Top issues during term (20)
Coopers Lake rezoning in Rosington
No direct county cost, but residents worry about infrastructure burdens from future development.
Master plan update and new zoning standards for data centers and solar farms
Avoids spending on consulting services while no application is pending.
180-Day Development Moratorium
No direct cost, but developers face a six-month wait and a backlog of rezoning cases is expected when it ends.
Highway 98 RV Park code violation and PRD denial
Denial requires the developer to fund road construction to county standards instead of using the existing gravel flag.
Hurricane Isaias recovery and employee admin leave
Corrected admin leave means county employees who worked storm prep get their leave paid.
Gulf Coast Farm agrihood rezoning
The developer will fund an off-site sewer extension benefiting adjacent owners.
Hurricane Preparedness
The proposed education form would be low-cost; the county's beach marker project is grant-funded.
$1.33 billion transportation capital need
A $1.33 billion bill over ten years, with the county currently able to fund only about a third of that at today's pace.
Domestic Violence Awareness
FY 2026-27 budget nearing balance
Insurance alone is projected to rise 48% to about $2 million a year, and revenue growth is lagging behind growth-driven service costs.
Goodrich Property Rezoning Near Spanish Fort
Summerdale Building Inspection Termination
Silverhill faced losing about 5% of its budget mid-year; the extension gives the town five months to plan.
County Road 55/54 roundabout and Eastern Shore Trail
Costs covered under approved bid and federal-aid project documents.
Preserving public water access to Mobile Bay
Vacating would have generated revenue for the county, while retaining it leaves maintenance costs out of the budget since the county does not maintain it.
Morgan Property Rezoning Near Fish River
County Road 19 RV park access variance
Denial requires the developer to fund road construction to county standards instead of using the existing gravel flag.
County Road 64 School Zone Speed Limit
Floodplain Ordinance Amendment
Helps preserve CRS flood insurance discounts for county residents.
ARC of Baldwin County Decertification
Loss of federal Medicaid waiver funding threatens the agency's entire operations.
PFAS contamination near Navy airfield
