County staff said the update states the county and city will split maintenance and utility costs roughly 50/50. The memorandum will be followed by a separate agreement with Premise that will come before the commission for action. County staff also provided a detailed binder summarizing operations and projected costs for commissioners to review.

Commissioners asked whether the property would be jointly owned once constructed; county staff advised the parcel will be owned by the City of Montgomery and not jointly titled to the county. Commissioners pressed for clarity on how the county’s significant construction contribution will be accounted for if the county is not a property owner.

Several commissioners noted the county’s current building — the one the county will vacate — carries a substantial maintenance backlog and liability. One commissioner said that, while the new facility is an asset to city and county employees, alternatives such as leasing or buying existing space had not been fleshed out in the discussion packet.

Staff said the MOU and the subsequent agreement with Premise will include a further breakdown of the 50/50 maintenance and utilities arrangement once the Premise contract is finalized and returned to the commission for approval. No formal vote or final action on the MOU is recorded in the transcript.

The commission will receive the formal Premise agreement and the detailed cost breakdown before taking a final vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Montgomery County Commission Information Meeting 7-8-25","oneSentenceSummary","Montgomery County commissioners reviewed an updated memorandum of understanding with the City of Montgomery that outlines construction and shared maintenance responsibilities for the Premise facility.","taxTitle","Montgomery County, Alabama","taxId",2535,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6744300,"Commissioners agree to move multiple law-enforcement grant items to next agenda as agencies pursue JAG/Adeca and COPS funding",268,917000,1185000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8&start=917&end=1185","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8/thumbnail_917000.jpg","/articles/6744300/Montgomery-County/Alabama/Commissioners-agree-to-move-multiple-law-enforcement-grant-items-to-next-agenda-as-agencies-pursue-JAGAdeca-and-COPS-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6744300-8608d54cf70eb0ece945a643fde95c0d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770452779&Signature=NzFiuoF4qrKdHAWWnZkRKXe~EbqKV4ew-TIsYvlpt7nVGHMjogbjpSnSxOvXo7EMBPUooDjTjBKGaqLLW6-zMSZElejY85n-p-7qlBjyJnfPd2rt2sZs19XBUZ4enJhYbYJxRfKNllZIwpIwI7ObYjd8sA3tlLc8-qfaWLg4tthq9ZZqdfr0LwRUImlfMXcGxtiUEgYolTU45Fit2qI1Dq1lr~mCH5U25NmLoSykkPMrmwQoE5Shqe~ObkgyEYyh6fB2TPDFVmKlhuI2dRE~cYiQILpAcV8QW83Ayc7XWIbsARNBnhJNxYpV2RFZ1~TjzRDa0gRTizyUurHYmc-j6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County law-enforcement leaders briefed commissioners on several time-sensitive grant opportunities and asked that the items be placed on the next formal agenda to meet application deadlines.

Chief Murphy described a recently announced JAG/Adeca equipment funding opportunity that would pay for expansion of the Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) and NIBIN operations. Murphy said the RTCC has been expanding since its opening and that a move to the Carnegie Building would allow a larger footprint, bigger displays and room for more camera feeds. Murphy told commissioners the equipment-focused grant would not fund personnel and that similar technology has aided apprehensions by enabling operators to track suspects across multiple feeds.

A county representative outlined a companion Adeca personnel request to fund a prosecutor assigned exclusively to child-victim cases and an hourly legal support assistant for 12 months. The representative said Adeca awards up to $150,000 per purpose area and the district attorney’s office would seek other funding sources after the grant ends to avoid general-fund impacts.

Separately, commissioners raised concerns about a COPS hiring grant the commission previously approved by waiver rule; consultants reviewing the grant identified a limit (about $125,000 per deputy per quarter) that changed the county-match calculations. Staff said the consultants were engaged under an existing grant-management contract and that corrected calculations were emailed to commissioners when the issue was discovered.

Because grant submission deadlines are imminent, commissioners agreed to add the grant requests to the next formal agenda; no award decisions were made during the meeting.","Sheriff's office and other county law-enforcement leaders described competitive grant opportunities to expand the real-time crime center (RTCC), NIBIN operations and to fund a prosecutor dedicated to child-victim cases; commissioners accepted placing grant requests on the next formal agenda because application deadlines are imminent.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6744305,"Montgomery County staff brief commissioners on expanded Alabama interlocal mutual-aid agreement",68,408000,476000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8&start=408&end=476","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8/thumbnail_408000.jpg","/articles/6744305/Montgomery-County/Alabama/Montgomery-County-staff-brief-commissioners-on-expanded-Alabama-interlocal-mutual-aid-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6744305-5cd2a8c677fb2d9ce778da96c85d26da/orig.mp4?Expires=1770452779&Signature=eeR9d5jRMf~YHHLrsfW2hX5RFDWWjzNZg3ZzI4nndfjBbKOcp0yd6IWeeliY-G9u4PlD8FJ8FfObirtZCdqM~axKJzYqR0V22dtan6YmqIPsSd4hOtmsLgZ2xSJoDIgqFPmRLyUCCQPgViprExVYc3IZVONvq8dug3yOVjohdUOFqfmsoR529CQl26RrcMLf6xQweahZU3mHu1AoaiheiJCUpsO7MHevju~pIGF3HKBh1N93OB352SLTcHOiGujgerXMCCrh1jbFY-wR7Fw30qYe8e7VhvW8IvX9dtFDBs8e2SarzYE0RMJHSZ-c52vAyLpIZmNVSUloI7AcQtVoig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wade of the county Emergency Management Agency briefed commissioners on an updated Alabama interlocal mutual-aid agreement that removes a previous restriction requiring a declared emergency for mutual assistance.

Wade explained the update allows entities to assist one another in nonemergent situations by agreement and reiterated that participation and the provision of aid are voluntary. He used the example of mutual support during Auburn football game days as an existing practice that the updated agreement now expressly accommodates.

Commissioners asked questions and offered praise for the clarification. No formal vote on the agreement appears in the transcript; staff presented the update as informational and available for the commission’s consideration in a future action.","Emergency Management Agency representative described an updated mutual-aid agreement that removes the requirement that assistance occur only during declared emergencies, allowing voluntary nonemergency assistance between entities; participation and provision of aid remain voluntary.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6744310,"Commissioners question $1 million ARPA interest transfer and seek audited Whitewater financials",113,692000,805000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8&start=692&end=805","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8/thumbnail_692000.jpg","/articles/6744310/Montgomery-County/Alabama/Commissioners-question-1-million-ARPA-interest-transfer-and-seek-audited-Whitewater-financials","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6744310-b66f60b953666c2ee7018046c692de7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770452779&Signature=NweAwFgcGGw5U8JJQ-6T0Q3DYgZY1su8eoGtnbqunX2nGixnv973zRGck0M2ynbptNGJPpUfUqkQYm7VvR~Mv-9eGJBQs4N-VNRAcEdeGj8mAV79X8ZnF-ldXcaZAXJHV~salA3EUb9qSDu0E6Lt33QKLI89wRNsT~fBVXx9vA5rFTzZ4t02sgPwHxGFHB2Sypju661os0-UHl4bpzAXOx7Cc8b5TYwcNHjvu2bCZUD5hzgE7esFp-AtQkfEHFcPnAwQAX0GiDgDqskdakYamwED1AeEwb39dK4hhWv2jgNLw1k56ImmlmOCvGZFluqqAvBTpW9-fWs8PvgY4honwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners asked county finance staff detailed questions after a proposal surfaced to transfer $1,000,000 in interest earned on ARPA funds to the Montgomery County Community Cooperative District.

A commissioner asked for the principal amount of ARPA funds from which interest was earned, over what period the interest accrued and whether the interest is held in a restricted account. Finance director Juan explained that ARPA funds are coded to a separate restricted fund and that interest accumulates when the money sits in that account. When asked whether interest has stipulations, Juan said there were no stipulations attached to the interest income.

Commissioners also asked for audited financial statements for Montgomery Whitewater, an entity in which the county has invested. Staff offered to arrange a meeting with Whitewater’s accountant and noted that Montgomery Whitewater board meetings are open to the public and posted in advance.

No formal transfer or vote is recorded in the transcript; staff agreed to provide additional financial materials and an opportunity for commissioners to review Whitewater’s financial statements.","The commission discussed a proposed transfer of $1,000,000 in interest earned on ARPA funds to the Montgomery County Community Cooperative District and sought audited financial statements for Montgomery Whitewater, citing heavy county investment.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6744296,"Tax office files 2024 insolvent personal-property list with commission; staff explains lien process",116,290000,406000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8&start=290&end=406","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5349030-ca67d51229868c62d4f3f95400f2b9e8/thumbnail_290000.jpg","/articles/6744296/Montgomery-County/Alabama/Tax-office-files-2024-insolvent-personal-property-list-with-commission-staff-explains-lien-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6744296-475e7eca06eb230cd2f5477ffa832b5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770452779&Signature=B8N4XJy~Q2rYcFoYwMmRC7PRUibSiZ5sEOz0uYORUd7LsQIyTNqEBL1iEh~4XafKdoOik8JkEoxF2-ncBTHOnpVzds3G4V8NbYiNKUlh2lwqftLl-SHxhr2tVmpAap42HtNtCvfm5UkEc-AZTaesTQWLB6hEq6M15569fhbpsEn6rN6h-DDkXq45DiCe2X-gLmZEFPyhCMPWETtluDJblUTCs-PyUJ4P88kDDJFa4QFw2e6dyoW3We5s7UNhCKcqrQUFC1kTpXjktIW~lh-iWijG4OXR-KJhsyKJpooTTFd47HXD6JlLcLxPEyyxny4fdMFVaEv9o08TQAQlorBnMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Allison from the county tax office presented the 2024 annual report of insolvent personal-property taxes and explained the purpose of the list: submission for final settlement with the state comptroller and to enable county lien filings.

Allison said the list represents taxpayers who did not file or pay their 2024 personal-property taxes. She explained the county typically files liens after settlement and that lien filing helps collection because entities with liens face difficulty securing business credit and licenses. Commissioners asked whether most of the listed accounts are later collected; Allison said the county is able to collect most of it after liens are filed.

One commissioner noted a named business appeared on the insolvent list and said the commission should consider the business licensing implications if a lien exists. Allison and other staff took questions and indicated the report is routine and required for state settlement; no formal action appears in the transcript.","Allison from the tax office presented the annual list of insolvent personal-property accounts the county must submit for final settlement with the state comptroller and explained the office’s process for filing liens and typical collection outcomes.","actionData","errors"]
