Summary
The commission approved three hires, renewed a NAVSEA equipment-loan agreement for night-vision goggles, approved a bid to purchase six or more pickup trucks, scheduled a solid-waste public hearing and adopted traffic-safety goals tied to the SS4A plan.
At its Feb. 17 meeting, the Walker County Commission approved several administrative actions including personnel hires, equipment agreements, vehicle procurement and a traffic-safety resolution linked to the SS4A plan.
The commission unanimously approved hiring Tony Boshell as a mechanic for 120 days, William Wiggins as a heavy equipment operator/truck driver for 120 days, and Adam Files as a full-time heavy equipment operator, subject to successful payroll paperwork and civil-service drug testing.
County Administrator Amy Frederickson presented and the commission approved Renewal Agreement N00164LE1264-25 with NAVSEA for an equipment loan of night-vision goggles. The commission also approved Bid No. 868 to purchase six or more 2026 4x4 crew cab pickup trucks.
The board approved a motion to schedule a Walker County Solid Waste Management Plan public hearing at 9:30 a.m. on April 4, 2026 in the commission meeting room. County officials also adopted Permanent Resolution 2026-02-01.003, which sets traffic-safety goals for Walker County to be adopted in conjunction with the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) plan.
Commissioners used the discussion period to thank staff and nonprofit partners. Commissioner John Dunagan urged drivers to slow down around county crews, saying the workers “have families they want to go home to.” Chairman Steve Miller and other commissioners thanked nonprofit partners and county employees. The meeting was then adjourned into executive session to discuss personnel matters as allowed under the Alabama Open Meetings Act.
