The Alexander City City Council has an operating budget for fiscal year 2021.

With seven hours discussing the budget in open meetings, the council felt it best to wait until a cost of services study can be presented by Jackson Thornton at its Oct. 17 meeting. The study will give councilmembers an idea of what services in the city actually cost, their benefits and what the revenue needs are, if any, to support long-term growth in Alexander City.
