Board approves consent agenda, postpones auditor presentation; appoints members to advisory boards
Summary
The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda unanimously, postponed the auditors' presentation to February because of travel/weather, and appointed Russell Corey and Daniel Shires to the Ag Advisory Board and Lamont Littlejohn to fill an unexpired term through June 2026.
The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda unanimously at its January meeting, appointed new members to advisory boards and postponed an auditor presentation until February due to travel difficulties caused by winter weather.
The clerk noted that one sheriff’s-office item — a request to donate surplus property to Avery County — was removed from the consent agenda to be rescheduled at a later date. With no further discussion, a motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board then addressed a regular-agenda item that had been deferred because the county’s auditors could not travel from eastern North Carolina due to ice and snow; the auditors’ report was rescheduled for the Feb. 4 meeting.
Board appointments: commissioners nominated and approved Russell Corey and Daniel Shires to fill two openings on the Cleveland County Agricultural Advisory Board. The board also filled a vacancy with the appointment of Lamont Littlejohn to serve the unexpired portion of a term that expires in June 2026; the appointment was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote.
Why it matters: the consent agenda bundles routine administrative items for efficiency; the appointments fill advisory-board vacancies and the postponed audit presentation will be addressed at the next meeting.
Votes recorded in the audio record were unanimous voice approvals for the consent agenda and the referenced appointments.
