Commissioners choose Peterson as chair, Ray Britt as vice chair; new commissioner sworn
Summary
Bladen County commissioners held officer elections, swore in a newly appointed commissioner and closed nominations for board offices; the body selected Commissioner Peterson as chair and Ray Britt as vice chair.
The Bladen County Board of Commissioners conducted officer nominations and elections during its meeting and administered an oath of office to a newly seated commissioner.
A commissioner identified in the meeting as Peterson was nominated and elected chair of the board after nominations were closed. Commissioners also nominated Ray Britt for vice chair and elected him to the post. The meeting record shows nominations were closed before votes were taken.
Earlier in the meeting an individual identified as Charles was sworn in to the board. The oath included standard language to support the U.S. and North Carolina constitutions and to execute the duties of county commissioner according to law.
The nominations and votes were handled during the meeting’s open session. No ordinance or statutory citation was referenced in the nominations discussion, and the board did not attach conditions to either officer’s service during the remarks on the floor.
