TRUSSVILLE The Trussville City Council met for a regular meeting on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, at City Hall and approved a resolution in support of a freestanding emergency department being placed within city limits.
Grandview Medical Center has plans to build an emergency department in a new development across from Winn Dixie, formerly known as the Hamilton property. No lease has been signed, but the developer and the hospital have been in talks for some time about placing the center on that property. The medical center has filed notice with the State Health Planning and Development Agency and will present a proposal later this year.

TRUSSVILLE A Jefferson County judge ruled in favor of the Jefferson County Personnel Board after over a year and a half of back-and-forth between the board and the city of Trussville.
The legal battle began in April of 2019 when the city passed an ordinance (2019-020 (ADM), to create its own civil service system for city employees and to hire its own Director of Personnel. This, after decades of operating under the Jefferson County Personnel Board. According to court documents, the city notified the JCPB of its intentions.
Peggy Polk was appointed to the position of Director of Personnel and the city moved forward with its own civil service system by gathering resumes for at least one job opening and by approving a 2% cost-of-living adjustment for FY-2019.
