Calhoun County appoints David Boyd to library board; local groups preview summer events
Summary
Commissioners appointed David Boyd to the Public Library Board and heard brief community announcements about 4‑H camps, Chamber events, and a Hall of Fame induction. A local substance‑abuse prevention representative thanked the sheriff and commissioners for recent support.
The Calhoun County Commission appointed David Boyd to a seat on the Public Library Board of Trustees that expires in October 2024 and heard community updates from several local organizations at its June 13 meeting.
Commissioner Howell moved to appoint Mr. David Boyd to the library board; Commissioner Patterson seconded and the motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
In public comments and announcements, Shane Robinson with the Agency for Substance Abuse and Prevention thanked Chairman Shears and Sheriff Wade for assistance with a recent event and said it was "a success." Dr. David West, County Extension Coordinator, said 4‑H camps would soon begin and noted increased traffic in the employee parking lot next week and that Beautification Board winners would be notified; Audrey Maxwell, Chamber of Commerce Tourism Director, highlighted summer activities at Choccolocco Park including youth baseball tournaments and the Choccolocco Monster baseball games; Jakob Williamson, Chamber Public Affairs Coordinator, previewed a State of the Cities event on June 21; and Ken Grissom, president of the Calhoun County Sports Hall of Fame, promoted an induction ceremony scheduled at the Oxford Civic Center.
Chairman Shears closed the meeting, saying it had been "a joy to serve" as chairman over the past nine and a half months. Commissioners voted to adjourn at 10:26 a.m.; the next meeting is scheduled for June 27, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.
Why it matters: The library board appointment fills a near‑term vacancy; the announcements provide residents and officials with event timing and public‑service updates.
