Jackson County Commission approves courthouse change order, adopts minutes and holiday schedule
Summary
The Jackson County Commission on Jan. 12 approved administrative minutes, the 2026 holiday schedule and a courthouse structural change order that nets an $18,844 credit while adding roughly $9,091.37 in new work, and received the county's Rebuild Alabama annual report.
The Jackson County Commission on Jan. 12 approved routine administrative business and a change order for courthouse structural repairs while receiving the county's annual Rebuild Alabama report.
The commission voted to adopt minutes for the Jan. 12, 2026 meeting and the Dec. 22, 2025 work session and approved the county's 2026 holiday schedule, which mirrors the Alabama state schedule but retains a local tradition of observing Good Friday. The chair called the motions, each seconded, and announced they carried.
On a separate motion, commissioners approved a change order for courthouse structural repairs from P M C Construction that was reviewed and signed off by DMRH. The change reflects a credit of $18,844 for replacing permanently cast-in-place stanchions with movable stanchions and adds work — sound panels, signage materials and exterior basement drainage — that increased the contract by $9,091.37. The chair described the credit and the added items when calling for the motion to approve; the body voted in favor.
Staff also presented the county's Rebuild Alabama annual report, required by the 2019 Rebuild Alabama Act and tied to the county transportation plan. The presenter said most projects listed are complete; County Road 42 remains outstanding pending final markings, legends and pavement markers associated with the federal aid exchange fund project.
What’s next: The commission posted the annual report for public inspection and will include the Rebuild Alabama materials in the next meeting packet for formal acceptance and public posting as required by state law.
