With Moody expecting a busy weekend — the Bluegrass Festival and the Miracle League World Series on Saturday — its city council wasted no time getting to business Monday.

The council accepted a donated mobile unit to be used by the Lions Club. The club will pay $1 a year for 50 years for this 28-by-56-foot unit. The Lions Club will use the unit to store about 8,000 eye glasses it recycles and donates each year. The unit will only be for the club’s use, and Mayor Joe Lee said they will need a contract stating specifics, like insurance, sewer costs and how the unit will appear — something both the council and club members were concerned about: “It’s going to have to look good,” Lee said.

“The Lions Club cares as much about the park as the council does,” said club member Vernon Barker. Barker and member Rick Booth said they would keep the unit maintained and looking its best.

The meeting was also a time to meet new police department workers. Byron Davis was appointed as Moody police department chaplain.

“I want to get to know you folks and serve this city,” Davis said.

Pete Hicks, George Wiggin and David Berry were also introduced to the council and will serve as Moody police department officers. They were chosen out of more than 40 applicants.

“We’re glad you’re a part of our team,” said Moody Police Chief Bobby Breed.

The council approved giving El Cazadors Foods LLC, located in the Old Carlises BBQ location, an ABC license for Pancho’s Mexican Grill, as long as the state of Alabama does, too.

The council went into a closed session to discuss legal issues, and members did not discuss the matter after returning.

The council also approved:

* $260.25 for a cooling fan for vehicle 302;

* $322.50 for Law Enforcement Tactical System’s access and usage fee, a budgeted item;

* $300 for Regional Organized Crime Information Center membership and service fee, a budgeted item;

* $525 for a bullet-proof vest for Officer David Berry;

* $$376 for a bullet-proof vest for Officer Pete Hicks;

* $700 for asphalt to pave the road;

* $1,366.72 to replace four rear tires on engine one;

* Linda Crowe and Bill Weathington to work together with the negotiations of the contract to purchase the Acmar Commissary.
