Council designates Jennifer Morgan as town finance officer; Sean Medlin named deputy
Summary
Council adopted a resolution designating Jennifer Morgan as the town's finance officer and appointing Town Administrator Sean Medlin as deputy finance officer; Morgan was sworn in at the meeting.
The Town of Louisburg council adopted a resolution designating Jennifer Morgan as the town finance officer and appointing Sean Medlin as deputy finance officer during the March 2025 meeting.
The resolution formalizes internal finance authority under North Carolina procedures and allows the designated finance officer to carry out statutory responsibilities for financial safeguards while a deputy can sign checks and execute documents in the finance officer’s absence.
Town Administrator Sean Medlin explained the legal basis in North Carolina General Statutes and said the council-authorized resolution recognizes Jennifer Morgan as the town’s finance officer and names him as deputy. A motion to adopt the resolution was seconded and approved by voice vote; Morgan came forward and recited the oath of office for finance officer.
Council members welcomed Morgan and noted staff will continue to work with the Local Government Commission on audit and financial matters. The resolution does not specify changes to the budget or contingency funds; any budgetary adjustments would appear in a future council action if needed.
