Harnett County commissioners approve 5‑year fleet deal, budget amendments and bid awards; multiple water ordinances requested

HARNETT COUNTY, N.C. — The Harnett County Board of Commissioners on June 2 approved a five‑year fleet agreement with Enterprise for sheriff’s office vehicles, adopted fiscal‑year budget amendments and awarded chemicals bids for the county’s water and wastewater treatment plants.

Those were the clearest formal actions recorded in the meeting recap. The board also received multiple requests from Harnett Regional Water for project ordinances and heard staff requests related to information technology office space and a procedural resolution; the transcript lists the requests but does not specify final votes on those items.

The most immediate approvals recorded were the five‑year fleet agreement with Enterprise for sheriff’s office vehicles and the county manager’s budget items. The meeting recap states the fleet agreement “was approved for a 5 year agreement.” The county manager’s report notes that budget amendments were approved, and that a motion to approve chemical bids for fiscal year 2026 for the water and wastewater treatment plants “were approved.”

Harnett Regional Water asked the board to approve four project ordinances: the Buies Creek and Coats collection‑system upgrades project ordinance; the Erwin downtown utility upgrades project ordinance; the Old Hamilton Road water extension project ordinance; and a lead‑and‑copper compliance project ordinance. The transcript records those four requests but does not indicate the board’s vote or final disposition for those ordinances.

County information technology staff asked the board to adopt a resolution updating review officers and sought approval to add offices at 420 McKinney Parkway to relocate the GIS department; the transcript records those requests but does not state the board’s final action on them. Administration also requested that the board adopt a resolution asking the North Carolina Department of Transportation to add several roads to the secondary road system; the transcript records the request but does not report a vote.

The board discussed an appointment to the Harnett County Planning Board for District 2, naming Amanda Reagan. The transcript reads that the board “would like to appoint Amanda Reagan, district 2 to the Harnett County planning board.” The meeting text does not show a formal roll‑call or vote tally for that appointment in the provided recap.

The board opened public comment; eight residents provided remarks, but the recap does not include topic details from those comments. There was also discussion of the recommended fiscal year 2025‑26 budget during the meeting; the transcript notes discussion but does not report a final adoption of a full FY25‑26 budget in the provided excerpt.

The meeting closed with no new business or closed session scheduled. The county announced a town hall on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 6 p.m. with Commissioner William “Bill” Morris at the Anderson Creek Fire Station. The county also posted future meeting dates and a link to watch the full meeting on its website.
