Summary

At its meeting the Greene County Board of Commissioners approved a Burnett Road rezoning after no public comment, approved the consent agenda (including a health department budget amendment), approved a budget amendment tied to an RC2 economic development grant, appointed a library board member, approved a $300 sponsorship to the Lenoir Community College Foundation event, and voted to move the regular meeting time to 10 a.m.

The Greene County Board of Commissioners completed a set of routine and single-item actions during its meeting.

Rezoning: The board opened a public hearing for a rezoning request affecting parcels on Burnett Road. No members of the public spoke, and the board approved the rezoning by motion.

Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda, which included the minutes of the last meeting, releases and refunds, and a budget amendment for the health department.

Budget amendment: County staff presented a budget amendment tied to an RC2 commerce grant to reimburse payments already made under the county’s strategic plan; after a motion the board approved that amendment.

Library appointment: Staff reported Melanie Morgan had requested that Russ Jones be appointed to the Greene County Public Library Board. The board moved to approve the appointment; the transcript contains inconsistent references to the appointee (the request names 'Russ Jones' while the motion transcript later references 'Reschonne'/'Reschonne'). The board approved the appointment by voice vote.

Sponsorship: Staff asked whether the board wanted to continue a past bronze-level sponsorship ($150) for an Lenoir Community College Foundation fundraiser. The board moved to increase the county’s contribution to a $300 silver sponsorship and approved it.

Meeting time: The board approved a change to its regular meeting time for the third Monday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.; staff will post appropriate notice to ensure public awareness.

All motions recorded in the meeting were approved by voice vote; the meeting adjourned after the approvals.
