# October 19, 2026 Board of Supervisors Meeting

The Madison County Board of Supervisors meeting on October 19, 2026, included several procurement and capital-project actions. The board approved transferring approximately $4.5 million to the City of Richland for conference-center-related water, sewer, road widening and extension, and detention-pond work. A supervisor questioned the use of the city as an intermediary and whether the estimates had been competitively bid; staff said the city’s engineering standards and oversight made that approach more efficient. The board also approved purchasing two extrication rams and beginning the process to purchase a replacement fire truck for the Camden Fire Department. It ratified an emergency declaration to repair the building’s failed chillers. For the boardroom renovation, Raymond Brothers’ bids were presented at $324,000 for Option A and $199,000 for Option B, with furniture estimated at about $90,000 through a state contract. A motion was made for Option A plus furniture, but the transcript does not capture a final vote.

After a cyber incident disrupted the county’s in-house bidding tool, the board approved a one-year agreement with PH Bidding to host electronic bids and reverse auctions, with the option to end the agreement if the county restores its own tool. The board also approved readvertising the Reunion Parkway ditch project, the Cascade Fire system, and two RFPs that had been halted. Staff provided updates on numerous road and bridge projects, including the completed Calhoun Station Parkway reconstruction, which finished ahead of schedule and under budget with savings used to overlay an additional mile; other projects remain in design, right-of-way acquisition, utility coordination, or construction. In executive session, the board took actions to establish just compensation for multiple Yandell Road right-of-way parcels and authorized retaining a process server for a quick-take right-of-way lawsuit.
