Summary
The commission voted unanimously to authorize the chairman to execute a petition to annex Heardmont Park (parcel IDs 10 6 23 0 001 009.001 and 10 6 23 0 001 009.000) into the Town of Indian Springs Village; the action is intended to preserve the park's recreational use and enable town investment.
The Shelby County Commission on May 26 authorized its chairman to execute a petition to annex Heardmont Park into the Town of Indian Springs Village. Commissioner Lindsey Allison moved to approve Resolution 2026-05-26-06, Commissioner Robbie Hayes seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The resolution states that the Shelby County Commission and the Shelby County Board of Education jointly own the two parcels identified by Parcel IDs 10 6 23 0 001 009.001 and 10 6 23 0 001 009.000 and that the parcels are contiguous to the corporate limits of Indian Springs Village. The commission recorded that the town "invests, and will continue to invest, in projects that better Heardmont Park for the use and enjoyment of all residents of Shelby County and visitors into our county" and authorized the chairman to execute the petition so the parcels may be annexed while remaining in their current general use for outdoor recreation and current zoning use in perpetuity.
The commission also "encourages the Shelby County Board of Education to consider the execution of the same petition," according to the resolution text. The parcel address listed in the attached exhibit is Heardmont Park, 5458 Cahaba Valley Rd, Birmingham, AL 35242.
The vote was recorded as unanimous. The resolution directs county officials to execute and file the petition as appropriate; the transcript does not specify a timetable for the execution or further steps by the Town of Indian Springs Village.
Next steps: the chairman is authorized to execute the petition and the commission encouraged the county board of education to join the petition process; any formal annexation will proceed according to state law and the town's processes.
