Pitt County meeting roundup: employee recognition, retirement, soccer champions, property sale and ABC appointment
Summary
The board presented multiple recognitions (employee of the month, Misty Chase retirement, Oakwood Eagles championship), approved a $2,000 offer to purchase a county parcel, confirmed monthly financial and tax collection reports, and appointed Jennifer Corbett to the ABC board.
At its November meeting the Pitt County Board of Commissioners handled routine business and several ceremonial items.
Recognitions: The board named Wilson Bermudez of Social Services as employee of the month for November 2025 and presented a certificate and a $100 award. The board adopted a resolution honoring Misty Chase on her retirement for long service in transportation and related initiatives, and it recognized the 2025 Oakwood Eagles boys soccer team as NCISAA 1A state champions, issuing certificates for players and coaches.
Reports and routine items: Assistant Finance Director Kelly Dixon presented the monthly financial report noting revenues trending ahead of expenditures in the general and solid waste funds and explaining EMS fund one‑time purchases such as ambulance upfits. Staff reported the October combined tax collection rate through Oct. 31 was 65.81% (down from 66.12% a year earlier); both reports were recommended for approval.
Property sale and appointment: The board accepted an offer from Amy Williams to purchase a 0.09‑acre county parcel in Farmville Township for $2,000 (the parcel had previously been acquired by the county after a tax foreclosure). The board also considered applicants to replace Bill Johnson on the ABC board and appointed Jennifer Corbett to serve a term expiring Sept. 9, 2028.
The meeting ended with brief commissioner comments and adjournment.
