Cullman County Commission approves resolutions, permits and routine purchases
Summary
At its meeting the Cullman County Commission approved a resolution to set deputy coroner pay, supported a request to transfer maintenance of a county railroad segment to ALDOT, authorized vendor payments and event permits, and approved equipment and vehicle purchases on consent or voice vote.
The Cullman County Commission approved several routine resolutions, contracts, permits and purchases during its meeting.
The commission approved Resolution 2025‑22 to set deputy coroner pay. On that item an official on the record said, "The current pay scale is $20 a day, 25 dollars a cap cut off. It's been that way 12 years or longer because I got involved in this 12 years ago and it was that way. And as the call volume increases and I have to rely on another help to help me cover these calls." The resolution was passed by voice vote.
The commission also approved Resolution 2025‑23, a letter of support asking the original legislation to seek transfer and maintenance responsibilities for a segment identified in the agenda as "Canada Railroad 2" to the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The transcript records the commission authorized the letter of support; the resolution makes no guarantee ALDOT will accept the transfer.
Other authorized items included a payment of $20,001.25 to Shane Melinton for courthouse flooring; an agreement with the Elsie Rees Foundation to host "Ride Over a Cure" at Stoney Lawson OHV Park March 7–9, 2025; and use permits for the Cullman County Courthouse south parking lot for events on April 1, April 6 and May 30, 2025 (Carless Coffee, Northbrook Church and an event described as Swamp Johns' assignment for seniors, respectively). The commission also approved placing an "American 250 Patriot Project" at Veterans Park sponsored in the transcript by a local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The commission awarded bid number 1477 for concrete pads to Hood Brothers Concrete LLC and accepted a quote from South Eastern Laundry for one UNIMAC washer and one UNIMAC dryer totaling $23,804.64 for the Cullman County Jail. The commission approved two State‑bid 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 fleet 4‑wheel‑drive trucks for the water department at listed prices of $48,250.12 and $48,003.95. The commission also authorized a payment listed in the minutes as for the Cullman County Detention Center in the amount of $16,625.
The commission approved a revised agreement with Ameritech for the revenue department to reduce monthly cost and voted to rescind a cooperative road maintenance agreement between Cullman County and Winston County. The transcript records these actions as motions approved by voice vote during the meeting.
The transcript does not include roll‑call vote tallies for these items; approvals are recorded as voice votes. The meeting adjourned after commissioners set a work session and the next commission meeting for March 18, 2025.
