City of Centreville

What City of Centreville does

City of Centreville is the incorporated municipal government of Centreville, Alabama, in Bibb County. Originally established via an 1823 federal land grant obtained by Sarah Willis Chotard, Centreville became the permanent county seat in 1829 and was officially incorporated on January 21, 1832; it re-incorporated in 1890 to form its first elected mayor-and-council government. The city delivers the standard suite of municipal services to residents and businesses within its jurisdiction, organized into public safety (Police Department under Chief Rodney Smith and a volunteer Fire Department under Chief Tommy Worrell), utilities (Water and Sewer Department overseen by a separately appointed Water Works & Sewer Board), community services (Parks, Brent-Centreville Library, Senior Center, Animal Control, Municipal Court), and business-facing services (Business Licenses, Permits, and Zoning). Notable facilities include the 39-acre Stewart-Wheeler Memorial Park opened in 2014, the Centreville Walking Trail with Cahaba River canoe access, the Vance Ellison House historic bed and breakfast, and The Studio music, dance, and activity center.

Service delivery combines in-person channels at City Hall and department offices (1270 Walnut Street) with digital self-service options, including the Citizen Action Center web portal for issue reporting and online bill payment, and the BizLicenseOnline platform for business license renewal. Operating revenues are derived from taxes and fees (utilities, business licenses, permits, court fines, library services) rather than commercial sales, and no revenue figure is publicly disclosed in the available data.

Governance is led by Mayor Barry Cooner, a five-member City Council (one per district, with Mayor Pro-Tem Dianne Epperson), and dedicated boards including the Historic Preservation Commission, Water Works & Sewer Board, and the jointly administered Brent-Centreville Library Board. The city maintains intergovernmental and economic-development partnerships, most notably a joint ownership of the Brent-Centreville Library and Senior Center with the City of Brent, and a multi-party Cahaba Blueway walking-trail and canoe-launch initiative with Cahaba Medical Care, the Bibb County Board of Education, Bibb Medical Center, the University of Alabama Center for Economic Development, and ADECA (which provided the Recreational Trails grant). Operations are distributed across nine physical locations spanning City Hall, police, fire, court, library, senior center, park, and community arts venues.
