The Walker County Board of Commissioners will meet Thursday, January 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at Courthouse Annex IV, 201 S. Duke Street in LaFayette. The meeting will be streamed live on the county’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Commissioners are scheduled to handle routine business, including approval of minutes, a financial report, committee updates, and department reports. The agenda also includes a FlashVote survey item presented by Joe Legge, Director of Communications and Community Development.

A public hearing is listed for planning and zoning, and commissioners will also consider several consent agenda items, including reappointments to the Animal Control Board and Walker County Planning Commission, authorization for the Historic Preservation Commission to seek a grant for a historic resources survey, and an extension of the ambulance service contract with CHI Memorial Hospital EMS.

In new business, commissioners are expected to elect a vice chair, set the 2026 meeting calendar, address property matters including an MOU involving property in Rossville, set qualifying fees for the 2026 elections, and consider recommendations tied to the state’s hotel-motel tax performance review.

The agenda also includes multiple fire-related projects and purchases connected to Fire Station #4 (Hinkle), along with additional equipment and policy updates.
