Summary

At the June 16 meeting the board approved appointments and reappointments across county boards and committees, including ABC board nominees, workforce and advisory boards, the highway 70 corridor commission, and the zoning board of adjustment. All items were approved by voice vote; terms ranged from two to three years where specified.

The Carteret County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of appointments and reappointments during its June 16 meeting, confirming nominees to several local boards and advisory committees by voice vote.

County staff (during the manager’s report) nominated three candidates to the ABC board: Karen Hardesty, Brandon Sewell and Tim McLaughlin; the board confirmed all three by voice vote.

Other confirmed appointments and reappointments included: - Michael Krasinski: reappointment to the Eastern Carolina Workforce Development Board (two-year term). - Allison Bentz: appointment to the Farm and Relief Fund Board (two-year term; Broad and Gales Creek representative). - Karen Hardesty, Brandon Sewell, Tim McLaughlin: appointed to the ABC Board (nominations made by county manager; approved by voice vote). - Patrick Flanagan: appointed to the Highway 70 Corridor Commission and to the Carteret County Transportation Committee. - Matt Renell (assistant county manager): appointed to the Highway 70 Corridor Commission. - Rod Kirk: placed in the Highway 70 Corridor Commission seat reserved for economic development and approved by the board. - Pamela Stewart and Susan McIntyre: reappointed to the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (two-year terms). - Anthony Paul Biccy (listed in minutes as Paul Binky / Anthony Paul Biccy): appointed to a juvenile-council slot identified during the meeting. - Michael Guden: reappointment to the Senior Center Advisory Board (two-year term). - Bradford Owen: appointed as a full member to the County Zoning Board of Adjustment for a three-year term (previously served as an alternate).

Most of the confirmations were handled during a single roll of nominations and voice votes; the board recorded “all in favor” or “the ayes have it” for each item. Several appointments identified two-year terms or three-year terms where noted in staff nominations.

Clarifying details: the manager presented the nominations on the record; specific formal motions or seconding commissioners were recorded for some items (for example, Commissioner Clark moved the ABC board nominations), while several other confirmations were concluded by unanimous voice vote without a recorded individual mover or tally.

No contested votes or recorded no-votes on the confirmed appointments appeared in the meeting record from June 16.
