COLUMBIANA, Alabama -- Work to replace the roofing at the Shelby County Courthouse in Columbiana with one that has a more energy-efficient surface should wrap up during the first week of February.

"The contractor is removing the existing roof, which has been in place for over 20 years," said Reed Prince, manager of the county government's facilities and general services department.

The older roofing has worn out its useful life. "This contract was to take this off and replace it with a new roof," he said.

Prince said the new roofing will have energy-savings characteristics due to its white reflecting surface compared to the black tar coating of the old material. "The darker the roof, the hotter it gets," he said, noting the heat of the summer months.

The total price for the replacement is in the $125,000 range, Prince said.

The project has utilized a few parking spots behind the courthouse, but the end of the construction will make the spaces available again.

McALESTER Taking steps to help McAlester Public Schools for completion of a new metal roof at a school in the city is among the items on the agenda for the McAlester City Councils next regular meeting.

Councilors are set to meet in regular session at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the council chambers at City Hall.

An agenda item regarding the school roof calls for councilors to consider and act upon a memorandum of understanding between the McAlester Public Works Authority and the McAlester Public Schools Board of Education.

The action, placed on the agenda by City Manager Pete Stasiak would authorizes the release of funds derived from City Ordinance 2159 for the acquisition, construction or equipment of educational facilities.

Councilors are to consider a motion to approve a memorandum of understanding that would convey to the McAlester School District $370,000 to be used for completion of the new metal roof at Puterbaugh Middle School.

The McAlester Public Works Authority approved a memorandum of understanding Feb. 14, 2012, to provide McAlester Public Schools $700,000 for the repair or replacement of school roofs.

MPS is requesting an additional $370,000 to complete the second half of the Puterbaugh Middle School roof, according to city documents.

The money is derived from sales tax returns collected from a sales tax originally passed by city voters on a city question to fund new construction at McAlester Public Schools.

At the time, the school district was having a difficult time meeting the 60 percent of the vote threshold required to pass a school bond issue.

The state legislature has allowed for school-related measures to be considered as a city vote, it its agreeable to both the city and the school district. When the measure passed, it had allowed for new constriction at McAlester High School, including constriction of the Lucy Freeman Smith center.

Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. ( BECN ) has promoted Rick Welker to the position of acting chief financial officer (CFO), replacing David Grace who retired at the end of last year. With this news, shares of Beacon Roofing hit their 52-week high of $34.45 on January 2, 2013.

An executive recruiting firm is assisting the company in finding a permanent replacement for David Grace. Welker joined Beacon Roofing as Corporate Controller in 2004. He has been serving as the company's vice president since February 2006 and as the chief accounting officer.

Rick Welker has the experience and technical abilities suited for the role during the transition period. He is a Certified Public Accountant and a Certified Management Accountant. Welker holds a BSBA degree from Western New England University and was awarded with outstanding accounting major by the WNEU faculty and the Massachusetts Society of CPAs. Welker also holds an MBA in International Business from the University of Connecticut.

During his tenure in Beacon Roofing, Welker has helped build a capable finance team, including the divisional and regional controllers across North America to execute acquisitions. He has played an integral role in Beacon Roofing's transformation to a successful public company and in its substantial growth over the years.

Acquisitions are an important part of Beacon Roofing's growth strategy. The company's prime focus is to target market leaders in geographic areas where it does not have a presence. Beacon Roofing also acquires companies to supplement branch openings within existing markets. Beacon Roofing remains fairly active on the acquisition front and we expect the acquisitions to continue at an accelerated pace in the near term.

Both U.S. residential and non-residential construction sectors are finally stabilizing and are on the road to a much-awaited recovery, which bodes well for the Beacon Roofing. Demand for re-roofing is also on the rise given an aging U.S. housing stock. Beacon Roofing currently maintains a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold) over the short term.

This move has been appreciated by the market as is evident from the recent rise in shares. The selection of an able candidate as a permanent successor will surely lend support to the stock and improve investor sentiment.

Beacon Roofing is a leading distributor of roofing materials and complementary building products. It currently operates 229 branches encompassing 38 states in the United States and Canada. Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. ( LL ), Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. ( TTS ) are other Zacks #3 Rank stocks in the same industry.
