Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Birmingham public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Hyundai/Kia settlement

Recall of the Kelvyn Felder Ordinance amendment
The council used its mayoral-recall power to pull Ordinance 26-50 back from Mayor Woodfin before he could act on it, keeping the Kelvyn Felder Ordinance amendment in limbo for now.
Equipment and facilities purchases
The council approved buying a $480,940 decontamination truck, a five-year Xerox lease up to $1.2 million, fuel dispenser upgrades, pool chemicals and public works grates — routine spending that keeps city operations running.
