JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Jackson County Commission Meeting

Yesterday was a regular meeting of the Jackson County Commission. The agenda is posted below.


Significant Issues: 1) Dustin Mount selected for a Building and Grounds Custodian position 2) Personnel Board member Mr. David Kennamer resigned to be replaced by Mr. Bob Matthews. 3) County Rd 693 to be vacated, Mr Porter says public hearing is to be held concerning the issue. 4) Demolition of the County Annex building discussed concerning disposal of building materials. It was stated in accordance with the agreement with the City of Scottsboro that all construction waste must be disposed of at Scottsboro's landfill. A discussion ensued stating the construction waste could be used as fill at sites around the county. It is illegal in the State of Alabama to utilize construction debris as "fill" for building projects. Commissioner Stone stated to me that the project contractor would determine if their were any hazardous materials present such as asbestos.
