Commissioners appoint workforce-board member and refer recreation seating proposal to recreation board
Summary
The county approved an applicant to an East Carolina Workforce Development Board vacancy and referred a $20,000 recreation grant/installation proposal (with a donated installation from S and S Metal Works) to the reconstituted recreation board for recommendation.
The county manager told commissioners that one application was received to fill an unexpired term on the East Carolina Workforce Development Board and recommended approval. An unidentified commissioner moved to approve the applicant, and the board voted by voice to approve the appointment.
The packet identified the applicant as 'mister Austin Bryce' from S and S Metal Works; later in the discussion the transcript refers to 'Austin Brasch.' The transcript contains both spellings; the record of the appointment should be cross-checked with the clerk's office for the official spelling before publication.
The county manager also described a $20,000 grant from the packet (identified there as 'NC Amateur Sports Grama') that includes two project facets: a covered seating area at the outdoor concession area and improvements to a softball-field backstop. S and S Metal Works proposed donating installation of a covered decking system, which county staff said would extend the grant dollars. Commissioners asked that the recreation board review the renderings and return a recommendation.
Next steps: The clerk/county manager will notify the East Carolina Workforce Development Board of the appointment and will place the recreation proposal before the recreation board for a recommendation to commissioners.
