Found pets
Post a lost or found pet
Your name and phone/email are only seen by Town Hall — never posted on this page. Give a general area (a street or neighborhood), not your home address.
Celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, graduations — the good news of our town, month by month. Town Hall reviews every celebration before it appears here.
Share a celebration
Celebrating somebody in town? Send it in — Town Hall reviews it first, and once it's approved it shows up in its month.
Local Jobs
Jobs with the town and our local businesses. Town Hall reviews every posting before it appears — if a posting ever looks like a scam, tell Town Hall.
Post a job
For local businesses and organizations. Your contact person's name and phone/email are only seen by Town Hall, who verifies every posting — the "how to apply" details you choose below are what applicants see.
For Sale
Things your neighbors are selling. Town Hall reviews every listing before it appears, and sellers pay the town's small listing fee only AFTER their listing is approved — nothing is listed until it's paid for or the clerk waives the fee.
Please know: the Town does not handle the sale, hold money, or guarantee any item — buyers and sellers deal directly. Meet in a public place, bring a friend, and never pay in advance for something you haven't seen.
Sell something
Post your item — Town Hall reviews it first. If approved, you'll get a link to pay the listing fee; your listing goes live for the run period as soon as you pay. You never pay for a listing that isn't approved.
Free Stuff
Free things neighbors are giving away. Town Hall reviews every post before it appears. Everything here is free — first come, first served, and please only claim what you'll really use.
Give something away
Post it free — Town Hall reviews it first, then it goes live right away. There's no fee, ever. When it's gone, mark it claimed in My Account or ask Town Hall.

After-Hours & Weekend AI Receptionist
An optional add-on to the Town's website package. Town Hall keeps regular hours — but residents' calls don't. A water leak on a Saturday, a question about a bill on a Sunday evening, a limb down after a storm: without it, those calls ring an empty office or wait until Monday. The AI receptionist puts a friendly, reliable voice on the Town's main line whenever the office is closed — evenings, weekends, and holidays.
What it does
- Safety first — it's the first thing callers hear: "If this is a police, fire, or medical emergency, hang up and dial 911." The receptionist never dispatches emergency services.
- A simple menu routes every call: press 1 for the Mayor and Council, 2 for the Town Clerk's office, 3 for the Water Department — or stay on the line to leave a general message. Callers can press a key or just say the department out loud.
- Water emergencies move fast: a reported water main break or major leak transfers straight to the on-call person's phone, right away.
- Messages the Clerk actually sees: every message is transcribed, tagged by department, and lands in the Clerk's website dashboard — nothing lost to a sticky note or a full voicemail box.
- English and Spanish, greeting and menu included, so every resident is understood.
What it costs
$49 / month — Standard: includes up to 100 minutes of calls each month. Plenty for most small towns.
$89 / month — Extended: includes up to 300 minutes of calls each month, for busier lines.
Month-to-month — no long-term contract, cancel anytime. Every call message and transcript belongs to the Town. Set up and administered by CrossTrade Contracting LLC on the Town's existing phone setup; all the Town provides is the on-call phone number for utility emergencies and, working with the Clerk, the answers to residents' most common questions.
Town Camera
A live look at the heart of town — check the weather, see how Main Street looks before you head out, or just watch the water tower at sunset.
Live view — camera feed connects at launch
This space is reserved for the Town's live camera. The picture appears here the day the camera is connected — nothing is being recorded or streamed from this preview.
How the Town Camera works
- The Town chooses the view: Main Street, the water tower, the park — the Mayor and Council pick the camera location, and it can be moved as the Town's needs change.
- The Clerk controls it: the camera is managed from the same website dashboard as the rest of this site, and the view can be paused or taken offline at any time.
- Public view only: the camera shows public places only — no audio, and it is not aimed at private property or used to record residents.
- Weather at a glance: residents use the live view to check conditions — rain on Main Street, ice on the bridge, or a clear evening for the ball game.
Town Points — tap a tag, visit the town
Small weatherproof tags are mounted at the places that make this town itself — the museum, the park, the water tower, the old depot. A visitor taps a phone to a tag and that place's page opens right there.
How it works
- Tap & go: every tag opens its place's page — its history, hours, photos, and a short audio blurb you can listen to on the spot.
- The Clerk keeps it current: place pages are edited from the website dashboard, so the tag itself never needs reprogramming — update the page once and every tap sees it.
- Every place page is in English and Spanish, like the rest of this site.
- Built by CrossTrade on the same tag system as TapSpec — proven tags, no app to install, nothing for visitors to sign up for.
Where the tags are
Map of Town Points — a pin appears here for every installed tag. When a tag is set up, the installer stands at the spot and the phone captures its exact GPS location, which is saved to that point's record — so the map is always where the tags really are.
Setting up a point
Mount the tag, stand at the spot, and tap "capture location" — the phone's GPS fixes the point's exact coordinates and saves them to its record and its pin on the map above. The Clerk adds the history, hours, and photos from the dashboard whenever they are ready.
Town Asset Tags — every hydrant, meter, and valve, on the map
A paid add-on for the town crew: a weatherproof tag goes on each town asset — fire hydrants, water meters, valves, park equipment, and signs. Tap it with a phone and that asset's record opens.
What a tap shows
- The asset's exact GPS location, plotted on the town map.
- Last inspection date, next inspection due, and the crew's notes.
- The full inspection history for that asset, in one place.
Log an inspection on the spot
The crew member taps the tag, checks the asset, and logs the inspection right there on the phone — date, condition, and notes save to the asset's record immediately. Everything lives in one dashboard the Clerk controls.
Setup works the same way as Town Points: mount the tag, stand at the asset, and the phone captures its exact GPS coordinates into the record.
For the fire department
Documented hydrant locations and dated inspection records are exactly what the fire department needs for its insurance (ISO) documentation — every hydrant accounted for, every inspection on record.
Introductory pricing
- Setup: from $5 per tag, one time — includes the tag, GPS capture, and the asset's record.
- Dashboard: from $15/month — the asset map, inspection history, and due-date tracking for the whole town.
Runs on the same tag platform as Town Points and TapSpec — one system for the whole town.
Facility Rentals
Town spaces for reunions, receptions, league games, and community events. Rental fees are set by the Town Council — the amounts below are samples until the Town loads its real schedule.
Community Center

Cemetery Records
Look up burial records and plot information for the town cemetery. Records are maintained by the Town Clerk's office, and this lookup connects to the Clerk's records at launch.
Search the records
Record lookup goes live with the Clerk's cemetery register — for help today, call Town Hall and the Clerk can look up any plot or burial record for you.
Plots and arrangements
Plot purchases, burial arrangements, and cemetery rules are handled by the Town Clerk's office during regular hours. If you are planning ahead, the Clerk can show you the available sections on the cemetery map.
Small Permits & Payments
The small stuff Town Hall handles every week. Fees are set by the Town — amounts below are samples until the Town loads its real schedule. At launch, each of these can be applied for and paid right here; until then, the Clerk's office handles them at the counter or by phone.
Dog tags
Register your dog with the Town — a current tag helps lost dogs get home fast (and pairs with the Lost & Found Pets board).
Sample fee: $5 / year Sample
Yard-sale permit
Planning a yard or garage sale? A permit puts your sale on the town calendar and keeps you on the right side of the town's sign rules.
Sample fee: $5 / sale Sample
Burn permit
Burning brush or a debris pile takes a permit so the fire department knows what's planned — and permits pause automatically on dry, windy days.
Sample fee: no charge Sample
Meetings & Bids
Council meeting agendas and minutes, and the Town's open bid postings — the public record, in one place.
Agendas & minutes archive
The Clerk posts each meeting's agenda before the meeting and the approved minutes after. The archive fills in as meetings are posted — the most recent documents appear first.
| Meeting | Documents |
|---|---|
| Regular Council Meeting — most recent | Agenda · Minutes (posted by the Clerk) |
| Regular Council Meeting — previous month | Agenda · Minutes (posted by the Clerk) |
For an older record, contact the Town Clerk — Alabama's Open Records process starts at the Clerk's office.
Town bid postings
When the Town buys equipment, materials, or services, the bid notice is posted here with the deadline and how to submit. Sealed bids are opened in public at Town Hall.
No bids are open right now — new postings appear here as the Town issues them.
