The Cleburne County Commission recorded several formal approvals during the meeting:
1) Economic development authority draft forwarded to legislature: The commission voted to forward a draft act to the legislative delegation establishing a Cleburne County Economic Development Authority, removing subsection c (redirecting-tax language) before transmittal.
2) Secure Rural Schools (SRS) reauthorization letter: The commission approved sending a letter signed by the county chairman to U.S. Representative Mike Rogers asking him to consider cosponsoring HR 5030 (and noting companion S 2581), citing Cleburne County's annual SRS receipts and potential budgetary shortfalls if the program lapsed.
3) Surplus of county equipment: The commission authorized surplus of multiple items requested by the county engineer, including survey equipment, rotary cutters (Woods 10-foot rotary cutters), trailers (7-by-16 and 7,000-lb), and other listed assets; staff will follow surplus procedures.
4) Speed limit change on County Road 81 (Kano Road): After extended discussion about narrow road widths, enforcement, and whether to adopt a countywide policy rather than piecemeal resolutions, the commission approved a resolution to reduce the posted speed limit on Kano Road (County Road 81) to 35 mph.
Votes were taken by voice; the public transcript records affirmative responses from commissioners present. Where documented, staff noted follow-up steps such as transmitting the legislative draft to the delegation, sending the SRS letter to Representative Mike Rogers and the school board, processing equipment surplus through county procedures, and notifying the sheriff and engineer regarding the speed-limit change.
Ending: Staff were directed to carry out transmittals and to prepare any necessary budget amendments or implementation steps for the approved measures.
