Madison County fiscal court adopts several zoning changes, approves emergency-management and property resolutions
Summary
On Nov. 25 the court adopted two second-reading zoning ordinances, approved multiple administrative resolutions (EMA siren removal bid, JIC deed transfer and MOU, media contractor), accepted first readings on two other ordinances, approved hiring recommendations and paid claims.
Madison County Fiscal Court members voted on a slate of ordinances and administrative resolutions at their Nov. 25 meeting, adopting two second-reading zoning ordinances and approving several operational actions.
Second-reading ordinances adopted: the court adopted ordinance 2025-013 to rezone 2719 Robbinsville Loop from UC-1 (single-family residential) to UC-4 (general business), and ordinance 2025-014 to rezone 119 Greens Crossing Road from UC-1 to UC-4. County planning staff presented both items and told the court the Planning Commission recommended them by unanimous vote; the court adopted each ordinance by roll-call vote.
Administrative resolutions and awards: the court approved resolution 2025-115 awarding a CSEP-funded bid to West Shore Services for removal, transport and storage of redundant outdoor warning sirens; approved resolution 2025-116 to transfer the deed for the Madison County Joint Information Center (about 0.93 acres at 558 South Keland Drive) from Madison County EMS to the fiscal court as part of CSEP closeout requirements; and approved resolution 2025-117, the memorandum of understanding that will allow EMS continued use of training rooms following the transfer. The court also approved resolution 2025-119 to contract with Landry Luxon Consulting as a freelance media content specialist.
First readings and scheduling: the court accepted first readings of ordinance 2025-015 (rezoning 107 Car Lane to UC-6 public/semi-public) and ordinance 2025-016 (rezoning three Waco Loop parcels from UC-7 to UC-4) for the record; the second readings are scheduled for the Dec. 16 meeting. The court also approved the 2026 fiscal court meeting schedule by resolution and set the next meeting for Dec. 16 at 9:30 a.m.
Personnel and finance: the court approved hiring recommendations presented by personnel staff, and moved and approved payment of claims and transfers by roll-call vote.
Roll-call voting: for recorded votes the minutes show the court taking roll calls with members (Master Lockmiller, Master Hughes, Master Bakken, Master Combs and Judge Taylor among those recorded responding "Yes" on multiple items); the transcript records unanimous approval on the items presented at the Nov. 25 meeting.
What this means: the adopted zoning changes amend the official county zoning map as directed by planning findings; the JIC deed transfer and MOU formalize county custody of CSEP-funded infrastructure while granting EMS operational use; the siren work will be done under a federal CSEP budget to a selected contractor, and the media contract funds multimedia support for county communications.
