During his first term, he worked hard to address issues of public safety, fiscal responsibility, downtown revitalization, and blight eradication. He was reelected by a landslide in 2017. Sandy's civic and business endeavors, both locally and statewide, have been numerous and varied. He has served on the boards of the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest Alabama; the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce; the Alabama Policy Institute; the Business Council of Alabama; the University of Alabama President's Cabinet; and the University of South Alabama's Board of Trustees. Sandy graduated from the University of Alabama in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. He spent nearly forty years in the lumber manufacturing business.

SERVPRO The SERVPROs in Mobile County (SERVPRO of South Mobile County, SERVPRO of Southwest Mobile, SERVPRO of North Mobile County, and SERVPRO of Mobile Northwest) are independently owned by the Mayhall family. The Mayhall family has proudly been a part of the Mobile community for four generations and have been serving the Guest Speaker: Mayor Sandy Stimpson greater Mobile area for nearly a decade now. Our company core values are what truly drives everything that we do. In addition to reinforcing the level of service we provide to our clients; our core values drive us to give back to the amazing community we serve. The Mayhall’s firmly believe that what we do is about more than the services we offer, it’s about what we can do for others. From that principle evolved SERVPRO Serves, which became home to such programs as Feeding Firefighters, Fridays at the Firehouse, and Crawfish for a Cause. We truly enjoy giving back and have plans to expand the program even further through our Caring Closet. We also take pride in being a “one-stop” shop and offer a full line of cleaning and remediation services to meet the needs of our clients. In addition to fire, water, and mold, we also provide floor, HVAC and textile cleaning, as well as climate-controlled contents storage. As a member of the national network of more than 1,500 SERVPRO franchises, we are also an active Storm Response Team, traveling all over the country to help those in need after a natural disaster. Thank you Mobile, for allowing us to serve you and we look forward to continuing to do so in the future! W.C. Griggs Elementary School The student body at Griggs currently has 683 students, including 447 (65%) Caucasian, 146 (21%) African American, 69 (10%) Hispanic, 11 (2% Asian), and (9) 2% American Indian/Alaskan Native. Many of our students live in non-traditional homes and are being raised by a single parent, grandparents, or other family members. An increase in the number of students who are doubled-up or who live in hotels has been noted over the past several years. As a 21st Century School, Griggs is at the forefront of the district in technology implementation with SMARTBoards, document cameras, student/teacher laptops, and iPads/tablets in every classroom. Our interactive Media Center offers a combination of eBooks and printed materials, as well as collaboration areas for student and teacher use. Griggs has two fully operational computer labs plus a Cyberstation, which incorporates a T. V. Studio, an interactive whole group instructional area, and three collaboration tables. As an Alabama Math, Science, and Technology (AMSTI) School, our teachers receive on site professional development and opportunities to participate in Professional Learning Teams. Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. This mission means so much to me as a person serving in this club because often times we see the light in children dim tremendously by their situations big and small. We offer these children opportunities that they may not otherwise have a chance to participate in.

    June 8, 2020 MOBILE COUNTY COMMISSION The Mobile County Commission met in regular session in the Government Plaza Auditorium, in the City of Mobile, Alabama, on Monday, June 8, 2020 at 10:00 A. M. The following members of the Commission were present: Jerry L. Carl, President, Merceria Ludgood and Connie Hudson, Members. Also present were Glenn L. Hodge, County Administrator/Clerk of the Commission, Jay Ross, County Attorney, and W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer. President Carl chaired the meeting. __________________________________________________ INVOCATION The invocation was given by President Jerry L. Carl, Mobile County Commissioner of District 3. __________________________________________________ Tim Pauliné Patowomack, 1579 Augusta Drive East, Mobile, AL 36695: The purpose of this presentation is I recently purchased property at 3675 Schillinger Road. The whole north section of the property is cornered with Halls Mill Creek. Just to give you an idea of where it is located at, it is between Cottage Hill Road and Three Notch-Kroner Road. The middle hole is the middle of the property. This is a survey of the north end of the property. Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS) has the very top section and half mile of the property. They are supplying utilities. There is some sort of conduit that dips down into where the creek is at. I do not know what that is to. I have not read the information on it yet. This is the information I have obtained from the County. It is a flood way. If you notice how it widens out as soon as it crosses the street there, it is because the construction material that has gotten away from construction sites in the past have made its way to this creek.

Clotilda: The Exhibition includes the histories of the final journey of the Clotilda, the settlement and history of Africatown, and the discovery of the sunken schooner, all through a combination of interpretive text panels, documents, and artifacts. AHC will contribute more than a dozen artifacts from the Clotilda to the exhibit. The exhibit will be housed in a forthcoming facility - the “Africatown Heritage House” - that will be adjacent to the Robert Hope Community Center in the heart of Africatown. The building project was spearheaded by Mobile County Commissioner Merceria Ludgood, the City of Mobile, and City of Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson and construction will begin immediately. Work on the facility is expected to be completed by late summer 2020, with the exhibit tentatively opening in October 2020. After 1808, Federal Law prohibited the importation of Africans to the United States. In 1860, co-conspirators Timothy Meaher and Captain William Foster made a bet that they could smuggle enslaved Africans into the United States, despite the law. They journeyed to an area of Africa, now known as Benin, and forcibly migrated 110 enslaved Africans to Mobile on the Clotilda, the last-known slave ship to enter the United States.
