Sampson County commissioners approve agenda changes, multiple contracts, appointments and rate updates
Summary
The Sampson County Board of Commissioners approved the agenda as amended and carried votes on a series of routine and programmatic items, including an amended animal control ordinance, naming a private road, awarding bidding authority for Roseboro EMS building, Expo Center rate changes, vehicle transfers and several board reappointments.
Sampson County commissioners approved a slate of routine and programmatic actions during their August meeting, carrying motions on amendments to the agenda, an amended animal control ordinance, a private-road naming, bidding for an EMS building, vehicle transfers and several reappointments.
The board first adopted a set of manager-proposed amendments to the meeting agenda, then approved the agenda as amended. The board carried a consent agenda and opened and closed a public hearing led by the county’s GSI coordinator with no public comment recorded.
Among the formal actions, commissioners voted to name a private road “Naveis Lane,” adopt amendments to the county animal control ordinance, authorize the bidding process for the Roseboro EMS building, and approve an asset-management grant tied to the county capital improvement plan. The board also approved a transfer of three identified county vehicles between departments, and approved the county’s annual library card sign-up schedule (scheduled in September as presented).
The board approved a revised rate schedule for the Sampson County Expo Center, and authorized execution of an agreement with the Division of County-Based Aging Services for the PEAS project (described in the meeting as a health-based aging services agreement). Commissioners reappointed Jennifer Daniels and Tammy Patterson to represent District 1 and Nelson Powell and Hillary Faison to represent District 2 on the county’s Voluntary Agricultural District committee, and reappointed Commissioner Lee and a representative listed as “UCAR” to the Southeastern Economic Development Commission. The meeting adjourned after a motion and unanimous voice vote.
Many motions were approved with the board’s standard voice response of “All those in favor? Motion so carried.” Specific roll-call tallies were not stated in the meeting transcript.
Ending: Several items were presented as staff recommendations and approved with no further public testimony; staff indicated follow-up on specific public comments would be provided after the meeting.
