City Council Q&A Adm. Jack Natter (Ret.)

What positive community outcomes should we expect to see in the first quarter as a result of issues before the Council?

Since there are no pivotal issues right now, any community outcomes are truly speculative. That being said, there is a need in Hoover for additional fields for various athletic use, which is being addressed in the embryonic stage at this time. Also, the various volunteer committees within the city continually bring viable ideas to the mayor and Council for consideration and implementation. 

What might readers be surprised to learn about you?

A few years ago, my wife Nancy, who has a very green thumb, encouraged me to grow my own lemon trees and make my own Limoncello, which is an Italian after-dinner liqueur. This endeavor has been a great success with Meyer lemons. Presently, I have about 40 lemons on one of the trees.

What is your favorite “within the city” escape (other than home, since Dr. Lott mentioned that in our last issue!)?

Any golf course and the SEC tournament.
