Finance staff presented three budget amendments: Amendment 24 reallocates lapse salary and health-insurance savings and increased interest revenue to cover unforeseen legal, insurance and bond fees and to avoid using fund balance; Amendment 25 reallocates $50,000 of contingency to cover professional services related to Atlantic Natural Foods, full-time salary costs for an employee service package, and sewer treatment charges to the City of Rocky Mount; Amendment 26 recognizes additional water and sewer revenues and increases both revenues and expenditures by $200,000 to cover the final bill from Rocky Mount.

Council approved the amendments by voice vote following staff explanation that the changes reallocate existing revenues to avoid touching fund balance and to ensure adequate appropriation for known charges. The council also approved extending the town’s contract with Thompson Price Scott Adams and Company to perform the FY25 audit at a cost not to exceed $37,500; staff said relatively few firms in the state handle audits for small towns and the amount aligns with past years’ charges.

Both the budget amendments and the audit contract were approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Nashville NC, Council Meeting June 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved three budget amendments reallocating existing funds to cover legal, insurance, personnel and sewer treatment costs and recognized additional revenues; it also approved an audit contract not to exceed $37,500 with Thompson Price Scott Adams and Company for the FY25 audit.","taxTitle","Town of Nashville, Nash County, North Carolina","taxId",57590,"location","North Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6194044,"Council votes to apply for CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization funds to rebuild or rehabilitate owner-occupied homes",1096,1399000,2495000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864977-1fc9b7d49566699523aad0da664c5e81&start=1399&end=2495","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864977-1fc9b7d49566699523aad0da664c5e81/thumbnail_1399000.jpg","/articles/6194044/North-Carolina/Council-votes-to-apply-for-CDBG-Neighborhood-Revitalization-funds-to-rebuild-or-rehabilitate-owner-occupied-homes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194044-8c7329bc49d4ea33290c647080d60021/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136874&Signature=czB4Ou1m2~AzSTr2D-E-Ptmj2SUM1bG7zOZ-humM7KjqeTItkPbi8Zfox9WkJOc17K4lrv6y6TfJv7lf-XdNkSlBP7x5dX39hPhrWzOSSGlI3eh~4t1wwPTIuF8okbvA-d0h62HU8pCx2~bTYkzzQZSIHtZ1LhniHvgfk3DVlVZG02D9RU83SVgj5iIPH3i1N~axUgOtJJurJzMw8nJelI4c4mzWHAKg--lYXpe8YruEdw71QDwYsLIY393Tgm0O0x6w0A3PtuHQA0JuH5dOsDgzqR8KH84r1G83x6TvPLeePJYjlSz5lwxkLLTOYWfVOlNZ65rm26gLxcXHXUbWzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nashville Town Council voted to proceed with an application to the North Carolina Department of Commerce for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Neighborhood Revitalization program. Ben Jones of Falter Consulting Company presented the program and will prepare the town’s application.

Jones told the council the program is a scattered-site, owner-occupied housing program that can provide up to $950,000 per year to the applicant community; funds can be used to demolish and rebuild or to rehabilitate qualifying owner-occupied low-income homes. He said awardees may apply annually and that the program period is structured as a three-year process for environmental review, construction and closeout; in practice a community can apply again for additional funds in subsequent years.

Jones described program rules discussed in the meeting packet: recipients receive funds as forgivable loans secured by a promissory note and deed of trust; the house must remain owner-occupied for eight years or the borrower must repay a pro-rated portion of the loan if sold earlier. Jones said rehabilitation and full reconstruction are both allowed, and that the program includes administrative and compliance costs within the grant budget. He advised the council that listed applicants are screened during application (verbal owner-occupancy and income checks) and that title opinions and third-party income verification occur after funds are released and environmental review is complete.

Council members asked about contractor procurement (typically awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, sometimes limited to distribute risk among contractors), whether a town-held property could be used when a home is not currently owner-occupied, and how advertising and other small costs are handled; Jones said advertising and initial public hearing notices are town expenses but are typically reimbursed from the grant administrative budget after funds are released. He also said the program can fund nonhousing neighborhood projects that meet low-income benefit tests and that the first formal step is holding the required public hearing(s).

After the presentation, the council moved and voted to have Falter Consulting prepare and submit the application, and to hold the public hearing as a next step.","Council authorized consultant Ben Jones of Falter Consulting to prepare and submit an application for the NC Department of Commerce CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization program, which can provide up to $950,000 per year for scattered-site owner-occupied housing reconstruction or rehabilitation.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6194049,"Town of Nashville accepts $500,000 Golden Leaf grant to extend water to new UNC Health Nash facility",62,1315000,1377000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864977-1fc9b7d49566699523aad0da664c5e81&start=1315&end=1377","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864977-1fc9b7d49566699523aad0da664c5e81/thumbnail_1315000.jpg","/articles/6194049/North-Carolina/Town-of-Nashville-accepts-500000-Golden-Leaf-grant-to-extend-water-to-new-UNC-Health-Nash-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194049-c9afc4ae5fcaaa56df7afb8d2ca50c02/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136874&Signature=mmgZ-sDGCypJVqFJ95ujOTjA5F3kHb8tMDeLGSAn4WHzB52nwl9eWpNknT4evyamNBjTN-CrZaYOLZPh9r4y~CtEwHg7yjGVGF3XWAWFdO48SBbbfqtQdBYFJhQoQ-MX632gneicolr3YNhm34MFNCENlOHKMJlcUT34qeLhaSqdqwBs9~EnHYSMthALTaDf4~Pem3ZM8dcKLb~x4yMWK0XK~6RAFsnajof2-HT37qFA0pzDPmOOc2Dil6fcHbo1CqRcmPUrD5ZZfx5uVgmmgZhu3JYO3JKcBscGtPj7aBaCciVPobhyleDaZPNNYXN-hREnmWdld7zaqcyezN-VHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nashville Town Council authorized execution of a $500,000 Golden Leaf grant agreement to extend the town water system up Red Oak Road to serve a forthcoming UNC Health Nash medical facility at the address shown in the packet.

Town staff said the grant was awarded June 6 and that the grant agreement is the same form the council has used on previous Golden Leaf awards. The water-line extension will support the health care facility and the agreement must be executed and returned to the grantor. Council members moved and approved the measure by voice vote.

Staff did not identify additional local matching funds for the Golden Leaf award and recommended council approve executing the contract so the town can proceed with project planning and procurement steps as required by the grant.","Council approved executing a $500,000 Golden Leaf grant agreement to extend the town’s water system up Red Oak Road to serve a new UNC Health Nash medical facility.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6194054,"Nashville council approves 40-year sewer service agreement with Rocky Mount, raises daily allotment to 1,000,000 gallons",1036,272000,1308000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864977-1fc9b7d49566699523aad0da664c5e81&start=272&end=1308","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864977-1fc9b7d49566699523aad0da664c5e81/thumbnail_272000.jpg","/articles/6194054/North-Carolina/Nashville-council-approves-40-year-sewer-service-agreement-with-Rocky-Mount-raises-daily-allotment-to-1000000-gallons","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194054-60f2a3c315e4fdc78b09baffc732cf71/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136874&Signature=mBeO77fN76l~-2ujMOFNNIbu3I~6YaZMoKGu2jnmrM-FZncWf3~biu90PZcgaxZLvBf6yyUemY6aCevkuNZBEvyR65TdwjdGACOhJiZa0SCDoesAJDU8Mi51W8xa~8m5todzjyDtXW~px6htLeznLGKaGahlfaBoBQUJ1Ki2Tm2QqO6lDw9EzkR2bTXXptuKYP0nkwZ4j4e0k879DEEY7QGXsqxDG5xGyeA9LsIqjeEaPQOY5JCT-sdRIY9JIdOiQ1o-T0YZytu1RNsGpVHqGWWWsK7SUGcO4rVTZRJv6kaMQT24inDCcTYi2UvQU~UgwplLZ75mc6CyImIVzqaO-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nashville Town Council voted to approve Resolution 2025-19, a new 40-year sewer service agreement with the City of Rocky Mount that raises the town’s permitted average daily discharge to Rocky Mount from 775,000 gallons to 1,000,000 gallons and includes new language addressing metering during heavy-rain “surcharging” events.

The change matters because Nashville’s historical average flows have exceeded the previous contract limit in most of the seven years shown in the packet. Under the new agreement, when the Old Carriage Road meter vault floods and the meter stops recording, the town and Rocky Mount will assume a flow rate of 2.19 cubic feet per second from the time the meter goes underwater until readings resume. The contract renews automatically in 10-year increments up to four times and may be amended by mutual agreement with 60 days’ advance notice; annual sewer charges are set by Rocky Mount and applied to Nashville’s bills.

Council members and staff said the increase reflects recent growth and their work to reduce infiltration and inflow (I&I) in the town’s system. Staff described ongoing I&I mitigation: sealing manholes with CTR coatings funded by a Nash County grant, televising mains to identify leaks, and a planned $78,000 package to clean and televise selected lines and decide whether to slip-line them. Staff also said many service lines (the privately owned lines from houses to mains) can be sources of I&I but that property owners typically own and would be responsible for those repairs.

Council members asked whether Rocky Mount has historically charged Nashville for exceeding the contract allotment. Staff said Rocky Mount had not charged the town in the seven years the packet reviewed, but the new contract includes language about charges and staff recommended keeping the increased allotment while monitoring volumes and requesting increases if the town approaches the limit.

Council and staff discussed alternatives to continued reliance on Rocky Mount for treatment. Staff said drilling and owning water wells is generally less expensive for water supply but that building and operating a new wastewater treatment plant would face permitting challenges because the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has favored regionalization and typically will not permit small, stand-alone treatment plants when a regional option exists. Staff also noted that Atlantic Natural Foods is no longer operating; that reduces the town’s previous exposure to industrial surcharges for biochemical thresholds.

Council approved the resolution after discussion and a motion to proceed, with the mayor announcing the motion carried.

Details recorded in the packet include the prior limit (775,000 gallons per day), the new limit (1,000,000 gallons per day), the assumed flow rate during metering outages (2.19 cubic feet per second), the current published sewer unit charge noted in the packet ($5.18 per 748 gallons as converted from cubic feet), and the automatic renewal and amendment terms.","The Nashville Town Council approved a 40-year renewal with the City of Rocky Mount to treat town wastewater, increasing the average daily volume allotment from 775,000 to 1,000,000 gallons and adding language for metering during heavy-rain surcharging events.","actionData","errors"]
