## Resource

Birminghams mayor, Randall Woodfin, has decided not to sign an updated city ordinance aimed at enhancing safety at late-night bars and clubs. The ordinance, named after Kelvyn Felder, a twenty-one-year-old stabbed to death at a club in 2009, would have required safety plans, security cameras, trained guards, and state-certified officers. However, bar owners have expressed concerns about the extra costs, fearing it could shut down popular spots. Woodfin has decided to rework the ordinance, engaging with business owners, safety experts, and council members to ensure safer nights without killing the citys vibrant nightlife.
