The resolution honors Mr. Dewey J. Bondurant, Jr. for his dedicated service as the Mayor of Flomaton, Alabama, for 19 and a half years, culminating in his retirement in April 2023. A graduate of Flomaton High School and Auburn University, Bondurant transitioned from a teaching and coaching career to become a prominent business and civic leader in his community. His leadership was instrumental in the establishment of Hurricane Park in 1985 and the completion of significant infrastructure projects, including the four-laning of Highway 113, which enhanced traffic flow and economic development in the region.

In recognition of his numerous contributions and the lasting impact of his service, the resolution expresses the gratitude of the citizens of Flomaton and proposes that Hurricane Park be renamed Dewey J. Bondurant, Jr. Park. This renaming serves as a tribute to his commitment to improving the community and his ability to secure funding for public projects with minimal local expenditure, ensuring that his legacy will be remembered and appreciated by future generations.
