During the Birmingham City Council meeting Tuesday, August 31, 2010, Council:

1. Approved an ordinance to amend Title 4, "Municipal Services", Chapter 5, "Streets and Sidewalks", Article H, "Excavations", of the General Code of the City of Birmingham. "With approval of this ordinance comes a revenue generating opportunity as permitting fees increase." Plus this is our chance to ensure that taxpayers are not charged twice as we are working to protect our investments of newly paved streets. No longer will contractors rip apart the roads that our families travel across each day and not provide restoration. We will enforce this measure. This is a community effort, if you see someone cutting up the streets in your neighborhood take down the name of the company and the date of the work. Then report that information to 311,” said Councilor Roberson, Chair of the Public Improvements and Beautification Committee.

2. Appointed two (2) Special Municipal Judges:
Traci A. Todd
Deborah B. Montgomery (reappointment)

3. Appointed two (2) Full time Municipal Judges:
Brendette Brown Green
David Barnes (reappointment)
