The Fort Payne City Council met Wednesday in a two hour and 15-minute Zoom work session to resolve some lingering issues that led them to postpone passing a new budget at their regular meeting the previous day. Rather than the typical in-person meeting at City hall, both were livestreamed by FPTV due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19.

Council President Walter Watson asked whether the Council could pass a budget Tuesday while continuing to work on two parts of it: proposed cost-of-living pay increases for city employees and appropriations. The Council also discussed possibly restructuring use of the DeKalb Theatre and the Coal & Iron Building, as well as possibly selling DeSoto Country Club.
