During a public hearing, county transit staff said the county is applying for fiscal-year 2027 NCDOT grants, including the Section 5311 administrative and capital grant and a Section 5310 grant aimed at seniors and people with disabilities. The presenter described the 5310 grant as a 50-50 grant with a 50 percent local match and noted the county may use road-funding as the local match. No public comments were recorded on the transit item; the board approved the request by voice vote.

Economic development staff (identified in the meeting as Mister Cash) asked the board for a resolution supporting an application to the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Rural Economic Development Division, for a building reuse grant of $175,000 with a 5 percent cash match; the board approved the resolution by voice vote.

The board approved the consent agenda and received monthly collection and financial reports for information.

The ABC board presented a recommendation to reappoint Bobby Taylor to another three-year term; commissioners approved the reappointment. The board also approved a request to allow net proceeds from two prior store sales—described in the meeting as nearly $150,000 in profit—and $24.25 in earnings to remain with the ABC board to complete a capital project, with the board to resume submitting profits to the county after June 2025 per ABC standard.

The recreation advisory board recommended proceeding with a grant-funded shade structure and concession-area project at Greene County Recreation. The county reported it has discussed the project with contractor S and S Metal Works; commissioners approved moving forward.

County Manager presented a resolution to declare surplus county vehicles and to list them for sale on GovDeals; the board approved the surplus resolution and the plan to use proceeds for next year’s vehicle purchases.

The board voted to enter a closed session for attorney-client privilege and later voted to adjourn.

County Manager presented the proposed change and said the language will be added under the personnel policy’s recruitment/employment section. Commissioners approved the change by voice vote without further discussion.

The county attorney told the board he had reviewed the statute and said it applies to any person who has contact with minors, which he said includes interns. \"The statute says any person who has contact with minor children are subject to the statute. So I am of the opinion that it does in fact and indeed apply to interns,\" the county attorney said.

County Manager identified the implementation location in the manual as Article 4, recruitment/employment, Section 3; the board approved the motion to adopt the amendment and did not attach a separate timeline or implementation schedule in the meeting record. Commissioners did not request additional changes during the meeting.

The action formalizes the county’s procedure to require criminal history checks for applicants whose jobs involve contact with children. The county did not specify any changes to background-check procedures, the agency that will run checks, or a start date during the meeting.

The board later moved into a closed session for attorney-client privilege and then adjourned. No public comments were recorded on the personnel-policy item during the meeting.","The Greene County Board of Commissioners approved an update to the county personnel policy adding language to implement General Statute 153A-94.2(b), and the county attorney said the statute applies to interns as well as employees who have contact with children.","actionData","errors"]
