Mountain Brook Daily Brief – February 7, 2026

Good evening, Mountain Brook

Here’s a quick look at what’s happening around Mountain Brook on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from city hall to school sports and the weekend forecast.

City hall: Looking ahead to a busy week

The city’s calendar shows a full slate of meetings next week, including a Board of Education session and a City Council meeting on Monday, February 9. Those gatherings continue the city’s focus on long-term planning, public safety and quality-of-life projects.

Recent updates from city leaders highlight how Mountain Brook is preparing for roughly $30 million in capital needs over the next decade and a half, from infrastructure improvements to park and facility upgrades. A one-cent increase in the local sales tax, set to take effect on April 1, 2026, is earmarked to help fund those projects while preserving the city’s traditionally conservative financial posture.

Schools and youth sports

Mountain Brook Schools’ calendar lists a Board of Education work session and regular meeting Monday afternoon at Mountain Brook High School. Families can also look ahead using newly posted academic calendars for upcoming school years, which outline key dates for breaks, testing windows and graduation.

On the athletics side, Mountain Brook Soccer Club has opened spring 2026 registration for its recreational program, welcoming players from age 3 through high school. All practices and home games are set for fields at Mountain Brook High School and Brookwood Forest Elementary, giving local families a convenient option to keep kids active close to home.

Recycling and household cleanup

The city recently partnered with county agencies and other groups on a Household Drop-Off event at the Birmingham Zoo, scheduled for January 31 with February 7 designated as a weather backup date. The event offers residents a way to responsibly dispose of electronics, televisions and documents that shouldn’t go in regular household trash, reinforcing ongoing efforts around environmental stewardship and neighborhood cleanliness.

Weekend weather

After a sunny but cooler Saturday with highs in the upper 40s, temperatures are expected to drop into the 20s overnight under mostly clear skies. Sunday should bring a return to milder conditions, with sunshine and afternoon highs climbing into the upper 50s, making it a good window for a walk on local trails or a visit to one of the villages if you bundle up.
