Commission hears routine personnel, claims and planning items; Dollar General notice, cemetery authority nominations and courthouse panels discussed
Summary
County staff presented multiple administrative items to the commission, including proposed hires and reclassifications across departments, an added Everbridge claim, a public-hearing advertisement request for a Dollar General in Marbury, nominations for a cemetery authority and a quote to move engraved courthouse panels.
County department heads presented a series of routine but substantive administrative items during the meeting, and commissioners discussed next steps.
Commission office staff said they will present a resolution at the next meeting to advertise and hold a public hearing for a proposed Dollar General store in Marbury. The commission office also reported pay increases and reclassifications for the commission office, and a request to move a regularly scheduled meeting date (noting April 27 was a state holiday and recommending April 23 instead).
Staff asked that Everbridge (an emergency notification system vendor) be added to the claims list because a purchase order had not been included previously; the requested claim number on the meeting record was 11/01/6033 (listed as Everbridge). The commission office framed pay increases as budgeted transfers and said these would move into long-term investments as provided by policy.
The commission opened nominations for the Chilton County Cemetery Rehabilitation Authority and discussed whether to expand the board size. The commission had earlier passed a resolution setting the authority at five members; commissioners said they could amend the resolution to expand the body to seven if more nominees are available. Derek Scott, identified in the meeting as the Chilton County historian, spoke about participating in the authority.
Multiple department heads presented personnel actions that will be included on the consent agenda at the next meeting: Parks and Recreation requested full-time hires (Ashley Byrd and John D. Childress) and a waiver of dust (pay item) effective Oct. 11; Transit requested a reclassification of Jacob Davenport to full-time transit dispatcher, new-hire Virginia Patterson and Title VI documents for signature and submission to the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT); Animal Control presented several hires and a reclassification for Anna Brooks to assistant director and wage adjustments; the Road Department presented hires, reclassifications, step increases and project updates (stripe work, fiber-optic contractor damage repair and a bridge previously found to be not county-maintained after court action).
Commissioners also discussed a vendor quote to remove and relocate eight engraved marble history panels from the current courthouse to the new courthouse. The company quoted $11,192 to remove and transport panels; commissioners noted that installation would likely be a separate change order and that a specialty contractor warned there is no guarantee against breakage and that a damaged panel would be the countys responsibility. Commissioners said any actual contract would have to go through the county's project manager and general contractor (PVA and Brasfield & Gory were mentioned as parties to the new courthouse project).
None of the consent or administrative items were finalized by vote at this meeting; department heads said resolutions and agenda items would be presented at the next meeting for formal approval.
