Morgan sheriff ’s office reminds drivers: Be aware of school buses on the road The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office put out an alert on its official Facebook page this past week reminding drivers to be alert while sharing the road with school buses.

School buses will be back on the road this week. Watch for them and know what to do around them. Here is a refresher: Make school bus transportation safer for everyone by following these practices: When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school.

When driving in neighborhoods with school zones, watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school, but may not be thinking of getting there safely.

Slow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood.

Watch for children playing

and congregating near bus stops.

Be alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic.

Learn and obey the school bus laws in Alabama, as well as the “flashing signal light system” that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions: Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles.

Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again.

Stay alert at all times to keep the roads safer for everyone.

After retiring from the military, Charles and his family moved back to Alabama, where he began his second career–teaching electrical technology at Calhoun Community College. Upon transitioning to a position teaching inmates at Limestone Correctional Facility through Calhoun, Charles thrived– taking great pride in sharing a trade that could offer his students more in life and a means to provide for their families with no judgment on what brought them there in the first place. The impact he had throughout his 20-year teaching career is immeasurable.

Charles and Virginia shared a love for antiquing, pulling their trailer to auctions across the country. He would spend evenings and weekends in his backyard workshop, refinishing furniture and rewiring lamps to sell at their antique store on Railroad Street in

Though he worked many jobs over his 41-year career, “Grandaddy” was his favorite title. Charles spent his retirement devoted to his grandchildren, following them to sporting events and introducing them to auctions and the Atlanta Braves. He passed down his work ethic, woodworking skills, and love for Snickers, R.C. Colas, and Oatmeal Cream Pies.

Opinion C

old weather reminds me of a hog-killing day in rural East Clay County three quarters of a cen-

tury ago.

Farm families looked at their fattening hogs with a great deal of pride in the 1940s and 1950s as they looked forward to slaughtering them and processing their meat into ham, sausage and bacon. They nurtured them from 25-lb pigs to 300-lb. hogs with ample feedings of leftover table scraps and surplus fruits and vegetables. Nothing was consumed with more vigor than apple peelings and watermelon

N

ature’s symphony skillfully blends together sounds that are soothing to the mind and soul. I have an old CD that captures and combines those sounds in quiet harmony which I often play as I sit in quietness, or as background music when I read or write. The sounds are those I often heard as a boy in the 1940s growing up on a small cotton farm but which have been greatly silenced by the destruction of habitat.

The producer of the CD has brought together voices of nature and plays them in harmony. The sound of crows cawing in the background resonates. A chickadee joyfully sings as a dove coos, and a cardinal joins in. A sparrow joins them. Crickets chirp an undertone.

Frogs sing their praise after rain has refreshed them. The rain itself can be heard gently falling. Water

rinds.

A hog on the loose also reminds me of a story I covered more than 50 years ago as a reporter and photographer for Clif Knight the Hartselle Staff Writer Enquirer. I was walking Emeritus to my car to cover a two-vehicle wreck when I spotted two men chasing a large

hog in the parking lot behind the Joe Roberts store. They were having such a hard time getting their hands on the hog that I decided it was better grist for a photo and article in the paper than a car wreck. The chase lasted about five minutes, at the end of which they shoved the hog into the trunk of a parked car.

I recognized Truman Bridges and asked him where the hog was going. “A customer asked me if I would help catch the hog and put it in the trunk,” he answered.

I was surprised and laughed loudly when a man waiting in line

Mission Statement at a cashier’s station at Hometown Grocery recently asked me if I worked at the Enquirer and was the one who made the picture and wrote the story about the hog chase.

“I was a part time employee of Western Auto at the time,” he said.

“I was the guy helping Truman, and I still have a picture.”

Hartselle police were waiting to get a copy when the next week’s paper was being printed. “Thanks to your help, we were able to find the hog in the Eva area.” They said.

’ gurgling as it flows over stones gives fullness to the sound.

Other voices of nature are captured and added.

These are accompanied

by A. Ray Lee a softly Columnist strummed guitar.

All of these were abundant when we moved onto what is now known as Lee Road in 1941. The road itself was little more than a wagon trail running north from Falkville Pike three miles or so and dead ending on Nance Ford Road. It meandered through woods and cotton fields crossing several small streams along the way. It was bare-

ly passable by motor vehicles in the dry seasons and only by wagon in winter. More than likely if a car managed to come as far as our house we could assume the driver was either lost are coming to visit us.

I have been told my mother’s aunts, who had raised her, complained to my father for moving her “back into the sticks.” Indeed, there were only five other families on the road. But over the years things have greatly changed. Houses have continued to multiply. The land has been transformed from small fields bordered by stands of timber, overgrown ditch banks, and thickets clogged with honeysuckle vines.

All of those coverlets of nature disappeared over the years as farms were developed and found a way to make these areas productive.

The road itself has long been paved and has proven to be a cho-

sen shortcut for many drivers.

Cars, tractors, and cycles motor down it ignoring the 45 mph signs on a regular basis. In the past months, one of the last wooded areas adjoining the road has been decimated to make room for more homes even though the area borders the flood plain of Flint Creek.

The clamor of dump trucks hauling fill dirt and crushed limestone has been a nuisance.

All the trees have been removed by giant machines with the exception of a few saved for accents on the surveyed lots. Large fires have consumed the unusable timber.

The voices of nature have been silenced. There are those who would say this has all been done in the name of progress, but I choose to disagree. I miss the sounds of undisturbed nature.

s I write this they are calling for significant amounts of snow.

According to the folks on the news we might as well be preparing for another ice age. Of course, last week they warned us that the winds were going to blow us all away like Dorothy and Toto, but I guess we can’t all be right all of the time.

Who knows, they could be wrong, but I sure hope they are not. I know snow can be a hassle and the severe cold is dangerous, but after Christmas and college football is over, what good is this time of year if it’s not going to snow? I guess

it’s the little kid in me that never grew up, but I can’t help getting a little giddy every time the ground gets covered.

Every winter I am torn where it con- Jacob Hatcher cerns the Community weather; I Columnist love the snow but living in the south means we get very little of it. And when we do we are

poorly prepared to deal with it.

Of course, an obvious solution to experiencing more snow would be to move somewhere further north, but then I would have to live somewhere further north. Life is full of such conundrums.

If it does snow the roads will get nasty which is a little concerning, but I always enjoyed that Ice Road Truckers show and relish the opportunity to see how I would fare. Of course my old F-150 isn’t a semi and I won’t be hauling thousands of pounds of freight, but there’s a decent hill I’ve got to climb to get to work, so I figure it’s pretty much the same.

Hopefully we’ll have some snow this winter; I’ve got three little kids that would love nothing more than to build a tiny snowman, and Daddy wouldn’t mind it too much either. I love the quiet of it really.

There’s nothing as peaceful as the quiet of a steady snowfall on a bitterly cold day. The whole town’s huddled around their heaters and there’s hardly any cars on the road; it’s a perfect opportunity to just sit and take it all in.

Besides, I would hate for all those meteorologists to have made such a big deal out of nothing.

This week’s spotlight is on Chad Summerford, Principal at Falkville Elementary School.

Chad Summerford is happily married to Dee and blessed with two sons, Jud and Grant, along with their dog Sassy. He spent one year at Danville-Neel and the remaining 16.5 at Falkville.

He started his educational career at Calhoun and completed his time at Athens

State University, earning a bachelor’s in elementary education and a Masters in Instructional Leadership from Samford.

Summerford’s professional career has been diverse, ranging from being a paraprofessional to roles in kindergarten, first, second and fifth grades, and eventually serving as an instructional coach.

Outside of work, He finds joy in spending quality time with his family, contributing to the family farm, deer hunt-

ing, exploring new places through travel, and savoring moments at the beach and lake. As a family, the Summerford’s also cherish attending church at No Fences Cowboy Church.

His connection with Falkville School runs deep, starting with his high school years and continuing as he transitioned from substitute teaching to becoming a paraprofessional while pursuing his degree. Now, having dedicated 16.5 years to Falkville

Elementary, He is proud to be the principal. This community holds a special place in his heart, and he is honored to contribute to the edu-

The flu season in the U.S. is getting worse, but it’s too soon to tell how much holiday gatherings contributed to a likely spike in illnesses.

New government data posted Friday for last week — the holiday week between Christmas and New Year’s — show 38 states with high or very high levels for respiratory illnesses with fever, cough and other symptoms. That’s up from 31 states the week before.

The measure likely includes people with COVID-19, RSV and other winter viruses, and not just flu. But flu seems to

be increasing most dramatically, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“We expect it to be elevated for several more weeks,” said the CDC’s Alicia Budd. So far, though, this is a moderate flu season, she said.

Interpreting flu reports during and after the holidays can be tricky, she noted. Schools are closed. More people are traveling. Some people may be less likely to go see a doctor, deciding to just suffer at home. Others may be more likely to go.

The flu season generally peaks between December and February; CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said

“I also want students to feel successful and realize that they can do hard things if they have the right mindset and put forth the hard work it takes to be successful,” she said. “I hope that my students (can) use the tools they’ve had in my classroom to continue to learn and grow throughout their lives as students and eventually as adults.”

“Law enforcement is not that good at dealing with veterans,” said Heather Collins, co-founder and project manager of Vets Like Us. “It’s not their fault; they’re just not trained properly.”

she expects it to peak by the end of this month. Officials say this season’s flu shots are well-matched to the strain that is spreading the most.

According to CDC estimates, since the beginning of October, there have been at least 10 million illnesses, 110,000 hospitalizations, and 6,500 deaths from flu so far this season. The agency said 27 children have died of flu.

COVID-19 illnesses may not be as escalating as quickly as flu this winter. CDC data indicates coronavirus-caused hospitalizations haven’t hit the same levels they did at the same point during the last three winters. Still, COVID19 is putting more people in

Arterburn has been teaching for 20 years, with 17 being at Danville.

Arterburn said she was shocked to be named Teacher of the Year.

“I couldn’t believe it and still have a hard time accepting it,” Arterburn said. “I am surrounded by outstanding coworkers who are much more deserving than me ... However, I am honored to be recognized for this achievement.”

Arterburn’s own mother is who she credits as inspiration for her career in education.

“She was my math teacher when I was in seventh and eighth grade,” Arterburn said.

“She made math fun and easy to learn by showing us shortcuts and tricks. She had helped me

with math homework all through elementary, but it was not until I was in her classroom that I really started enjoying math.”

Arterburn said she believes her students will remember her as the teacher who always made them try to think about math problems in different ways and allowed them to choose a method that worked best for them.

“I always hope my students leave my classroom at the end of the year with a stronger confidence in solving problems than the first day of school,” she added.

said. “Our deputies regularly interact with individuals that exhibit mental health needs, as in this case of a veteran dealing with PTSD.” The sergeant on the scene, Bowden, served with the Army in Afghanistan, according to MCSO spokesman Mike Swafford.

Generally, however, Collins said law enforcement officers are “too quick” to react when dealing with veterans.

“Of course, if I thought somebody was going to shoot me, I’d be reacting, too,” she

said. “But there’s a difference between seeing and listening to someone that’s wanting to take their own life, and someone who’s out to take somebody else’s life.

“Most of the time with our veterans, that’s what’s happening to them — they want somebody to shoot them.

They’re hoping. They don’t really want to shoot themselves, but they just want to give somebody a reason to do it and take them out of their misery.”

Better training and under-

standing the “human aspect” of what veterans might be dealing with can go a long way in helping law enforcement appropriately respond to veterans in crisis, according to Collins.

“When you’re over there and you’re playing cards with a group of your friends one night, and the next morning they go out and their tank gets blown up, and you have to go out and get a couple of fellas to help you pick up body parts, all of the sudden your whole life has changed,”

she said. “Your mental capacity has changed. And so, we need to understand these types of things.”

Collins said the best way to support area veterans is to just listen. She frequently receives referral phone calls from struggling veterans.

“They start talking and I just listen,” she said. “I just listen. And all of the sudden, they’ll pop up and say, ‘Mrs. Collins, you’ve been such a great help.’ I didn’t do anything, I just listened. Nobody listens anymore.”

By David Gambino For the Enquirer A man who worked for Falkville’s utility department will appear in court for a bond hearing Jan. 9 following his arrest by Morgan County sheriff ’s deputies who said he befriended and helped a work release inmate escape to Texas on Dec. 7.

Patrick Gwenn Smith, 51, was booked into Morgan County Jail on Dec. 18 and remained there Wednesday in lieu of a $50,000 bond, according to jail records.

degree aiding in escape, a class C felony.

An investigator’s affidavit filed in Morgan County District Court reveals a work release inmate and trustee of the town of Falkville named Wesley David Aldridge, 36, befriended Falkville employee Smith.

The Sheriff ’s Office said Aldridge walked off a job site on Robinson Creek Road.

“During the course of the investigation, along with interviews and a cell phone extraction of Smith’s cell phone, it was determined that he had knowledge

we don’t know what it is, in a Methodist church here. … If it’s something we needed we couldn’t get in if it was after hours because the door’s locked; we don’t have keys.”

Jonathan Warner, Morgan County EMA director, said there are also EMA items stored in District 3.

District 3 has “been great about storing it for us, but they have things that they need to store,” he said.

“This is an attempt to get all of EMA’s assets together in one place.”

and helped in the escape of inmate Wesley David Aldridge and had a relative drive him to Texas where he was dropped off at a Loves Travel Center,” the affidavit reads.

Smith’s arrest warrant includes a handwritten note from a judge indicating an

elevated bond due to helping an inmate escape who was already serving a sentence for first-degree escape.

Aldridge, who has a long rap sheet of theft-related charges, has allegedly tried to escape from custody before. He was indicted by a Winston County grand jury for third-degree escape on Aug. 20, 2019, and again, for first-degree escape, on Nov. 8, 2021.

According to the more recent indictment, Aldridge stole a Winston County Sheriff ’s Office rifle and Chevrolet Tahoe pursuit vehicle and drove — with

lights and sirens on — at speeds over 100 mph.

Aldridge ultimately signed a plea agreement for the 2021 escape resulting in the theft charges being dropped, according to court records. He was sentenced on Oct. 23 of this year to 15 years and one day of incarceration in the custody of Alabama Department of Corrections for first-degree escape. Aldridge’s sentencing order noted him as a habitual offender.

Circuit Judge Lee Carter, who signed Aldridge’s sentencing order, stipulated that Aldridge “shall not

work as a trustee or on work release at any federal, state, county or municipal detention facility.”

Court records showed no new charges yet filed against Aldridge related to his most recent alleged escape. The Winston County Sheriff ’s Office and Jail were unavailable for comment; it remains unclear whether Aldridge is currently in custody.

Falkville Mayor Ken Winkles declined to comment on Smith’s employment with the town or his arrest.

Warner said the warehouse will not only be used

by EMA. “We are going to also store some stuff for the (Morgan County) System of Services which is located there on the same property,” he said.

“We will also open it up to other county departments for storage.”

The bulk of the storage, however, will be for EMA, Warner said.

“We have some enclosed trailers that we would like to get out of the weather,” he said. “We house prop-

erty and track property for the Alabama Department of Public Health, National Healthcare Coalition, different entities like that.

We have some bus conversion kits which are used in case of a pandemic that we would like to store there at the warehouse.”

The building is located at 2531 Alabama 20 West in Decatur near 3M Co. and is 50-by-125 feet. Warner said it is a metal building with a concrete floor. There are two rooms inside, he said, but 90% of it is open space.

“We’re going to put a garage door in it; some of the stuff we’re going to store there requires a forklift,” Warner said. “The electrical needs to be redone.

We’re going to put in some ventilation through it; our walk-through doors need to be replaced. Going to build a ramp for that garage door and for the forklift; just doing some general repairs like that.”

Warner said the windows, which have been boarded up, will be removed and covered with siding.

At Tuesday’s Morgan County Commission meeting, the commission approved allowing expenditures up to $50,000 to come out of the capital improvements part of the budget to make improvements to the warehouse.

So far, the commission has received estimates totaling $39,879.

“It’s going to be an amazing asset to the county and minimal money spent for what we’re getting in return,” Warner said.

Tigers defense shuts down Decatur in 53-32 win

By Russell Frye For the Enquirer The Hartselle Tigers had their strongest defensive performance of the season in their 53-32 win over Decatur. The Tigers improved to 11-11 and 2-0 in area play.

Hartselle and Decatur played an uncharacteristic, slow-paced first quarter.

Both teams’ defense dominated the quarter as neither team scored double figures.

But the Tigers’ defense shined brighter than the Red Raiders’, holding Decatur to just five points. Ty Odom scored four points to lead Hartselle to a 9-5 lead heading into the second quarter.

The Tigers’ offense picked up the pace in the second quarter, scoring 17 points.

But the defense tightened their grip on Decatur, allowing only one field goal and four total points. Hartselle led 26-9 heading into halftime after getting points from five players.

Decatur’s offense finally woke up in the third quar-

By Russell Frye For the Enquirer Hartselle improved to 13-5 overall and 2-0 in area play with a 61-49 win on the road at Decatur last Tuesday.

The Lady Tigers struggled with the Lady Red Raiders’ pressure defense for most of the first half. Decatur jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and extended it to 8-3 midway through the first quarter. Hartselle closed the first quarter with a 9-4 run to tie the game at 12-12 heading to the second quarter.

The Lady Red Raiders again jumped on the Lady Tigers, scoring the first four points of the second quarter and taking a 16-12 lead. They pushed the lead to 20-15 before Hartselle began their comeback. The Lady Tigers outscored Decatur 11-2 in the remainder of the first half to lead 26-22 at the half.

Gracie Hill scored 11 of the Lady Tigers’ 14 points in the quarter.

Hartselle dominated the third quarter by outscor-

ter as they scored 12 points, but the Tigers kept pace by scoring 10 to lead 36-21 heading into the final quarter. Markus Tapscott led Hartselle with five thirdquarter points.

The Tigers cemented the victory by outscoring Decatur 17-11 in the fourth quarter. Odom finished the quarter with seven points, while Tapscott added six points.

“Defense has been strong for us for most of the season, but they stepped it up a notch in the first half,” Hartselle coach Faron Key said. “We looked better tonight after finally being able to practice after not practicing a lot in December. We are starting to play like the team I thought we could be.”

Ty Odom led the Tigers with 16 points. Rylan Smothers finished with 11 points and six rebounds, while Markus Tapscott added 11 points and five rebounds. Kohl Key had eight points, six steals and four assists and Brayden Thomas had six assists and Ty Odom shoots for two in the second half of the Tigers’ 53-32 area win over Decatur. three steals.

ing the Lady Red Raiders 18-8 to extend their lead to 44-30. Hannah Burks had 12 points in the quarter.

Decatur could only cut the lead by two in the fourth quarter to make the final score 61-49.

Hill added eight points in the quarter.

“I had to challenge the girls at halftime because of their lack of competitiveness in the first half,” Hartselle coach Amber Deline said.

“They responded in a big way in the third quarter to pull away. Gracie Hill and Hannah Burks put a lot of pressure on Decatur in the second half with their ability to score the ball.”

Hill led Hartselle with a game-high 24 points with four steals. Burks had 16 points, while Anna Hampton Burroughs added 11 points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists.

Amiah Jackson finished with nine points and 11 rebounds to lead Decatur (13-9, 0-1). Jennifer Mitchell, Carlee Mitchell, Kimora Bailey and Jadence Smith each added eight points.

HARTSELLE PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 24-0206 A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF HARTSELLE TO REVISE AND CLARIFY REQUIREMENTS FOR FINANCIAL GUARANTEE IN-LIEU OF DEVELOPMENT IMPROVEMENTS AND FOR WARRANTY OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS WHEREAS, the Hartselle Planning Commission (“Commission”) finds that current subdivision regulations related to financial guarantee (“bonding”) in-lieu of improvements and for warranty of public improvements is archaic and unclear in its intent; and WHEREAS, the Commission finds that the public good, as well as the intent of the subdivision regulations to ensure the completion of required development improvements in a timely manner, are served by amending the current subdivision regulations in order to update and clarify such requirements; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION of the City of Hartselle, Alabama that the Subdivision Regulations of the City of Hartselle, Alabama are hereby amended, changed, and modified as provided herein: Section 1 Article 5 of the Subdivision Regulations of the City of Hartselle, Alabama is hereby amended and shall hereafter read, in its entirety, as follows: “Article 5: Completion and Warranty Guarantees A. Purpose 1) Financial guarantees shall be provided to ensure the completion of all required development improvements, and for the warranty of those improvements accepted by the City for perpetual public maintenance.

B. Application 1) All development improvements required by these regulations, as well as additional improvements required by the Planning Commission or utility provider(s) as deemed necessary to ensure the safe and efficient provision of public services, including, but not limited to: a) Water mains and fire hydrants; b) Sewer mains and lift stations; c) Drainage systems; d) Street improvements e) Sidewalks not located along the front of a building lot; f) Electrical infrastructure; g) Street lighting; h) Traffic signs and signals, and i) Any improvement to be installed within a public right-of-way or easement.

C. Required In-lieu of Improvements 1) A financial guarantee may be provided in-lieu of completion of

2) A financial guarantee in-lieu of completion of required improvements shall be received and approved by the City Planner prior to Planning Commission action on a final plat.

3) The amount of the guarantee shall be 120% of the verifiable good-faith estimated cost to complete all incomplete improvements, not including utility improvements for which separate guarantee is being held by the utility provider(s).

4) The time allowed for completion of required improvements shall be one year. That time period may be extended by action of the Planning Commission if it determines that substantial progress is being made towards completion, but in no case shall exceed a total of three years. Upon denial of a requested extension due to lack of substantial progress, or upon expiration of the second oneyear extension (three years after final plat adoption), the Planning Commission shall present a report of the circumstances to the City Council, which may take formal action on the held guarantee to complete the unfinished required improvements.

5) The developer shall notify the City Planner in writing with any request to reduce the guarantee amount upon completion of required improvements. The City Engineer or a consulting licensed Professional Engineer designated by the City Engineer, as well as all servicing utility providers not holding separate guarantees, shall inspect all improvements for which such notice has been given and file a report with the Planning Commission. Such report shall recommend approval or rejection of such improvements with the stated reason(s) for any recommended rejection. If approved, the Planning Commission will authorize reduction of the guarantee amount by 120% of the verifiable good-faith estimated cost of such approved improvements, except that no reduction shall be authorized when the amount of the held guarantee is already equal to or less than 20% of the verifiable good-faith estimated total cost of all infrastructure improvements located within public rights-of-way or drainage easements in the development.

6) Rejection of improvements by the Planning Commission shall require the continued holding of the guarantee for such improvements until such time that all issues are corrected by the developer, and a satisfactory inspection report by the City Engineer is presented to the Planning Commission for approval of such improvements.

7) Upon improvement approval, the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council that it formally accept all infrastructure improvements located within public rights-of-way or drainage easements in the development for perpetual public mainteAt the time of such rec-

nance. At the time of such recommendation by the Planning Commission, the guarantee amount, if in excess of 20% of the verifiable good-faith estimated total cost of all improvements located within public rights-of-way or drainage easements in the development, will be reduced to that amount and held as the additional 12-month warranty as required per this Article.

D. Required for Warranty 1) A financial guarantee shall be required as a warranty to defray all expenses incurred by the City due to defects in materials or workmanship of those improvements located within public rights-of-way or drainage easements in the development.

2) Guarantee for warranty of all improvements located within public rights-of-way or drainage easements in the development shall be received and approved by the City Planner prior to City Council consideration of formal acceptance of such improvements for perpetual public maintenance.

3) The amount of the guarantee for warranty shall be 20% of the verifiable good-faith estimated total cost of all improvements located within public rights-ofway or drainage easements in the development, not including utility improvements for which separate warranty guarantee is being held by the utility provider(s).

4) The guarantee shall be for a minimum period of twelve (12) months from the date of City Council acceptance of such improvements for perpetual public maintenance.

E. Guarantee Instruments 1) Guarantee presented in-lieu of required improvements shall be in the form of an insurance bond or irrevocable letter of credit, guaranteeing that the City of Hartselle has access to such funds in the event the city must complete installation of the required improvements, and for the repair such improvements during the warranty period following City Council acceptance.

Such guarantee shall automatically renew in 12-month increments until released by the City.

When the required guarantee amount is $20,000 or less, a cashier’s check payable to the City of Hartselle will be accepted in-lieu of an insurance bond or irrevocable letter of credit.

2) Guarantee presented solely for warranty shall be in the form of an insurance bond or irrevocable letter of credit, guaranteeing that the City of Hartselle has access to such funds in the event the city must complete repairs to the required improvements within the warranty period. Such guarantee shall be valid for a minimum term of 12 months, beginning on the date of formal acceptance of improvements by the City Council. When a guarantee in-lieu of improvements is already being held and is less than the required warranty amount, a new guarantee for the full warranty amount will be required.
