Voting record · Oct 7, 2024 to Aug 17, 2026 · Baldwin County, Alabama
Re-elected unopposed in 2025; current term Nov 3, 2025 to Nov 2029.
What the mayor can do on council votes: the mayor does not vote and does not break ties. The mayor has a veto only: within 10 days the mayor may veto an ordinance or resolution of a permanent nature, and the council can override with two-thirds of its elected members (5 of 7). The council elects its own president, who runs the meetings. We found no vetoes in the minutes we reviewed.

| Dec 2, 2024 | Ordinance 2024-37UNCLEAR Rezoning request southeast of Champions Way and AL-181. A 5-2 roll call was recorded; residents had raised concerns, including about traffic. The minutes record this 5-2 roll call under a motion to waive the reading of Ordinance 2024-37. No separate vote to adopt it appears, and the minutes of the next meeting (Dec 16, 2024) have not been posted, so we can't confirm whether the ordinance was finally adopted. From the minutes (paraphrased): Phillips reminded the council of citizens' comments; Conaway said she is concerned about traffic; Scott pointed to a nearby neighborhood built under the same zoning. | carried | No | Yes | Yes | · | · | Yes | · | Yes | Yes | No | Minutes · Meeting |

| Aug 3, 2026 | Ordinances 2026-23 and 2026-24UNCLEAR Pre-zones and annexes land at County Road 54 and Centipede Drive. Olen voted no, noting the Planning Commission had split 3-3, which is not a favorable recommendation. The minutes contradict themselves. They say Green abstained on both ordinances, but they also show Green making the motion to approve the pre-zoning and record a 4-1 vote; with five members present, 4-1 counts all five. The minutes also list Roberts as both making and seconding the annexation motion. We show Green's vote as unclear. From the minutes (paraphrased): Olen noted that the Planning Commission had split 3-3, which is not a favorable recommendation, and urged the council not to adopt. | carried 4-1 (per minutes) | Yes* | No | Absent | Yes* | Absent | Yes* | Unclear | · | · | · | Minutes · Meeting |
