Madison County Fiscal Court — Nov. 25, 2025 — The court approved multiple items tied to the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness (CSEP) program closeout.

EMA recommended awarding a contract (resolution 2025‑115) to West Shore Services Inc. to remove, safely handle, transport and store redundant outdoor warning sirens located throughout Madison County, not to exceed budgeted CSEP amounts. Chief said the county expects to store electronic components inside the Emergency Operations Center or the airport storage building; the court authorized the judge executive to execute the contract.

On related CSEP work, Jill presented Resolution 2025‑116 to transfer deed of the Madison County Joint Information Center (JIC) from Madison County EMS to Madison County Fiscal Court so the county will hold the decommissioned infrastructure as required by the CSEP closeout. The county will obtain a survey for the roughly 0.93‑acre parcel and execute a deed transfer; as part of the transition, Madison County and Madison County EMS will execute a memorandum of understanding (Resolution 2025‑117) granting EMS exclusive use of most training and operational space (except coroner space) while ensuring the site remains for public‑safety purposes. The court approved both resolutions and authorized execution of related contracts and MOUs.

Court members discussed the federally funded CSEP closeout messaging (paid entirely from CSEP) and reported that signups for county emergency-alert systems increased after the outreach; Jill said the federal program covered those communications and no Madison County funds were used.
