Madison County supervisors approved the remainder of the consent agenda and several supplemental appropriations, and they approved a separate motion waiving disposal and permit fees for renovations at the Madison American Legion Post 157.

After pulling the Dec. 23 minutes for abstentions, the board voted to approve the remaining consent items by voice vote. Consent items included three supplemental appropriations: use of opioid settlement funds for county purposes, a small $76.91 EMS medical supply contribution closing item, and supplemental appropriation No. 23 to replace the circuit courthouse water heater. Mooney Frazier, Facilities and Maintenance Manager, discussed the heating options and recommended a tankless system; he said it was roughly $10,000 cheaper than a conventional 100‑gallon tank and carries a 15‑year warranty, with rebuild kits costing generally under $1,000.

Mike Fisher, commander of the Madison American Legion Post 157, described extensive renovations funded largely by Walton Trust grants and requested that the board waive tipping fees and related permit fees during phase 2 of renovations. Fisher and staff outlined phase‑completion timing; the board discussed a reasonable sunset date for a waiver and set a target of Sept. 1 as an expiration if needed. A board member made a motion to waive the disposal and associated permit fees for the Legion’s current project phase; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

No individual roll‑call tallies were recorded in the public minutes for these voice motions; the board recorded motions, seconds and voice‑vote outcomes on the record. Staff said the courthouse water‑heater appropriation is time‑sensitive to avoid damage to court infrastructure and that CIP tracking will reflect the change.

The board moved into other items after those votes and scheduled follow‑up on several projects and ordinances during future meetings.
