City manager introduces Bradley Walters as director of energy resources; council proclaims Stormwater Awareness Week
Summary
City Manager Elton Daniel introduced Bradley Walters as the new director of energy resources and the council proclaimed the week beginning Sept. 21 as Stormwater Awareness Week, citing the Tar River and the city's NPDES obligations.
City Manager Elton Daniel introduced Bradley Walters as Rocky Mount’s new director of energy resources and asked the council to welcome him. Daniel said Walters, a native of Edgecombe County and a licensed professional engineer, began his career with the city 17 years ago and brings nearly 20 years of engineering and leadership experience to the role.
The council also adopted a proclamation designating Stormwater Awareness Week, stressing the importance of the Tar River and its tributaries to community health and quality of life. The proclamation, read at the meeting, cited common sources of stormwater pollution — household hazardous chemicals, yard waste, pet waste, automotive waste, fertilizers, litter and eroded soils — and referenced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) as the regulatory framework under which the city implements stormwater management measures.
Daniel identified two upcoming community events: a 9/11 remembrance ceremony at city hall and a Rocky Mount Police Department “Coffee with a Cop” event on Sept. 17 at Dunkin’ Donuts on Stone Rose Drive. The city invited the public to attend.
The council did not take additional action on these announcements during the meeting.
