Storm debris to be cleared, thanks to new agreements

If you still have debris in your yard from the April 27 storm, relief may be on the way. The Marshall County Commission has signed an agreement with the state that will allow them to enter state rights of way and clear debris along roads like Alabama 205 near Albertville and Alabama 69 in Arab. The county wanted two things from the state...to be released from liability in case the removal process causes damage to state roads. And they want to be reimbursed for some of the costs. The state said no to the liability clause, but the the county did learn liability would fall to the contractor. And FEMA will provide the reimbursements.
