Committee member invites public to courthouse historic marker rededication March 1

Lee County Commission · February 9, 2026

Summary

A committee member said the Auburn Heritage Foundation is organizing a rededication of the courthouse historic marker on Sunday, March 1 at 2:00 p.m. and invited historical societies and the public to attend; the announcement was made from the meeting and not placed on the formal agenda.

A committee member (S1) announced that the courthouse historic marker will be rededicated on Sunday, March 1 at 2:00 p.m. and said the Auburn Heritage Foundation is helping organize the ceremony.

Speaking from the dais, the committee member invited local historical societies, including Opelika’s historical organization, and any members of the public who wished to attend. "We're rededicating the, the historic marker out front for the courthouse," S1 said and encouraged anyone interested to come; the speaker said the item was not on the meeting agenda and characterized it as an announcement rather than an actionable agenda item.

The Chair (S2) and others discussed whether S1 needed to leave the meeting to make remarks at the ceremony; the Chair said S1 could make the announcement from the meeting instead of stepping out. The exchange made clear the rededication is a community event being coordinated with local history organizations rather than a commission action requiring formal agenda placement.

No permit, budget, or formal commission action related to the event was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
