The Western Tribune was the only paper to have a reporter at the Bessemer Council meeting last night, so here is the scoop.
The Western Tribune reported this week that a deal has been struck between Bessemer’s Mayor Ed May and the City Council to approve a $25 million bond issue to complete a water project to Alabaster.
Well, the council voted Tuesday night 7-0 to do just that.
It was quite a night for the mayor. He presented three checks totaling $3.5 million to be signed and sent to the Bessemer schools getting the city caught up with its obligation.
Also, May presented his 2007-2008 budget to the council.
It calls for a spending plan of $39.4 million, up from this year’s $35.7 million.
The mayor said the budget has a $52,580 reserve.
More on all of these stories in next week's print edition of The Western Tribune.
