The Cullman County Commission convened on April 15, 2025, to address several key issues impacting the community, including local governance and public safety measures. The meeting began with a quorum established and an invocation led by Josh Sellers, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

One of the most significant discussions centered around Senate Bill 322, which proposes allowing municipalities to annex community development districts without requiring contiguous borders. The commission expressed strong opposition to this bill, citing concerns that it could lead to fragmented governance and complicate infrastructure planning. The commissioners urged residents to contact their legislators to voice their opposition, emphasizing the potential negative impact on local governance and community resources.

In addition to the legislative concerns, the commission approved several routine items, including the minutes from the previous meeting and various resolutions related to speed limit changes on county roads. Notably, the commission passed a resolution to change the speed limit to 25 miles per hour on County Road 1207 and County Road 287.

The meeting also featured public comments from local candidates for the District 11 House seat, including Dallas Ballen and Heath Albright, who introduced themselves and shared their backgrounds with the commission and attendees.

The commission concluded the meeting by addressing various administrative matters, including the approval of a variance request for a subdivision and the nomination of individuals for local boards. The next commission work session is scheduled for May 20, 2025, at 4 PM, with the following commission meeting set for the same day at 6 PM.
