The formal budget amendment will return for adoption. - Outcome: Board approved staff direction; staff to return with ordinance language for formal budget action.
Notes: Several items (minutes approvals, procedural votes and proclamations) were handled by voice vote with “aye”s recorded in the transcript. For items that require formal appropriation (UDO contract amendment, any use of the Moncure coal-ash fund), the board directed staff to prepare ordinance or contract language to return for a future formal vote.
If a board member or member of the public requires a specific motion text or the verbatim vote record, county staff advised they will return the executed budget ordinance or contract for public record.
