Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

     Effective November 1, 2005, Earle C. May, age 87, announced his retirement from the board of directors of Meadow Valley Corporation. The Company expresses its sincere appreciation for his contributions to the Company since his appointment in March 1999. Mr. May’s term would have expired at the annual shareholders’ meeting in 2008. Mr. May served as Chairman of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee.

     In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, the board of directors has appointed Don A. Patterson to fill the board vacancy created by Mr. May’s resignation and to assume the committee positions previously filled by Mr. May. In doing so, Mr. Patterson becomes Chairman of the Audit Committee. He meets all of the financial expert criteria pertaining to that position. Mr. Patterson will serve as appointed until the annual shareholders’ meeting in 2006 when we will request that the shareholders elect Mr. Patterson as a director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. May’s retirement.

     Mr. Patterson, age 52, began his career in public accounting, working for eight years at Arthur Andersen where he developed an extensive background in accounting for the construction and construction material industry. He left to become the managing partner of Mansperger, Patterson & McMullin CPA’s where he worked for 19 years, continuing to provide accounting service and consultation to clients in both the construction materials and contracting industries. During that period he founded Legacy Window Coverings, LLC, an importing and distribution business where he currently serves as CEO. He has devoted his full time attention to Legacy's operation since 2004. Mr. Patterson graduated with a degree in accounting from Arizona State University in 1978 and received his Certified Public Accountant’s certificate in 1983.
