Summary
At its June 29 meeting the board approved minutes, renewed the indigent defense agreement, appointed two library trustees, approved a CDBG water contract award, authorized an EMS billing services contract, renewed a senior-center food service contract and approved FY2025 budget amendments among other routine actions.
The Madison County Board of Commissioners voted on several items during its June 29 meeting. Key outcomes included:
- Approval of minutes from the April 18, 2026 regular meeting and the June 1 agenda-setting session (motion by Commissioner Chandler; second by Commissioner Adam; approved by voice vote).
- Approval of renewal of the indigent defense agreement with the Circuit Public Defender Office of the North Judicial Circuit (motion and approval during meeting).
- Appointment of Grant Maro and Chad (name recorded as Chad Lick/Lighter in packet) to the library board of trustees on the board’s motion and vote.
- Approval of a revenue-sharing agreement with the Rotary for splash-pad banner sales and authorization to process an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Danielsville for splash-pad service-area water responsibilities (motions approved).
- Award of a CDBG-funded contract for domestic water and fire suppression on Griffith Road, Shady Lane and Northwood Circle to a recommended contractor (AMT recommended; winning bidder recorded as Vintage/Aven/Venish Soul in the packet); commissioners approved the resolution and discussed an anticipated August start.
- Authorization to enter a contract with Emergency Billing LLC for ambulance billing services; board agreed to proceed with a contractual arrangement with a one-year re-evaluation clause.
- One-year renewal of the senior-center food service contract with Madison County Food Service (no price changes reported).
- Approval of FY2025 budget amendments as consolidated by the county auditor, including recognition of a $149,000 reimbursable ARPA-funded courthouse renovation entry and related special revenue adjustments; motion carried.
Where vote tallies were not read into the record, the board used unanimous or rolling voice votes and recorded individual “yes” votes for several motions. The board did not adopt any moratoriums or ordinances at the meeting; it directed staff to prepare drafts (for example, regarding the water tower conveyance options) and to return with more information where requested.
Commissioners instructed staff to circulate additional details (precinct-level election numbers, draft conveyance/lease language for the tower) as follow-up.
