The chairman said the first agenda contract to be considered was an agreement to provide antibiotics for mental-health-related (MH) services retroactive to April 21; the sheriff and staff worked to secure medication for an inmate who needed treatment. The commission also listed a license agreement for installation of a camera at Lucy’s Marina on Bay Hill Drive for EMA weather monitoring and an agreement to sell up to 10 Kenworth T880 dump trucks through J.M. Woods Auction Company in June. County staff presented a budget revision for equipment funding and several personnel actions, including transfers and hires (for example, a transfer of a senior-center staff member to a floating manager role, and hiring of equipment operators pending drug screening). The commission noted a requested amendment to the maintenance grounds staffing plan to add one temporary grounds/facilities worker for the summer.

Engineer Mark Massey reported one subdivision matter for consideration: Abbey Brook Phase 3, a major final approval creating 32 lots in District 2. The transcript records presentation of these items and multiple routine motions on the agenda, but the excerpt does not record completed roll-call votes or final outcomes for all items in the work session record provided.

Commissioners recessed for a 15-minute break after discussing these items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 2, 2025 Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its May 2, 2025 work session, the Limestone County Commission reviewed several contracts, personnel changes and routine items that were placed on the meeting agenda for formal consideration.","taxTitle","taxId",13474,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6249883,"Resident questions sale of county properties and vacancy of buildings sold to private buyer",110,788000,898000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204549-a48c73735a7482ba9eedce6ba29a2ec7&start=788&end=898","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204549-a48c73735a7482ba9eedce6ba29a2ec7/thumbnail_788000.jpg","/articles/6249883/Limestone-County/Alabama/Resident-questions-sale-of-county-properties-and-vacancy-of-buildings-sold-to-private-buyer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249883-fac93d1f45274c24778374e49f9ac01d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160069&Signature=W9nBqocL0RzhP4wggCvJ0MpSPFMpGwHAApF8lfjPRois5B0Ck-m~W5dtgDkGvC6wGVIny4sw4niwH8MowJ8e1iZ5RsjwAJDFzDMRfOaPy9YTUNwBVH6oKj~hV2dnNNCTZNyUktGJh2tLpVz6KtHVG1xubtb2bJJNyQTLXPOUjWaLjeC8AcYj6fl16~A4NRZDDfzvMxlUeIO2i2P~wZdXzUo8JYqvKp69XZnQT0mt793IQNrz-nJjg8RKf3O65Pl0Y4389Z8P8ZCQMJCHCuwm1OKcSjhXRa2shzgshEMmCiUhWdciAqDGY39pmWjulx0GXQrbUD7F5n~vYdmuDHrnbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Amanda Schulte raised questions at the May 2, 2025 work session about several properties the county sold in 2021 that are now vacant or decayed and asked how the county oversees property sales and reuse.

Schulte said she learned that four properties were sold in August 2021 to an entity listed as Alliance HR for a combined $850,000 and that at least two buildings are now vacant and appear rundown. She said one of the properties had previously been used as a county utilities building. Schulte asked why multiple properties were sold and why only one was repurposed, and she said she would follow up with a written request for clarification.

The transcript records Schulte’s questions and that a commissioner offered to speak with her after the meeting, but it does not record a formal staff explanation, motion, or vote regarding the property sales during the session.","A resident asked the commission how county property sales are authorized after she found several properties sold in 2021 to Alliance HR are now vacant or deteriorating in Athens, and requested clarification on the county’s sales process.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6249889,"Resident urges Limestone County to repair narrow, eroding Liberty Way access road",84,640000,724000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204549-a48c73735a7482ba9eedce6ba29a2ec7&start=640&end=724","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204549-a48c73735a7482ba9eedce6ba29a2ec7/thumbnail_640000.jpg","/articles/6249889/Limestone-County/Alabama/Resident-urges-Limestone-County-to-repair-narrow-eroding-Liberty-Way-access-road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249889-fe1bca8017ddfe1daacbf8e2d706c71e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160069&Signature=kl1~2jIN0vYdUqFZioa3MrLhHIVew2A7CKjwJXQn3RQD6Wgglu~ZXC92GkE5O-cOqJg7dOlcxd3n5fUMF5yXzPDMcjVUlPeMzFUHulaPwOEer6~T47anTKA6tM~3h2AF7Fln94OcgSIS8-3wH5Y2LKYMQftpYk1G4xikQFCjoLPNDJV8GCC4AC05VucIsqIv7VhYFUn3u4MnFKgWMIW7wParNtBLJuD5huO6mXy6SWxnwZQSAip3GJov0RHxbMgz2X36mgiMrlyGKg8l0HVEB2MeX44TIffR970vk84N8arPF2EhcD1LucTsMv2yw5POoT6ETba6-ZRW6IN2EGf53A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sherry Clark told the Limestone County Commission on May 2, 2025, that Liberty Way — a single‑lane gravel access used by five households and visitors to Hatchet Cemetery — is dangerously narrow and eroded at a culvert, and she asked the county to complete promised maintenance.

Clark said Liberty Way measures about 13 feet wide in front of her driveway and narrows to less than 12 feet at the culvert with no shoulder or pull‑out space. She said the county’s road representative, identified in the record as Dennis, inspected the site more than a year ago, left a traffic cone and said a protective barrier would be installed, but the cone remains and erosion has worsened. Clark said she and her husband received a verbal assurance that “armoring and side rails” would be installed, but the work had not been done by the time of the meeting.

The transcript records Clark’s request for maintenance and states the matter has been reported to county staff, but it does not record a formal commission motion or a staff timeline for repairs during the session.","A resident told the commission the gravel access road to several homes and Hatchet Cemetery is eroding, dangerously narrow at a culvert and has not received promised repairs or armoring.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6249893,"Residents urge Limestone County to tighten land‑use protections after asphalt plant moved into a residential area",264,241000,505000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204549-a48c73735a7482ba9eedce6ba29a2ec7&start=241&end=505","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204549-a48c73735a7482ba9eedce6ba29a2ec7/thumbnail_241000.jpg","/articles/6249893/Limestone-County/Alabama/Residents-urge-Limestone-County-to-tighten-landuse-protections-after-asphalt-plant-moved-into-a-residential-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249893-6323afed5a0e9cbbf6a2afee6ff60261/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160069&Signature=O56rhf1bK5NOFWX7lxvgPLHAxwlKj7Aqjignw2Zq5~2KOqxOayPDrprEr7r1-Nv6o2NERW6pgFHLXotRN0tDYew5tVELyA1UFeGBfXbKwtfI0FJH6pX6Y83ahRabePa61WYviY6qrLnWs79MhO7EBvr0B1fDCBAfCLSLSk4q-PJMHWvzA5mwa1kNMyNcoSYTZhcTn6YFugAG80AfN~CUSQXQ~1sWpx9rEDNuJfifz7pOdqDbCSDwJrECd747cYBloyLYbCSaQS8Bch~ci-5u-mXRolpSVjpdNqq8rsAFYrreNa3NSRTM7S~B9~AU0~RMsWPzkeiRtjEF2LM5ucbG1w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents at the Limestone County Commission work session on May 2, 2025, urged commissioners to use county land‑use tools and to be more transparent about appointments to the Leading Limestone advisory group after an asphalt plant opened near long-established homes.

Kelly Dye told commissioners the plant, operated by Grayson Carter and Son Contracting Incorporated, has made life at her home difficult. “My daughter was frustrated because she couldn't even go outside to play because an asphalt plant that was built directly next door to our home … was being so disruptive with noise and vibrations that it was giving her a headache and literally making her body feel ill,” Dye said. She said the plant had been disruptive enough to prevent normal outdoor activity and that she believes the company has made repeated misrepresentations to residents.

Justin Dye, who also spoke, said the company expanded services around the plant to include repair and storage operations and heavy vehicle parking, and that the changes were legal because county controls are limited. “You can't break a law that doesn't exist,” he said, adding he is not alleging illegal conduct but urging the county to set clear rules for land use in residential areas. He framed planning as choosing “the lesser of two evils” between government oversight and unfettered private use of property.

Both speakers asked how members of the Leading Limestone advisory group were selected; Kelly Dye said she learned of the advisory board on Facebook and asked whether members were appointed or volunteered and whether any members have a financial stake in the current status quo. The transcript records these public comments but does not record a formal response from the commission at the session.

No motions or votes regarding the plant, zoning, or the Leading Limestone advisory group were recorded in the transcript. Commissioners and staff named in the public comments include the county attorney, identified in the record as Mr. Dill, and the company and CEO identified by residents as Grayson Carter and Son Contracting Incorporated and Houston Carter.","At the May 2 work session, residents raised health, safety and transparency concerns after an asphalt plant opened next to long-established homes.

The request matters because the memberships, Petrie said, guarantee zero out-of-pocket costs if a member is flown by one of the network’s providers in an emergency. “It guarantees zero out-of-pocket cost if anybody’s ever flown by one of our providers,” Petrie said, and he told commissioners a contracted agreement would offer employees about a 30% discount on membership pricing.

Petrie described the network’s coverage and an optional return-to-home add-on. He said the AirMedCare Network operates in 38 states with more than 320 air bases, and that within a 100-mile radius of the county there are roughly a dozen aircraft. He also described an optional a la carte add-on that, if purchased, would repatriate a member more than 50 miles from home after hospitalization.

The item was presented as public comment; no motion or vote to renew the county agreement was recorded in the transcript. Petrie left sample agreements, a payroll-deduction fact sheet and a coverage map with commissioners.

The transcript does not record further discussion, a formal motion, or a vote on renewing an agreement during the portion of the meeting captured in the record.","At the May 2, 2025 Limestone County Commission work session, a representative of AirMedCare Network asked the commission to renew a payroll-deduction membership agreement so county employees can again buy emergency air-transport memberships at a discounted rate.","actionData","errors"]
