WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that advance authorization of a municipal
exemption certificate will facilitate timely mobilization of contractors and suppliers once a

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City to limit such exemption strictly to tangible personal
property that becomes a permanent part of the Project, while ensuring full compliance with
all applicable reporting, record-keeping, and audit requirements;

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mobile, Alabama, now seeks to amend and fully
restate Resolution 50-1111 to ensure compliance with all statutory requirements, including
§ 40-23-4.01(a), and to further clarify the terms of the sales and use tax exemption for the

 39
 MINUTES OF MARCH 31, 2026
