OLD BUSINESS
8. Mayoral Veto of Resolution No. 159-2025: Resolution affirming Intent of COM to enter into an agreement with Jackson Healthcare and its parent Company, Jackson Investment Group, etc. Reasons: (1.) We would like to request a comprehensive outline of expectations from Jackson Hospital to clearly define roles and responsibilities under the agreement. This clarification will help ensure mutual understanding and strengthen operational alignment. (2.) By statute of the Code of Alabama, the County—not the City—is responsible for providing and funding indigent healthcare services. Any effort by the City to assume this role would represent a departure from established law and policy. The City’s role should be limited to negotiating its fair percentage or contribution, if any, to ensure alignment with statutory boundaries and fiscal equity among jurisdictions. (3.) We’d like to open a discussion to renegotiate the terms so that the percentages reflect a fair and balanced arrangement for the State, City and County. The current terms call for a 60/40 split which is not balanced in a way that reflects shared effort. We’d like to discuss a more equitable division.
