Residents urge opposition to reopening Red Hill Road landfill during Bay Minette council meeting
Summary
Several residents of the Red Hill Road community told the Bay Minette City Council they oppose the Baldwin County Commission's plan to reopen the Red Hill Road landfill and move a county transfer station to that site; Mayor Wills encouraged residents to attend Baldwin County Commission meetings on the issue.
During public comment at the Sept. 5 Bay Minette City Council meeting, residents from the Red Hill Road community expressed opposition to the Baldwin County Commission's plan to reopen the Red Hill Road landfill and to relocate a county transfer station from Nicholasville Road to that site.
Emily B. Ryan, Tim Murray and Danny Collier each addressed the council and spoke in opposition to the county's plans. The minutes record that the speakers represented residents of the Red Hill Road community and voiced concern about the proposed changes; the meeting record does not include verbatim quotes.
Mayor Robert A. Wills responded to the comments, encouraged the residents to appear at Baldwin County Commission meetings about the matter and did not state a formal position for the city in the minutes. The council did not take any formal action related to the landfill at this meeting.
The minutes show the city council provided residents the opportunity to raise county-level concerns during public comment but did not record further discussion or direction to city staff on the landfill issue. Residents were urged to engage directly with the Baldwin County Commission, which has jurisdiction over county landfill operations.
