Autauga County approves 50/50 cost-share MOU with Prattville for Old Ridge Road widening

The Autauga County Commission on June 3 voted unanimously to approve Resolution 2025-34, authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Prattville to split costs for the widening and resurfacing of Old Ridge Road.

The resolution authorizes the chairman and the treasurer/administrator to execute and deliver a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Prattville that will delineate responsibilities, liability and financial obligations for the joint project. The action followed a motion to suspend the rules and add the item to the agenda; both the suspension and the resolution passed by unanimous vote.

Commissioner Terry Tanner moved to approve Resolution 2025-34 and Commissioner Rusty Jacksland seconded. The minutes record that the commission authorized “any and all necessary representatives” to execute documents reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of the resolution.

The resolution does not specify a construction schedule, engineer-of-record, or total project cost in the minutes. The commission’s action delegates authority to execute the MOU; the minutes do not record the MOU text or detailed funding commitments beyond the 50/50 cost-share statement contained in the resolution language.

The commission entered executive session later in the meeting and reconvened; no additional public details about the Old Ridge Road project were recorded in the open minutes. The commission adjourned at 6:12 p.m.; the minutes show the next regular meeting scheduled for June 17, 2025 at 5:00 p.m.
