“Every one of these [committees] has been discussed at length,” Councilmember Scott Jones said Wednesday. “All of these are defunct, the members had rotated off, there were no meetings that had been held, and there was no ordinance or any semblance of action taken place in well over a year. It makes no sense to keep these on the books.”
None of the dissolved committees generated much outcry, but Beverly Cooper of Stand-Up Mobile, a voting rights organization in the city, implored the council Wednesday not to dissolve the Blue Ribbon commission, arguing that there was still a need for the committee in Mobile.
