.
JANUARY 13, 2026 REGULAR SESSION
The City Council of the City of Trussville met in regular session on Tuesday, January 13,
2026, at 7:11 pm at the City Hall Annex, with Council President Jaime Melton Anderson presiding and

the pledge.
Those members present were as follows: Council President Jaime Melton Anderson
Councilor Ben Horton
Councilor Kimberly Farr
Councilor Brian Jackson
Councilor Jim Miller
Others present in their official capacity: Mayor Ben Short
City Attorney Rick Stotser
City Clerk Dan Weinrib
They reviewed the minutes from the December 18 agenda workshop & regular session. Councilor
Farr moved & Councilor Jackson seconded the motion to approve the minutes, with Farr’s correction
regarding a Chamber event already noted. UNANIMOUS

Councilor Horton seconded the motion to approve the consent agenda. President Anderson recognized
Councilor Farr, who acknowledged three of the new committee appointees, who remained in attendance.
UNANIMOUS Councilor Farr moved & Councilor Jackson seconded the motion to approve the extended
regular agenda. UNANIMOUS
During public comments, former Mayor Eugene Melton (114 Glenn Avenue) voiced his opposition
to the Tapestry Village Improvement District on the grounds that it should have to pay sales & use taxes on
construction materials for building infrastructure. Mayor Short then clarified for the Council’s & public’s
benefit that construction materials purchased by homebuilders for building residences are subject to sales
& use tax. Upon recognition by President Anderson, attorney Heyward Hosch re-explained that state law
exempts these non-profit improvement districts from paying such taxes for constructing utility
infrastructure. Hosch also explained that improvement districts finance their improvements through private
bonds, which get paid off via annual assessments to private property owners. Hosch should know since he
wrote the state law.
Next, Bonnie Hicks (5284 Lakeside Terrace) asked about the proposed agreement with the
Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham, which costs up to $750,000. Mayor Short
answered & explained the City would pay 20% while RPCGB covers the other 80%.
Next, Kathryne Brugge (4244 Cahaba Bend) asked about the full impact of Tapestry Village on
city schools. With Council’s permission, developer Brooks Harris answered there would be 189 residences
upon completion. She expressed concern because of the school system’s burgeoning enrollment.
Under the regular agenda, Councilor Horton then introduced a proposed proclamation declaring
January 2026 as Human Trafficking Prevention Month. He moved & Councilor Farr seconded the
motion for approval. UNANIMOUS Proclamation No. 2026-01 Jefferson County Sheriff’s

the Alabama Attorney General regarding conflicting enforcement between the City’s Life Safety Code
pertaining to residential fire safety systems & Code of Alabama Section 13-14A-12.2 He moved &
Councilor Miller seconded the motion for approval. UNANIMOUS Resolution No. 2026-02
Councilor Farr then introduced a proposed resolution to grant unpaid leave to a certain city
employee who cannot use paid time off because of her probationary status. She moved & Councilor

President Anderson then opened a public hearing on prospective alcohol licensing for the new
Food City grocery on Main Street. Food City had taken over for Winn-Dixie. Store Manager Jeff Shook
& Special Project Manager Eric Hozouri represented Food City. With President Anderson’s permission,
Mayor Short questioned them about employee training. They answered to his & council’s satisfaction.
Each employee assigned to any checkout register is required to have two hours of TIPS training, then get
certified. Afterwards, they undergo monthly reviews. At times, corporate management will send
undercover actors to test those employees for compliance. The council had no questions. Since nobody
from the audience spoke up, President Anderson closed the public hearing.

application. She moved & Councilor Miller seconded the motion for approval. UNANIMOUS

Councilor Jackson then introduced a proposed resolution approving the establishment of the
Tapestry Village Improvement District. He moved & Councilor Farr seconded the motion for
approval. Consequently, Councilor Miller asked the council to postpone consideration to a subsequent

Taylor to the Design Review Committee, succeeding Chairman Kris Reeves, with term ending
August 23, 2027. When asked by Councilor Horton, Mayor Short explained that committees elect their
own leadership. In this case, Taylor will likely take over as Design Review chairman since he was a
founding member of the committee years ago. Councilor Miller then made the motion to table the
appointment to the next council meeting, to allow other interested citizens to apply. The motion
died due to a lack of a second. The Council then voted 4-1 (Miller dissenting) approving Taylor’s
appointment.
Councilor Jackson then moved, & Councilor Farr seconded the motion, to accept Reeves
resignation from Design Review, effective immediately. UNANIMOUS Mayor Short explained that
Reeves is already busy volunteering for the City, by chairing the Active Transportation Committee &
serving on the Planning & Zoning Commission.
