May 16, 2024
The Council of the City of Dora, Alabama met in the Dora Municipal Building at
6:00 p.m.
Present at the meeting was Mayor Hezikiah L. Walker, Jr., Gary Thomas, David Box,
George Sides, Jr. and Robert Busby. Regina Myers of the Walker County EMA discussed that FEMA approved and obligated funds for our storm shelter. She related she will handle the project management of the project. The City will be responsible for a twenty-five percent cost match. The City will be responsible for taking down fencing in the area, utility hook-up and the 20×100 feet dirt pad.
Stacy Turner, City Clerk related she had spoken with Jim Brakefield, City Attorney and
an attorney at the AL League of Municipalities and the total cost of the roof replacement
is under $100,000 (one hundred thousand and no/100) therefore public bid does not apply
for this project. A discussion was held about replacing the roofs on the pavilions and
dugouts.
Also discussed was creating a position for a pro-shop manager at the golf course and
what the duties and salary of this individual might be. The resolution needed to allow
council and employees to play golf for free at the golf course and to receive a discount on
cooked food items from the snack bar was discussed.
