Commissioners adopt housekeeping resolutions, accept victim-assistance grant
Summary
The board readopted previously adopted tax-commissioner resolutions, assigned board of elections terms, and accepted a $170,340 victim-assistance grant with the 20% match waived.
At the start of the meeting, the Baldwin County Board of Commissioners moved through several administrative and housekeeping resolutions that county staff characterized as routine readoptions after a new tax commissioner was elected.
Actions taken
- Resolution 2025-01: Approved waiver of certain penalties and interest by the Baldwin County Tax Commissioner. Motion carried unanimously.
- Resolution 2025-02: Assigned responsibility to the Tax Commissioner for correction of certain errors, refunds, and removal of personal property from the digest. Motion carried unanimously.
- Resolution 2025-03: Authorized the Baldwin County Tax Commissioner's office to receive checks for property taxes and motor-vehicle registration and to reform the ordinance authorizing acceptance of credit-card payments. Motion carried unanimously.
- Resolution 2025-04: Accepted a Victim Assistance grant for the District Attorney’s Office in the amount of $170,340; the required 20% local match was waived, so the county had no match obligation for this award. The board authorized the chair to sign grant documents.
- Resolution 2025-05: Appointed Beau Dannusser as the county’s legislative liaison (county legislative office liaison), replacing the retired clerk Cindy Cunningham.
- Resolution 2025-06: Formalized terms of members of Baldwin County’s newly constituted Board of Elections and Registration (effective Jan. 1 per state law). The drawing results recorded in the meeting materials and formalized by the resolution assigned terms as follows: Natalie Fields – 4 years; Fernando Jones – 4 years; Tony Fraley – 6 years; Randall Moros – 6 years; Glenda Brown – 6 years. The board authorized the chair, county manager, county clerk and county attorney to execute additional documents required by the Secretary of State.
Why it matters: These items were presented as housekeeping and were approved without extended debate. The victim-assistance grant provides funding to the District Attorney’s office for victim services; staff said the 20% match requirement was waived for this award.
Ending
All housekeeping resolutions were adopted by voice vote with no recorded dissent noted in the meeting minutes.
