County Commission Proclaims Military Appreciation Week
During the November 12th meeting, the County Commission proclaimed November 9-15th as "Military Appreciation Week" in Montgomery County. Chairman Todd Strange read a resolution that recognized the contributions of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, in particular, members of the military community who have offered selfless sacrifice and service at home and abroad to protect our freedom. The Commission also acknowledged the invaluable contributions of the families of the servicemen and servicewomen and recognized their great sacrifices, as they support their loved ones’ courageous efforts to preserve liberty, justice and equality.
Lt. General Allen Peck was present to receive the resolution, as presented by Chairman Strange. “We at Maxwell know that each week is Military Appreciation Week here in Montgomery County. We truly appreciate the hospitality and the support we receive every day from the community,” Peck said.
Montgomery County Commissioners meet with Lt. General Allen Peck and members of Maxwell to support the resolution.

Generous Donation Allows County to Construct Snowdoun Park
In December, the Montgomery County Commission accepted a donation of 7.42 acres located adjacent to U.S. Highway 331 in the Snowdoun community from Dr. H. Winston Pirtle, Sr. The generous land donation has afforded the Montgomery County Commission the opportunity to create a park for residents of the Snowdoun community.
Preliminary plans for the park include a 12’ multi-purpose trail 1/2 mile in length, pavilions, children’s playground, and other amenities.
“The Snowdoun Park will be such an asset for the residents in the Snowdoun community. As a Commission, we feel strongly about developing nice outdoor facilities for our citizens to enjoy with their families and as a place for the entire community to gather. We are currently constructing two additional parks in the county for this very reason,” said Vice Chairman Elton N. Dean, Sr.
The County Commission has pledged $140,000 to the project and hopes to receive a grant for the remaining $100,000 needed to construct the new park. The construction is becoming a community-wide effort. Snowdoun residents recently held a fundraising event to add restroom facilities and other amenities to the park. Individuals interested in making a donation, may contact the Snowdoun Volunteer Fire Department at 288-5050.
Preliminary drawings of the Snowdoun Park show the 1/2-mile walking trail and playground area of the 7.42 acre park.

Montgomery County’s Freedom Forums Reach over 3,000 Fifth-Graders
During the first three months of 2007, more than 3,000 Montgomery County fifth-graders will converge on the campus of Faulkner University to participate in “Freedom Forums” thanks to the Montgomery County Commission and Montgomery County Parks & Recreation Department.
The Freedom Forums program features guest speakers who talk to students about the importance of making good choices, character, and patriotism, as well as the dangers of drugs and violence. This year marks the 12th year Montgomery County officials have sponsored the event.
“I am proud to say that the Montgomery County Commission was instrumental in launching a program of this magnitude for our children. We believe in this program and the long-lasting effect it has on young students. It is so important to reach these children at a pivotal age to encourage them to make the right choices,” said Jiles Willams, Jr.
Thirteen years ago, then Montgomery County Parks and Recreation Superintendent Felix Norman approached Pete McCoy, President of Freedom Forums, Inc., about tailoring a program specifically for Montgomery County’s fifth-grade students. Since the early 1980s, Freedom Forums programs were designed for 8th-12th grade students. Norman, a retired principal, recognized the need to reach children at an earlier age with the crucial message Freedom Forums provides. McCoy began developing the new program, and once completed the Montgomery County Commission and Montgomery County Parks & Recreation Department provided the financial support to bring the idea to fruition.
According to McCoy, the success of the pilot program in Montgomery County has opened doors for the program across the state.
“This program has been hugely successful. The students love it. The teachers love it. Montgomery County Public School teachers have chosen us as a premiere destination for their students, rating us as their first choice for field trips,” said McCoy.
Commissioner Jiles Williams, Jr., addresses approximately 1,000 Montgomery County fifth-graders at January’s Freedom Forums event on the campus of Faulkner University.

County kicks off new wellness initiatives in new year
As an added focus of the county’s wellness initiative, the County Commission recently offered county employees, retirees, and their spouses an opportunity to participate in the Weight Watchers AtWork program at a discounted rate. The county’s sponsorship of the program allowed individuals to join for only $60.
Currently, 50 people are participating in the 12-week session of Weight Watchers AtWork. Each week, a trained Weight Watchers leader travels to various sites including the County Courthouse, Youth Facility, and Engineering Substation in Ramer for lunch hour meetings with participants.
According to County Risk Manager Scott Kramer, these types of wellness programs “allow employees to become more health conscious and could affect the county’s overall healthcare plan.”
Studies prove that even a 10% weight loss will result in lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, risk of stroke, and diabetes.

James Williams named Parks & Recreation Superintendent
With over 20 years experience in the field of parks and recreation, James Williams is well suited for his new role as the Parks and Recreation Superintendent for Montgomery County. Williams’ duties will include overseeing the six current county parks and construction of future facilities.
Prior to working with Montgomery County, Williams served in various roles at the City of Montgomery’s Parks and Recreation Department for 22 years, most recently as the Athletic Superintendent.
As head of the county’s park system, Williams has plans to launch new programs to increase public awareness of the park facilities.
“We have some great facilities, and we want to make sure everyone knows what a great place these parks are for spending time with their families,” said Williams.
Each of the county’s existing parks have playground equipment for children, 1/4 mile walking trails, pavilions for picnic use, and barbecue grills.
“I hope to plan special events for each of the communities around our park locations including Easter Egg hunts, Shamrock hunts, Flag Day cookouts, Garden Club events, Arts & Crafts fairs, concerts in the park, and many other things,” said Williams.
The Montgomery County Commission currently has park sites in Flatwood, Grady, Lapine, Pine Level, Ramer, and Waugh. Construction is underway in Pintlala and Catoma. The county is also adding a walking trail to the current Flatwood site.
Williams also hopes to form walking clubs to utilize the 1/4 mile walking trails at each park location.
“Alabama is second in the nation in regards to obesity. I’d love to launch walking clubs to promote better health for our citizens,” said Williams.
Williams received his bachelor of science degree in physical education/recreation from Alabama State University in 1984. He and his wife Yvonne have one son Christopher.

Officials Offer $10,000 Reward for Information on Recent Cases of Arson
At a December 1st press conference, Commissioner Reed Ingram joined with Sheriff D.T. Marshall and representatives of the Pike Road Volunteer Fire Department to seek the public’s help in identifying those responsible for multiple attacks of arson in the Pike Road area.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. The Montgomery County Commission and the Town of Pike Road have each offered $5,000.
Anyone who has information is encouraged to call the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 832-2569.
In the past four days, two fires have ravaged homes in the late night and early morning hours. One of those has been confirmed as arson; the second is still under investigation. According to the Pike Road Volunteer Fire Department, a total of six cases have occurred in the Pike Road area within the past two months; a string of 13 cases of arson have occurred in the past 13 months.
The two most recent incidents occurred on Monday, Nov. 27, at 9 p.m., on Old Pike Road and on Thursday, Nov. 30, at 12:10 a.m., on Pike Road. The two residential units sustained moderate to heavy damage from the fires.
The State Fire Marshall’s Office is assisting the Pike Road VFD in investigating the fires. The Montgomery Fire Department’s investigative unit is also assisting in the investigation of the fire on Pike Road.
Mike Green, Chief of the Pike Road Volunteer Fire Department, said this week has been tough on his 43 volunteer firefighters. The Department covers a 94-square mile radius in the southeastern corner of Montgomery County.
Sheriff Marshall answers questions from reporters at the December 1st press conference while Commissioner Reed Ingram and Pike Road VFD Fire Chief Mike Green look on.

Commission Authorizes Repairs to Pintlala Library
At its special call meeting today, the Montgomery County Commission approved a contract with Pierce Roofing, Inc., to repair damage at the Pintlala Branch of the Montgomery City-County Public Library System.
When an F1 tornado hit the Pintlala community, portions of the library’s roof were torn off. A tarp was secured to the roof that day while the Commission waited to receive estimates from insurers. The total cost for repair is $15,040, approximately $800 less than expected. Construction is set to begin tomorrow.
The Commission is still assessing the damage to the interior of the building but plans to submit those items for bid and begin repairs within the next month. Their primary concern has been stabilizing the exterior of the building to prevent any additional damage internally.
Immediately following the storm, Vice Chairman Elton N. Dean, Sr., and Commissioner Reed Ingram assisted librarians in moving books to other parts of the library as the rain poured through the damaged roof. Because of their quick response, many of the books were salvaged. Many others including additional Commissioners, Sheriff’s Deputies, County Engineering staff, Volunteer Firefighters, and area residents also reacted quickly and began clearing debris throughout the Pintlala community.

Governor Bob Riley Tours Storm Damage
Governor Bob Riley joined with Vice Chairman Elton N. Dean, Sr., and Commissioner Reed Ingram on Thursday, November 16, to tour the damage left by an F1 tornado that hit the rural Montgomery County community of Pintlala just one day before. The tornado damaged the Pintlala Elementary School, Pintlala Library, and several local businesses.
The Governor met with many of the local residents, encouraging them in their rebuilding efforts, and joined the Commission in holding a joint press conference that night.
Dean and Ingram informed the Governor that many lives were saved because weather sirens throughout Montgomery County warned the citizens of the danger, allowing them sufficient time to seek shelter before the tornadoes hit. The Montgomery County Commission has placed weather sirens in 17 locations in the rural parts of Montgomery County and plans to install more in the coming year. Governor Riley expressed his desire to donate five additional sirens to the County Commission.
“We are committed to doing everything we can to protect our citizens. The Montgomery City-County EMA office was on top of this storm situation and because of their quick actions, lives were saved. We were truly blessed that no one lost their life in this storm,” said Vice Chairman Dean.
Governor Bob Riley addresses the media during a press conference at Pintlala Elementary School. Pictured with the Governor are (l to r) representatives of the State Emergency Management Agency, Representative Thad McClammy, Vice Chairman Dean, and Commissioner Reed Ingram.

County Commission Launches Construction of Detention Facility Expansion
The Montgomery County Commission marked the launch of construction of the Montgomery County Detention Facility expansion on October 16. During the ceremony, members of the Montgomery County Commission, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, and Montgomery County Public Building Authority signed their name to a piece of concrete that will be sealed into a wall of the expansion, serving as a time capsule.
Need for Expansion
The current detention facility was constructed in the late 1980s as a 305-bed facility. As the inmate population grew over the next 20 years, the temporary solution was to double-bunk each housing unit, which they did in 2004. However, the inmate population continued to rise. In early 2005, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was forced to send inmates to four other counties (Lowndes, Wilcox, Pickens and Clay County). On July 18, 2005, the Montgomery County Commission approved the long-awaited detention facility expansion.
Specifics of Expansion
The $47.3 million expansion will add 696 beds to the current 305-bed facility, giving the county’s detention facility a total of 1,001 beds. With a projected 168,737 square footage, the new facility will be located on the corner of Adams Avenue and South McDonough Street in downtown Montgomery across from the current detention facility. An overpass at the northern end of the existing building will connect the two.
Projected staffing needs for the expanded facility call for 66 additional officers. The county recently approved the addition of 33 officers in the 2006-2007 budget and expects to add the remaining officers in the 2007-2008 fiscal year.
Construction will begin this month and is expected to be completed in 2008.
County officials prepare to sign the time capsule at the construction launch
for the detention facility expansion.

County Commission Officially Opens Montgomery Industrial Park
On October 2, the Montgomery County Commission officially opened the new Montgomery Industrial Park, located in East Montgomery on TechnaCenter Drive. Also in attendance were former Commissioner Lynn Gowan and former Commission Chairman Bill Joseph, who were instrumental in securing approval for the project at its inception.
The property represents an $11 million investment by the County, in cooperation with the State Department of Transportation. In 2000, the Montgomery County Commission purchased 345 acres adjacent to Interstate 85, with plans to develop the land as a high-end industrial and office park and create jobs for the region.
Through a development agreement with Industrial Partners, a 130,000-square-foot speculative building is under construction, and ProEthic Pharmaceuticals recently opened its new headquarters on the property. Along with these two developments, Lamar Advertising broke ground on its new facility, and Medical Place has an option on a parcel of land for construction of its new building. In conjunction with the grand opening festivities, Lamar Advertising held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new facility, and ProEthic hosted an Open House featuring a tour and reception.
Strange credited a cooperative spirit for bringing the Industrial Park to fruition. “Economic development crosses all lines – City lines, County lines,” he said. “It’s a regional issue.”

Montgomery County Commission Encourages Citizens to Vote in Support of “The Alabama Limited Self-Governance Act”
At its October 17 meeting, the Montgomery County Commission adopted a resolution encouraging citizens to vote in support of “The Alabama Limited Self-Governance Act” during the November 7 general election.
“We believe our citizens should have the opportunity to have local decisions made on the local level without waiting for the Alabama Legislature to make those decisions,” said Chairman Todd Strange. “This new law will allow that to happen.”
“The Alabama Limited Self-Governance Act,” also known at Act 2005-200, gives rural citizens the opportunity to allow their county commissions to make decisions locally regarding basic health and safety issues. The act does NOT give the county commissions the authority to levy taxes or establish planning and zoning.
“If citizens who live inside the city limits of Montgomery or the Town of Pike Road experience a problem related to health and safety, such as unsanitary sewage, they can call their mayor or city councilmen who has the authority to act in response to their complaint. However, those citizens who live outside the unincorporated areas have no one to go to, because the county commission does not have the authority to rectify that kind of situation,” said Strange.
If passed, the referendum will authorize the county commission to exercise certain health and safety powers in the unincorporated areas of the county related to issues such as unsanitary sewage, litter and rubbish, and junkyards among others.
In June, voters in five Alabama counties (Autauga, Dallas, Jackson, Marshall, and Mobile) had the opportunity to vote on this act, and all five counties overwhelmingly passed the referendum. In November, citizens in 12 more Alabama counties will have the same opportunity. Those counties are: Bibb, Cherokee, Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Escambia, Macon, Madison, Monroe, Montgomery, St. Clair, and Tuscaloosa.
The Montgomery County Commission will host public informational meetings to further explain this referendum and answer any questions citizens may have. The meetings will be held at 7 p.m. at the following locations:
Monday, Oct. 23 Dunbar-Ramer Elementary School
(56 Naftel Road, Ramer)
Tuesday, Oct. 24 Rolling Hills-Lakes Volunteer Fire Department
(6120 Trotman Road, Montgomery)
Thursday, Oct. 26 Pintlala Baptist Church.
(73 Federal Road, Pintlala)

County Makes Plans to Renovate Former Montgomery Advertiser Building
“We need space. We’re just busting at the seams,” said Commissioner Dimitri Polizos, during discussions to decide whether to renovate the former Advertiser building.
Fellow Commissioners agreed and decided to add the $17 million project in with the county’s bond issue for the $55 million detention facility expansion.
Total renovation cost will be approximately $13 million. An additional $4 million will be used to construct a parking deck and purchase furnishings.
The renovated building would create a “one stop shop” for Montgomery County citizens. Residents would be able to visit this one location to pay taxes, purchase licenses, tags, and visit County Commission meetings. This move would free up space in the current administrative building, located on Lawrence Street directly across from the former Advertiser building, to allow the Sheriff’s Office, Revenue Commissioner’s Office, Probate Judge’s Office, and District Attorney’s Office much needed space.
“I’m glad we’re moving forward with this project,” said Commissioner Polizos, who initially offered the idea to renovate the vacant building.
Construction is set to begin by the Summer of 2007 and expected to be complete by Summer 2008.

Pintlala Library Celebrates 10 Years
Area residents and local officials, including Commissioners Elton N. Dean, Sr., and Reed Ingram, gathered together recently to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Pintlala Branch of the Montgomery City-County Public Library System.
More than 20 years ago, the rural library entered the Pintlala community in a small trailer. They later upgraded to a larger trailer before moving to their permanent brick facility 10 years ago.
During the anniversary celebration, the library honored Lorraine Barnett, 85, as the “senior reader” and Shelby Furr, 2, as the “youngest reader.”
“This celebration was a tribute to a great library and a great community that has kept this library as a vibrant part of their lives,” said Vice Chairman Elton N. Dean, Sr.

County Launches EMA Advisory Committee
Under the leadership of Commissioners Elton N. Dean, Sr., and Reed Ingram, the County Commission recently launched an EMA Advisory Committee to address safety issues concerning citizens in the unincorporated areas of Montgomery County.
“I think it’s very important that we continue to further develop our plans to protect the citizens in our county. This new committee allows us to work with our first responders to ensure they have everything they need to assist our citizens in the wake of a disaster,” said Ingram.
Committee membership includes representatives from each of the seven volunteer fire departments in the county, as well as Dixie Electric, ALFA, City/County EMA, County Commission, County Engineering department, and County Sheriff’s Office.
Chief Deputy Derrick Cunningham of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Steve Jones, deputy director of the City/County EMA, serve as chairman and co-chairman, respectively.
Since its inception, the group has worked with the City/County Emergency Management Agency and the Montgomery County Commission to obtain grants to supply generators for rural water systems and seven additional sirens for the unincorporated area. They are also working on a partnership to launch WARN, a call system that would notify citizens via telephone in case of an emergency.

"Mosquito Control Awareness Week"
They weigh in at 2.5 milligrams. Most only live two to three weeks. Yet, they bring a great deal of hardship at any outdoor event. They are mosquitoes, and we have more than 200 different species in the United States alone.
Seeing a great need to protect its citizens from the dangers of these disease-carrying insects, the Montgomery County Commission launched its Mosquito Control Program in August 2005. Previously, the Commission paid the City of Montgomery to service some areas outside the city limits. But because the need was so great, the County Commission developed a new program that would triple the miles previously serviced.
Through October of last year and beginning again in March this year, a fogger truck travels through designated areas in the County and sprays a fine mist, a mixture of pesticides and air, along roadsides. The chemical, BioMist 4+4, is the same product currently used by the City of Montgomery and contains the same chemicals of many other pesticides at local hardware stores.
The County’s fogger truck travels Montgomery County’s roads five days a week from dusk until 2 a.m. Because the vehicle can only travel at 20 mph during the fogging process, each area is sprayed once a week.
While this process eliminates many breeding areas, the Commission wants each homeowner to know that they play a part in control of the mosquito population. The Montgomery County Commission and Montgomery County Engineering Department are joining with the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) in celebrating the tenth annual “National Mosquito Control Awareness Week” June 25 – July 1, 2006.
Citizens can find information on the mosquito life cycle and tips on how to eliminate mosquito egg-laying sites around their and neighborhoods by visiting the AMCA’s website at www.mosquito.org.
Some of the AMCA’s tips to control mosquitoes include:
-
Destroy or dispose of tin cans, old tires, buckets, unused plastic swimming pools or other containers that collect and hold water. Do not allow water to accumulate in the saucers of flowerpots, cemetery urns or in pet dishes for more than 2 days.
-
Clean debris from rain gutters and remove any standing water under or around structures, or on flat roofs. Check around faucets and air conditioner units and repair leaks or eliminate puddles that remain for several days.
-
Change the water in birdbaths and wading pools at least once a week and stock ornamental pools with top feeding predacious minnows. Known as mosquito fish, these minnows are about 1 - 1-1/2 inches in length and can be purchased or native fish can be seined from streams and creeks locally.
-
Eliminate standing water around animal watering troughs. Flush livestock water troughs twice a week.
-
Check for trapped water in plastic or canvas tarps used to cover boats, pools, etc. Arrange the tarp to drain the water.
-
Irrigate lawns and gardens carefully to prevent water from standing for several days.
The AMCA, an international organization of nearly 2,000 public health professionals, has been dedicated to preserving the public’s health and well-being through safe, environmentally sound mosquito control programs since 1935. During “Mosquito Control Awareness Week” the AMCA’s goal is to educate the general public about the significance of mosquitoes in their daily lives and the important service provided by mosquito control workers throughout the United States and worldwide.
