Mark said the planning items included Guthrie Estates (minor preliminary and final, creating 10 lots in District 1), a replat titled Thomas W. Holland Subdivision (minor preliminary and final affecting four lots in District 3) and a Broadway/Eazale Road replat (replat of Lot 2 dividing it into five lots in District 3). Mark also told commissioners that herbicide spraying work has begun and will continue as weather permits.

Why it matters: The subdivision actions, if approved in future steps, change property lot counts and may affect local development patterns and service needs. The announced community services affect resident access to waste disposal and hazard-collection events.

Community-service and operational announcements

County staff announced a free trash day for residents on April 5 from 7 a.m. to noon at the lift station on Highway 72; district crews will operate trash-collection sites in several locations. The chairman also said county leaders will participate in a renaming ceremony for Highway 127, to be designated the Tommy Carter Highway, on the 25th of this month.

On hazardous-waste collection, staff said the county typically holds a spring hazardous-waste event in partnership with KALB and that they will coordinate with Claire (staff) to confirm a date; the county budgets a line item each year for hazardous-waste collection.

Details from planning presentation

- Guthrie Estates: Minor preliminary and final plat creating 10 lots, District 1 (presented by county engineer).

- Thomas W. Holland Subdivision: Replat of tracts 5, 6, 7 and 15; minor preliminary and final affecting four lots, District 3.

- Broadway/Eazale Road replat: Replat of Lot 2 dividing into five lots, District 3.

Mark reported that herbicide spraying is underway and will proceed as weather allows. The commission did not record substantive deliberation or final approvals of the plats in the provided transcript excerpt; Mark presented the items for consideration and the chairman invited questions, none of which led to extended debate on the record.

Ending

The commission closed the planning items and moved to other business after announcing the free trash day and the highway-renaming event. Staff thanked county employees, the sheriff's office and emergency-management personnel for their work responding to recent weather, and the meeting record notes the session adjourned until a later scheduled date.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 17, 2025 Work Session","oneSentenceSummary","At the March 17 work session, Limestone County's county engineer presented three subdivision plats for consideration.

The approvals included a resolution and a letter agreement related to a 2025 \"a trip 2\" project, an engineering agreement with Morrell Engineering for ALDOT-related CE&I services on Airport Road and a new roadway at Pryor Field tied to \"Project Fox,\" and a work-release employer agreement with ADOC. The commission also authorized the chairman to negotiate contracts with a job-salary consulting firm and approved two DHR board appointments.

Why it matters: The items advance local infrastructure work, county staffing and board composition without recorded formal roll-call votes; staff said the measures were adopted after no commissioners raised objections.

The commission opened the work session, asked for public comment and heard none. The chairman then moved through routine business items. When the chairman asked whether anyone had issues with the minutes from March 7, claims, or the other agenda items, no commissioner objected, and the chairman proceeded to record them as approved by unanimous consent.

Discussion and supporting detail

County staff described the Morrell Engineering agreement as ALDOT CE&I services related to right-of-way improvements and construction tied to Airport Road and Pryor Field for \"Project Fox.\" The transcript records no substantive commissioner debate on the contracts or agreements beyond staff presentations and no opposing comments.

County Engineer Mark (identified in the meeting as the county engineer) said of one procurement: \"That pole hardware is the hardware to attach the fiber to get fiber out to the P25 Tower out in West Limestone.\" The comment was made while the commission reviewed bid items for recycling facility work and pole hardware.

Appointments and personnel

The commission moved to appoint Christy Veil and Austin Pike to the DHR board to fill the terms of departing members Tracy Sherrell and Patrick King/Patricia King; the meeting record lists both new appointees and the outgoing members but does not include a roll-call vote. County staff presented three personnel transactions and a list of merit increases; commissioners raised no objections.

Process notes and next steps

Several items — including the ALDOT-related engineering agreement and the ADOC work-release contract — involve outside agencies and will proceed under the terms negotiated with those agencies and firms. The chairman was authorized to finalize contract terms where required. No formal roll-call votes or tally sheets were recorded in the transcript; the meeting record shows approvals by unanimous consent when the chairman solicited objections and none were raised.

Ending

The work session closed after the chairman moved through remaining agenda items and announcements, including a later adjournment time noted in the record.","At its March 17 work session, the Limestone County Commission approved $1,493,389.75 in claims and a series of project agreements, personnel moves and board appointments by unanimous consent after minimal discussion.","actionData","errors"]
