In other business: 

• The council voted to surplus several items including a 2021 Kenworth dump truck, nine 0.45 mm Glock pistols to be replaced with the amount of 0.9 mm pistols that can be purchased for the same amount, and 375 SIG ammunition.  

• The council extended the bid for the sewer line. The city was granted a permit last week to go forward with the sewer line at DB Technologies. The CCCDC granted $20,000 toward the project. 

• The council discussed Ordinance No. 641 for the implementation of Knox Boxes in all new commercial buildings and existing commercial buildings that have a sprinkler system. The Hanceville Fire Department recommended the installation of the Knox Boxes which are small, wall-mounted safes that hold building keys for fire departments, emergency medical services and occasionally police to retrieve in emergency situations. The boxes cost around $400. The council tabled the ordinance to discuss at the next meeting.  

• Citywide yard sales will take place March 25-26. No permit is required. Free landfill pickup is on March 28-31. Items must be out by 6 a.m. on March 31.
