A May 5 agenda listed consideration and discussion of bids on city hall renovations, the parking lot, and the post office lease at 250 Alabama St. But at that meeting, the city attorney said he was still working through bid and bond information, and the item needed to be tabled; the city council tabled it 4-0.
