The Town of Hayneville held its City Council meeting Monday, August 10, to discuss city business and new improvements.
The council will host a city-wide, cleanup effort at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, beginning at the Town Hall.
Mayor David Daniel welcomed the council members by discussing the importance of COVID-19 guidelines and encouraged city residents to continue following the mask ordinance, and briefly spoke about the new Lowndes County Area Chamber of Commerce and his excitement for what’s in store.
The agenda included representation from the Alabama Power Co., in regards to upgrading Hayneville’s street lights to LED lights to save energy. The lights are more energy efficient than traditional light bulbs, and will last 15 years.

The council also approved to change the amount for the Community Development Block Grant Project Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Improvements that amounted to $388,858 to $280,554 to allocate funds to assist in other sewage issues the town is facing.
