The Alabama Joint Study Commission on Public Notice of Title 39 convened on September 30, 2025, to address key issues regarding the posting of completion notices and to approve minutes from the previous meeting.
The meeting began with a discussion about the requirements for posting completion notices. A member raised a question regarding whether these notices must be published specifically by the awarding authority or if they could be posted on a more general website. The language in the law was referenced, indicating that notices could be published on a website utilized by the awarding authority. This interpretation was deemed broad enough to encompass various posting methods, including links to completion notices on the awarding authority's own website.
Jason, another member, confirmed that he did not foresee any issues with this interpretation, which was met with agreement from the group. The discussion highlighted the importance of clarity in communication regarding where completion notices would be posted in the future.
Following this discussion, the commission moved on to administrative matters. Due to the virtual nature of the meeting, a roll call was deemed unnecessary as all members were listed. The minutes from the previous meeting were presented for approval. After a brief call for edits, the minutes were unanimously approved with no objections.
Before adjourning, a member identified himself as representing another individual, ensuring proper documentation of attendance. The meeting concluded without further business, marking a productive session focused on clarifying public notice requirements and maintaining accurate records.
