Meeting roundup: Autauga County approves opioid settlement, SPS agreement, and multiple hires
Summary
At its July 16 meeting the Autauga County Commission approved an opioid settlement with Kroger (amount not specified in the minutes), authorized several personnel hires and budget transfers, and approved an accounts-payable agreement with Strategic Payment Services (SPS) by a 4–1 vote with one abstention.
The Autauga County Commission on July 16 approved a series of administrative actions, including an opioid settlement with Kroger, multiple personnel hires and replacements, several budget transfers, and an agreement with Strategic Payment Services (SPS) to add a virtual-card accounts-payable capability.
The minutes record that the motion to approve the opioid settlement with Kroger carried by unanimous vote; the minutes do not specify a settlement amount. The commission also approved routine budget transfers to the gasoline budget and the sheriff's gasoline accounts to cover June fuel usage and authorized surplus and destruction of three sheriff's office 32-inch monitors.
Personnel actions approved during the meeting included conditional hires pending background checks and drug screens: Charles Driscoll as Deputy Sheriff (to replace a terminated employee), LaTonya Taylor as a part-time driver, Kenterrius Carter as a truck driver, Michael Varden and Jeffrey Thigpen as Operator IIs, and Stephen Bland as Chief Mapper/GIS Administrator effective Aug. 5, 2024 to replace retired staff member Connie Scott. The commission accepted the resignation of Trace Davis and voted to advertise to fill the Laborer I position. The commission also rescinded the previously approved hiring of James Wright (Operator II). All personnel motions recorded in the minutes carried by unanimous vote unless otherwise noted.
The commission approved a motion authorizing the administrator to enter into an agreement with Strategic Payment Services (SPS) for an accounts-payable virtual card program; the minutes record the motion carried by a 4'to'1 vote, with Commissioner Rusty Jacksland recorded as abstaining. The meeting adjourned at 5:32 p.m.; the commission reconvenes August 6, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
Where the minutes omit specifics (for example, the opioid settlement amount), this report states that information as "not specified" because it does not appear in the minutes.
