Madison County supervisors approve plats, appointments, floodplain update and opioid settlement participation

The Madison County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 6 approved a slate of administrative and land‑use items including subdivision plats, board appointments, an updated floodplain ordinance and county participation in a national opioid settlement.

Board members voted to accept revised plats and preliminary plans for two subdivisions — a 10‑lot Crossroads Subdivision along existing county roads and a large preliminary layout for the Woodgate project — and to approve final plat steps where noted. The board also approved appointments to several local boards and a professional‑services contract for work on the county’s historic courthouse project.

The board adopted a revised floodplain ordinance to incorporate updated federal requirements from FEMA, and authorized the county administrator to sign documents enabling Madison County to participate in a Target opioid settlement expected to bring the county roughly $15,000; county counsel said about 85% of settlement funds must be used for opioid‑mitigation programs. The board also approved routine budget amendments, claims and payroll dockets.
