The board recognized volunteer Larry Land for long service, presented three employees of the month, amended the consent agenda to recognize Oct. 5 as Commercial Fishing Day, and approved several board appointments and reappointments by voice vote.
At its Sept. 15 meeting the Carteret County Board of Commissioners presented a plaque to Larry Land for more than 20 years of service on the Board of Equalization and Review and on the Harbor Authority, and commissioners publicly thanked him for his community work.
Nick Wilson presented the Jamie Hicks Long Employee of the Month awards for July, August and September to Michelle Giblin (nursing supervisor, Carteret County Health Department), Stacy Smith (administrative assistant, public buildings), and Robert Huff (information technology specialist).
