Alexandria City Council: 11/20/25
The Alexandria City Council met on November 20, 2025, beginning with approval of the November 6 meeting minutes. Council then recognized the 2025 Fall/Halloween Beautification Award winners, Cary Nordic and Clare Minter, presenting them with certificates and gift cards. The city’s Visual Identity Team followed with a special presentation honoring contributors to Alexandria’s branding history. Pam Proctor was recognized for designing the city’s longtime 1999 logo, while graphic designer Cody Disney was honored for creating the city’s new logo and full visual identity guide. Doug Thiele was also recognized for creating the enduring slogan, “Where the City Meets the Country.”
The Police Department introduced its newest hire, Evan, who participated in his ceremonial swearing-in and is set to begin the academy in December. After a brief recess, council moved into legislative business with the first reading of Ordinance 2025-16, updating the city code to reflect its newly bid waste collection contract. Council voted to formally accept the bid from Rumsey, followed by an extended discussion with Rumsey’s representatives addressing recurring complaints about trucks entering neighborhoods before the 7 a.m. allowed time. The city and hauler agreed on improved communication and operational adjustments to prevent future issues. Council then approved a proclamation declaring November 29, 2025, as Small Business Saturday, emphasizing the importance of Alexandria’s local merchants.
Department reports included updates on police staffing—welcoming new graduates, managing active felony cases, and continuing recruitment. The city administrator reported progress on YMCA conversations, public works superintendent hiring, and staff training achievements. Council committees shared updates on upcoming street projects, potential grant-supported leaf pickup, and the possibility of relocating the Public Works facility to the nearby park-and-ride lot.
