Montgomery County Commission approves road resurfacing, appropriations and reappointments; moves to executive session
Summary
At its March 11, 2025 meeting the Montgomery County Commission approved several road-resurfacing agreements with the state, a land sale, routine financial items and a package of appropriations and reappointments before moving into an executive session on economic development.
The Montgomery County Commission on March 11, 2025 approved a series of routine agenda items including agreements for road resurfacing, a sale of county property, multiple appropriations and several board reappointments, then recessed into an executive session on economic development.
The actions approved included: an agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation to fund resurfacing of Failure Road from Wiesden Road to U.S. 80 (Item 3); resolutions to resurface Trotman Road from Woodley Road 2.6 miles east to U.S. 231 (Item 4) and Marler Road from State Route 110 North 4.5 miles to State Route 8 (U.S. 80) (Item 5); and the sale of a 6.6-acre lot at the Montgomery County Industrial Park East (Item 7). Each item was placed for approval, received a second where recorded, and the commission voted to carry the motions.
The commission also approved routine governance and financial items: minutes of the February 2025 regular meeting (Item 1); accounts payable and payroll checks (Item 2); a budgeted position change (Item 6); adoption of procedures for public records requests (Item 8); and county levies for alcohol licensing for 2025 (Item 9). Travel and training requests from appraisal, community corrections, detention, finance, sheriff, tax and audit, and the youth detention facility were approved (Item 16).
The panel confirmed several board reappointments: Bridal Anderson to the Montgomery County Community Local Redevelopment Authority (Item 10); Alma Bowen to the Mount Meigs Volunteer Fire Protection Authority (Item 11); and Jimmy Grubbs to the Pike Road Volunteer Fire Protection Authority (Item 12).
The commission approved a package of miscellaneous appropriations to community agencies (Item 13) with the meeting record listing the following allocations as additions: $1,000 to Women in Training (from Chairman Singleton); $1,500 from Commissioner Sankey to Aaron Wood; $1,500 from Commissioner Sankey to the Chisholm Improvement Association; $1,500 from Commissioner Sankey to the Uptown Neighborhood Association; and $2,500 from Vice Chair Carmen Moore Ziegler to the I LEAD program (the transcript records I LEAD as administered through health and families). The commission also approved miscellaneous appropriations to education (Item 14) and appropriations from designated revenue (Item 15); specific line-item details beyond those noted above were not specified in the meeting transcript.
Most motions were handled with routine procedure—"Move for approval," a second, and "Motion carries"—and the transcript does not record roll-call tallies for the votes. Where a mover or seconder was not named on the record, the items are reported here as approved per the meeting minutes language.
After completing the listed agenda items, the commission recessed into an executive session to discuss economic development. County officials additionally heard a severe-weather briefing from emergency management personnel; meeting remarks included discussion of potential severe weather and public-safety response ahead of forecast storms.
