Summary
The Chilton County Commission approved its agenda and several routine items Feb. 10, including a $1,007.75 Chamber map ad, payment of tractor invoices, a rescue‑squad road repair estimated at $8,600, and a survey of surplus parcel 19061411 for possible sale; an executive‑session request was deferred.
The Chilton County Commission met Feb. 10 and approved its agenda and a series of routine administrative items, taking action on local advertising, equipment invoices, road maintenance and a land survey for possible future sale.
The commission unanimously approved the meeting agenda as amended and passed the consent agenda, which included minutes from Jan. 27, a claims list for Feb. 10, a change to animal control operating hours, authorization to submit a Petco Love grant application and personnel adjustments. Commissioner Bone moved to approve the consent agenda and Commissioner Childress seconded.
Staff requested a $1,007.75 resolution to place an ad in the Chilton County Chamber map; Commissioner Perkins moved approval and the motion passed with Commissioners Headley and Williams recorded as opposed. The commission also approved payment of invoices from Thompson Tractor; the vote recorded six in favor and Commissioner Childress abstaining.
Commissioners approved a motion from Commissioner Headley to repair the access road to the rescue squad building, using option 2 at an estimated cost of $8,600 to be funded by a transfer from the general fund to the gasoline fund.
The board also authorized a survey of a portion of surplus parcel 19061411 (bordering Highway 22 and County Road 721) to prepare the parcel for possible sale; Commissioner Perkins moved the survey, and the item passed with Commissioner Haley recorded as opposed. Commissioners debated whether proceeds from any future sale should be retained by the parks department, with differing views expressed about uses for the funds.
The commission considered a resolution to enter a non‑financial agreement with the County Department of Human Services to participate in a jobs program; a motion and second were made but no recorded vote or outcome appears in the portion of the transcript provided.
Chair members also announced that Senator Kate Britt secured $3,850,000 for the county airport to extend its runway to 5,000 feet. Later in the meeting the commission voted unanimously to suspend the rules in order to consider an executive‑session placeholder; Commissioner Hall had requested an executive session to discuss ethical duties, but the county attorney advised that discussion of commissioners’ duties is not permitted in closed session under the cited rules, and Hall agreed to consult counsel and defer further action.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
