We have a motion and a second. Any more discussion on that? In the way of discussion, I want to thank you for, if you'll notice, the last three items here, they're all different. They're all different things, a pipeliner project, a crack seal project, a preservative project. All those come through clay. Clay looks at these roads and can help make a determination of what will help that road. And many times it's, When you help that road, we're still tied to federal government if we ask for a match. If we hadn't done certain things on those roads, then we're not going to get the match. And I…

Do I have a motion to donate those? Motion to second. Properly moved and seconded. Any discussion? In web discussion, do we still have our old maps? I've been here so long I'm so old in 1986 if you brought up a motion in the county commission meeting to make a road at such and such a county road and it got a motion and it got a second and we debated it and we passed it well then the engineer goes back to the office and pulls out a little thin drawer and he pulls out the map that's got that on it and he draws that road in there if it's not already on there with a pencil And to make sure that…
I just knew where we came from. We're using them on two roads right now, right? OK.
That's the only way we know where. Some of these roads are county roads. They literally were drawn in with a pencil and a C put across the line. Or a P for private.
If you want to go in there and you haven't looked at those, go in there and look through those a little bit. You sure we're out of it while we're not getting rid of them. Yeah, there you go. It's the only way we know. Those C's and P's are older than Clay. Can I motion a second on giving the old county highway construction plans to the archives? Does that have any more discussion? All in favor say aye. Opposed no. Motion carries. Thank you Clay. Any more questions for Clay? Moving on now to Tina Morgan our county administrator.
Did he find that out before or after he went out? After. He found out after the fact. Wipers didn't work.
Well, we tried. I have a motion from Commissioner Parker. And a second from Commissioner Stevens. Any other discussion? Do we have any other broke down vehicles we'd like to give to the car? Discussion all in favor say aye. All those no. Motion carries.
Any of the commissioners have any questions for the county administrator? If not, our county attorney, Kirk Walker. Thank you.
if we use it okay it's dated it's old it's old because it would have been the one that was installed when the it's one of those right on the side of the building there next to right out the window from dma out there I'm sure it's operational because it's it's there but do that with no downtime though yeah
The reason I brought that up is we might want to consider again having an alternate about including the switch. That's the way. You're only talking about $8,000 or $10,000. I think that's the way you're doing it anyway. Yes, sir. About that.
Thank you, Kurt. Moving on now in the report section, starting off the report from the chairman, I won't be but just a minute or two, but I did want to clarify some things.
I know, but y'all could have talked all you wanted to. I just wanted to point out some things that I've checked on some of this from both a legal standpoint and just an operational standpoint. And these don't require an answer or anything right now. It's just something for you to think about as a commission. The commission as a whole, the chairman and the four commissioners in St. Clair County serve as the commission ruling body, for lack of a better term, of St. Clair County's funding and our funds and the way they're spent and that sort of thing. But I want you to think about who oversees…
District 2, I know I left something for Ricky Parker.
That's all. Okay. Moving on to District 4. I don't have anything. All right. Going into old business here, we've got considered requests from another Dollar General store, Mountaintop Loop.

And moving on now to item two, consider the FY27 municipal contract and fees for central dispatch and emergency management. Got those laid out there. Let's see if we've got a motion and second first before we discuss. Do I have a motion? So moved. Second? Second. Properly moved and second. Now, any discussion?…
In the future not this time it might be that we would want to communicate with the mayor's association and have a meeting about may could do that address that directly so that's that's probably probably the way we can we can get more more feedback into that so am I correct the fees are going to be the same as what was provided in the work session 27 what we had on the thing okay okay
All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed, no. Opposed, kids. OK. Moving on now to item number three. Before we have folks disappear on us, we might want to ask some questions.

Get it down to Fort Strother. That's right. That's about as far as I believe it would make it. You'll have some great adventures in it, I'm sure. There you go. OK. I also want to recognize our probate judge, Andrew Weathington, who snuck in the back door back there. Appreciate you being here. And if we don't do this right, would you tell us after the meeting?
