The agenda identifies the business as \"TCBC Development Company Incorporated, DBA Big Creek Brewery located at 100 Magnolia Way, Cottonwood, Alabama 36320.\" The meeting record contains no public comment or staff presentation on the license application, and no conditions or contingencies were recorded in the transcript.
Separately, the commission approved a motion to sell miscellaneous office furniture and supplies (agenda Item 11), moved by Commissioner Ivy and seconded by Commissioner Adams, and approved by voice vote. The transcript does not list the specific furniture items or the sale mechanism beyond the general motion.
Why it matters: Business licensing enables the brewery to operate within county jurisdiction; surplus sales remove county property from inventory and may generate modest revenue.

The commission approved appropriating $174,688 in 2025 bond proceeds to the Town of Taylor for improvements to the town's recreation park, and passed resolutions tied to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for Grove Street and Hickory Grove Street in Cottonwood and for road improvements at the Dothan Industrial Park.
Why it matters: The bond allocation provides capital for municipal park upgrades in Taylor; the CDBG resolution and industrial park road improvements are intended to support local infrastructure, traffic access and potential economic development.
The park appropriation motion was moved and seconded (motion by Commissioner Haynes, second by Commissioner Ivy) and approved by voice vote. The CDBG resolution for Grove Street in Cottonwood passed after a motion by Commissioner Adams and second by Commissioner Nuney. A separate resolution for road improvements at the Dothan Industrial Park was moved by Commissioner Herring and seconded by Commissioner Seiden and approved by voice vote.
During the staffreport portion, the county engineer noted a single road closure: Bill Yance Road at Pleasant Crossroads, and indicated scheduling for repairs (the transcript notes the road closure but gives no dates or timelines). The transcript does not record detailed project scopes, contractor names, grant award amounts beyond the listed bond appropriation, or implementation timetables for the resolutions.
All votes were taken by voice; the transcript records motions, seconds and the chair's call for 'aye' with 'Motion passes' but provides no roll‑call tallies.
Next steps and reporting requirements were not specified in the meeting transcript; project scheduling, bidding and contracting will proceed through county and municipal staff processes as dictated by procurement and CDBG rules.","Commissioners approved appropriating $174,688 in 2025 bond proceeds to the Town of Taylor for recreation park improvements and passed resolutions for Community Development Block Grant street work in Cottonwood and road improvements at Dothan Industrial Park.",{"_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},6173321,"Houston County approves sheriff truck purchase, vehicle repairs, and surplus vehicle transfers",136,1268000,1404000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382730-c37fafc8c184303fa4329aa4ad06480c&start=1268&end=1404","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382730-c37fafc8c184303fa4329aa4ad06480c/thumbnail_1268000.jpg","/articles/6173321/Houston-County/Alabama/Houston-County-approves-sheriff-truck-purchase-vehicle-repairs-and-surplus-vehicle-transfers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6173321-161439e8fa49b16196a6c9a3ee4d07da/orig.mp4?Expires=1770895373&Signature=ZwSqmU-r1q4LHKYb1ciXoec0hSQxGPDkA2JohOjxBMGTRiTR0E5CmasyVC5Knu4rIe7kUZYPskcMV-FmPaDc3S8YqLf3nM9RIs3trvt5Yg-e1BprYDjeIPyBpo8bwFBOmQwkrx9SUarEjFw9CPtCr~muW~awXxtinfkhB4XV9qvutIER3qM67ajxrDZuBRKfUBVni9tK~2XbaWcVzfk9ki~mahhBBhaVDgJNqEQgRveYxgEOv~qVVovJFdvn-Ly7OXjh1wbbEIskzLkT2Cr6wQcYraSq3zcMr~75JBMYNF8DAHicRuv0LPUhhaB45Y7GknuD~i~xobwMNQgNP1TVbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Houston County commissioners approved several actions related to county fleet and surplus property, including the purchase of two heavy‑duty Chevrolet trucks for the sheriff's department, a budget amendment to cover insurance‑reimbursed repairs, authorization to sell multiple county vehicles at auction, and donation of two 2010 Chevrolet Tahoes to volunteer fire departments.
The commission approved a contract award for two Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD trucks at a combined price of $138,745.40 to the lowest bidder meeting specifications; the purchase will be paid from the sheriff's discretionary funds, according to the agenda item.
Commissioners also approved a budget amendment totaling $72,337.65 to record repairs to a damaged county vehicle that will be reimbursed by insurance funds. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
The county authorized the sale of several vehicles at Minco Auto Auction, listed in the agenda as a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado, a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2018 Kia Stinger; the motion passed by voice vote.
On a separate agenda item, commissioners amended the wording of a surplus declaration and approved donating two 2010 Chevrolet Tahoes — one to the Hodgesville Volunteer Fire Department and one to the Southern Junction Volunteer Fire Department. The amendment and the amended donation motion were both approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: These actions change the county's fleet composition, allocate insurance reimbursement, and transfer assets to volunteer fire departments, affecting emergency response resources and county equipment budgets.
Recorded procedure: For each item, the transcript shows a motion, a second and a voice vote concluding with 'Motion passes.' No roll‑call vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
No substantive debate or conditions were recorded in the transcript regarding specifications, delivery timelines, or vehicle condition. The transcript does not record who will manage auction logistics or the expected auction dates.","The commission approved purchase of two Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD trucks using sheriff discretionary funds, a budget amendment for insurance‑reimbursed vehicle repairs, authorization to sell several county vehicles at auction, and donation of two 2010 Chevrolet Tahoes to volunteer fire departments.",{"_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},6173325,"Houston County Commission reappoints airport authority member, appoints health board nominee",42,1185000,1227000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382730-c37fafc8c184303fa4329aa4ad06480c&start=1185&end=1227","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382730-c37fafc8c184303fa4329aa4ad06480c/thumbnail_1185000.jpg","/articles/6173325/Houston-County/Alabama/Houston-County-Commission-reappoints-airport-authority-member-appoints-health-board-nominee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6173325-df1c91fd29fd5c8e67acec28b977ec05/orig.mp4?Expires=1770895373&Signature=k9OX~SdGpUr2PGbxI~~rUj80u5sM2ny~e9U3pBcJMN~Kspqv8-GzIAMZ3DwVBepERnW~bkX2n15GDFoG4rQbiOftNyQyrjxYfz3mrfC0KtQxjxjvKppWd6IEW~u5vhvJea87ssp04Ko2oCail1rAdgWP~hb1IoRZjyoGsBQM91f~iGmL9V8jmxWK2bQ78bXElxPhDYQiEdoc1rbZx1Y8S3SHxDrkja~AtHgCHIUa8N6M8u81v-yTsWmazDwLfiLkK0Oht-dLMKHUJ3qefaDprujSQ40jiEZckCFzdcZf1jjGqGLiVk~1vczlai8hD0KMgaWr7UOwBLJ5NS8y0WxNWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Houston County commissioners approved two personnel actions during their meeting, reappointing Hain Hawes to the Dothan Houston County Airport Authority and appointing Chris Sutter to the Houston County Health Care Authority.
The actions came as separate agenda items. The commission moved and seconded both measures and approved each by voice vote.
Why it matters: These boards oversee local airport operations and county health‑care governance respectively; membership affects oversight and local representation on those authorities.
The commission first considered a reappointment to the county's airport authority. A motion to reappoint Hain Hawes was made by Commissioner Harry and seconded; commissioners voted in favor and the motion passed.
Later in the meeting Commissioner Ivy nominated Chris Sutter to fill a vacancy on the Houston County Health Care Authority. Commissioner Ivy moved the appointment and Commissioner Herring seconded. The commission voted to approve the appointment by voice vote.
No public roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes; each item was approved after the commission heard a motion, a second and a voice vote. The transcript does not record debate, conditions, or dissent on either appointment.
Looking ahead, the new and reappointed members will take their seats on the respective authorities and participate in upcoming board schedules and decisions; the meeting did not set or announce start dates for the appointments.","The Houston County Commission approved the reappointment of Hain Hawes to the Dothan Houston County Airport Authority and appointed Chris Sutter to fill a vacancy on the Houston County Health Care Authority, both by voice vote.","actionData","errors"]
