The Clanton City Council unanimously voted on Monday to amend an agreement with Coca-Cola Bottling Company for scoreboards at city ballparks.

Originally, the council voted in April to approve an amended agreement with Coca-Cola Bottling for the city park, in which the current agreement would be extended six years and add funding for four additional scoreboards at no cost, not to exceed $12,000.

The council learned that Coca-Cola would spend $17,000 for the scoreboards, so the council decided to amend the agreement to include the increased amount.

The company will provide four scoreboards for city ballparks in exchange for extending an agreement with the city through 2025.

Councilman Sammy Wilson made the motion that the council amend the agreement increasing the amount to $17,000 toward the scoreboards.

Councilman Greg DeJarnett seconded the motion with the rest of the council voting in favor.

Councilman Jeffrey Price was absent from Monday’s meeting.
