Two Madison County Commission committees meet Tuesday, Nov. 3, and the county has posted the agendas on its meeting calendar. The meetings are on the same day as the statewide election.
Property Committee, 10 a.m.
The Property Committee meets at 10 a.m. in the Board Room at 310 N. Parkway in Jackson. The listed members are Chairman Carl Alexander, Jeff Wall, Karley Bond, Tony Neihoff, Juanita Jones, Mike Bryant and Tina Mercer. The agenda calls for an opening prayer, public comments, approval of minutes and an election of officers. The committee is also scheduled to appoint one member to the Education Vision Committee, where Claudell Brown is listed as the incumbent. Old business includes a report from the 310 N. Parkway sub-committee. The committee will then take up surplus property and any other matters.
Budget Committee, 11 a.m.
The Budget Committee meets at 11 a.m. in the same Board Room. Its agenda also begins with an opening prayer, public comments, minutes and an election of officers. The committee will appoint two members to the Education Vision Committee, with Mike Bryant as an incumbent and one vacant seat. New business includes approval of postage meter contracts for Finance, for Circuit Court and for the Courthouse. The committee will also consider budget amendments from the Sheriff's office, the Emergency Management Agency, Elections, Highway, Drug Court and the School Department.
Why committees matter
County committees review items before they reach the full Madison County Commission. Items approved in committee commonly go on to the full commission for a vote, but the agendas do not say when that will happen.
Where to find the records
The county's website posts the calendar, agendas and committee information. The commission page says minutes not found on the website can be obtained through a public records request. The calendar also lists a commission agenda review on Oct. 15 and a county legislative body meeting on Oct. 19, both at 310 N. Parkway. The agendas do not include dollar amounts for the budget amendments.
