Mobile County Commission conference meeting, November 5, 2026: Commissioners reviewed a procurement- and project-heavy agenda. Items included a one-year NCT license for street-level property imagery for the Revenue Commission ($13,781.70); a Chickasaw agreement for up to $250,000 in ALDOT-provided funding; a corrected $50,000 CDBG subrecipient agreement for roof replacements; and amendments to the gas-tax budget, which would increase it to an amount transcribed as approximately $8.7 million using carryover funds. The commission also discussed funding a West Mobile County Park splash pad and playground ($2,179,724.92), noting that the remaining project work had been bid and the contract awarded, and considered a land-disturbance permit resolution needed before construction.

Shoreline restoration contract amendments with Moffatt & Nichol were also listed, with costs to be reimbursed through grant funding; amounts were not stated.
