During a recent government meeting, several key administrative actions were approved, including the personnel report, budget resolution, and consolidated title plans. The board unanimously passed these consent items after a motion and second were made.

In new business, the board addressed scheduling conflicts for upcoming meetings. The November meeting, originally set for the 18th, will be moved to the 25th due to a conference in Greensboro. Additionally, the December meeting will shift from the 9th to the 16th to allow for adequate time between meetings, especially since new board members will be sworn in during that session.

The board also discussed the timing of the December meeting, proposing to start with the swearing-in ceremony at 2:45 PM, followed by the regular meeting at 3 PM. This adjustment aims to accommodate holiday activities in the community.

Before concluding the meeting, a board member highlighted the urgent need for support in Western North Carolina, where residents are facing significant hardships. A collection drive for essential items such as toiletries, baby formula, and bottled water is being organized at the Ansonville Fire Department. The community is encouraged to contribute to this effort, with a focus on providing immediate necessities rather than financial donations.

The meeting wrapped up with a motion to adjourn, following a discussion on the importance of community support during challenging times.
