Orange Beach discusses vacation rental change

Gulf Shores Council talks tourism, theater

By JOHN MULLENGCM contributor

Herb Malone told the Gulf Shores City Council that current spring break tourism numbers are on pace to beat 2017 and a peak is expected in the next two weeks.

Malone, President and CEO of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism, gave his update at the end of a recent council work session. Mayor Robert Craft also gave a report on the progress of the

By CRYSTAL [email protected]

The Orange Beach City Council heard public input to a change in the definition and allowance of vacation rentals at its most recent meeting. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered this application to amend the zoning ordinance to define and regulate hosted accommoda-tions, non-hosted accommoda-tions and vacation rentals at its regular meeting in February 2018. The Planning Commission gave the amendment a positive recommendation with a vote of

8-0. The amendment to Section

2.02 will add the definition of vacation rental to the Zoning Or-dinance. The definition will mir-ror the definition proposed for the License Ordinance. The defi-nition will include single-family dwellings and two-family dwell-ings/duplexes constructed for occupancy where the owner or authorized lessee offers hosted and non-hosted accommoda-tions for a duration of 14 con-secutive days or less and does not include accessory structures (garage, storage sheds)

It would permit vacation rentals in the following zon-

ing districts: RM-1, RM-2, BR, MHP, NB, MR, GB, RVP, AG and prohibit vacation rentals in the following zoning districts: RS, MHS, RO, I-1, GOV

Section 5.2704 will allow the legal nonconformity to stand unless:

(1) Ownership of the property changes (2) Structure is substantially damaged (3) Expansion in the number of sleeping rooms or increase in the floor area of the exist-ing sleeping rooms

OBPD makes arrest in homicide caseBy CRYSTAL [email protected]

An arrest has been made in connection with the homicide in-vestigation in Orange Beach.

Sunday morning the OBPD in-terviewed Micheal Burns, a Gulf Shores resident, and arrested him in connection with the ho-micide. He is being charged with murder.

Police chief Joe Fierro said due to the ongoing nature of the investigation and the potential

for prosecution, he was unable to provide many details. “What I can tell you is Mr. Burns was acquainted with the victim, Mr. Dudley, for a period of time and I can also tell you the Orange Beach Police Department in conjunction with Foley Police Department and Gulf Shores, have been diligent in this and pursuing all leads which led to this arrest this morning,” Fierro said in a press conference Sun-day afternoon.

On March 22, at approxi-

mately 11 a.m., Orange Beach Police and Fire responded in ref-erence to an unresponsive per-son on the ground at the North end of Cypress Street on Wolf Bay. The person was identified as a white male in his 50’s who was the victim of an apparent gunshot wound. The case was quickly classified a homicide.

After notifying next of kin, the police department released the name of the deceased as Ray-mond Curtis Dudley, 53 years of age, and homeless. Dudley was

originally from the State of Mas-sachusetts and a registered sex offender.

Fierro said he and the depart-ment were confident the crime occurred where the body was found. He also said Dudley and Burns were acquaintances who

Silverhill to reimburse library for repairsBy JOHN [email protected]

SILVERHILL — After a somewhat heated discus-sion at its March 19 meet-ing, the Silverhill Town Council agreed to reim-burse the Silverhill Library Board for roof repairs at the historic Oscar Johnson Memorial Library.

Repairs on the more than 100-year-old structure were first brought up at the council’s Feb. 5 meeting when they were tabled to decide on the cashing of a certificate of deposit owned by the library, then were tabled again at the Feb. 19 meeting after Director Shir-ley Stephens questioned the use of library funds for the repairs, which will cost approximately $9,300.

At the Feb. 19 meeting, Stephens stated that the funds were raised through the annual Memorial Week-end car show, which started as a fundraiser for the li-brary, along with bake sale and other fundraisers and were designated for future

Former Elberta Councilman John Conti and Elberta town officials found themselves in Baldwin County District Court last week for a hearing involving Conti’s lawsuit against the town for reimbursement funds the for-mer councilman said are owed to him, but no resolution came from the hearing.

Conti filed a lawsuit against the town of Elberta Jan. 18 fol-lowing a continued issue involv-ing travel reimbursement for a conference Conti attended in 2015.

According to the lawsuit, Conti sought the full $2,761.64 reimbursement as well as $176 in court costs and $587.41 in inter-est.

“The defendant has wrongfully and in bad faith repeatedly failed to pay the plaintiff upon numer-ous requests for payment for the plaintiff’s travel expenses on official town business as a repre-sentative to the National League of Cities Conference in Washing-

ton D.C. in March of 2015,” the lawsuit said. “In August 2017, the State Deputy Attorney General recommended the town pay the travel expenses.”

The reimbursement has con-tinued to be an issue between Conti and the town since 2015, when Conti was still a member

of the town council.Numerous votes were taken

to reimburse the money to Conti during his tenure on the council, which ended in Nov. 2016, with all of them tying 3-3 and failing.

In the hearing in District Court March 23, Judge Bill Scully en-tertained a motion from the town

of Elberta’s attorney, Lawrence Wettermark, for a possible sum-mary judgement of the case.

Wettermark presented Scully with an exhibit that said the town council had adopted a reso-lution requiring council approval

Sheriff Mack gives presentation on jail inmate meal planBy CLIFF [email protected]

During this week’s Baldwin County Commission meeting, Sheriff Hoss Mack gave a pre-sentation on his department’s spending for jail inmate meals, in light of recent reporting around the state of other sher-iffs using inmate meal funds to supplement their own salaries.

Mack said that wasn’t the case in Baldwin County, as inmate

meal spending is actually funded at a deficit from the state.

“Meals cost $1.13 each or $3.38 per day,” Mack said. “The state gives us $1.75 per day to feed an inmate, so we’re losing $1.63 per day.”

With an average of 500 to 510 inmates per day in the Bald-win County jail facility, that amounts to an almost $815 per day loss that has to be made up.

Mack said he uses a housing agreement with the federal gov-

ernment and the city of Bay Mi-nette to help bridge the funding gap on inmate meal plans.

Mack said all of the county jail’s meals are prepared by Ara-mark Industries — a food vendor who also provides services to several universities and hospi-tals across the state.

Mack said the meals follow a full dietary plan approved by a dietitian, and that 21 different meal plans are currently avail-able for inmates.

“A lot of those are governed by medical conditions and other health issues inmates might have,” Mack said. “Any devia-tion from our dietitian approved plan has to be signed off on by a physician.”

Mack said he has never taken any money from the food ac-count as personal income and he also makes sure he samples some of the meals himself sev-

We looked out over the forest floor, covered ankle deep in water and muck. The three men looked at me.

We were so close. Or at least we hoped.

One GPS directed our trek left. The other pointed to the right. They needed to find it before they ever attempted to bring a crowded boat of tourists out.

But with the water well above a level that was comfortable for even sea-soned hikers, my Nikes and I were no match for their wading boots. We would carry on only if I was comfortable with the risk.

By God, I was seeing that tree.

We were on a pilgrim-age to the State Champion Bald Cypress tree near Bayou Jessamine. Words like big and huge are far too trivial to describe its
