Public hearing scheduled before Alexander October council meeting; Only three New Business items listed

The Alexander City Council will hold a public hearing before its October 20 regular council meeting. The public hearing begins at 5:30 PM in the courtroom at the Alexander Municipal Complex (City Hall). The public hearing is another step required to receive a Brownfield Grant. Members of the public are invited to attend.

Mayor Crystal Herrmann has been attempting to acquire a Brownfield grant in order to make the former Alexander Human Development Center (HDC) property, located along Highway 111 in South Alexander, safe for development. The grant program is funded by the EPA and is used to clean properties where the presence, or potential presence, of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant makes development difficult. The expectation is the hospital building contains asbestos, lead paint and potentially other unknown hazards.

The agenda for the regular October council meeting, which follows the public hearing, has only three items under New Business and no items listed under Old Business. The three New Business items are:

1. Election Ordinance,

2. Streets/Parks Truck purchase,

3. Larry with raised garden beds.

The regular meeting of the Alexander City Council is Monday, October 20, 2025 at 6:00 PM in the courtroom at the Alexander Municipal Complex (City Hall). The public is invited to attend.
