Moore County commissioners used their July 15 meeting to clear a slate of routine and substantive items: they approved special-meeting minutes, accepted the 2024–25 property tax settlement, approved contracting and budget actions, and made multiple appointments.
Notable board actions and approvals (voice votes unless otherwise noted):
- Approved special meeting minutes (06/03/2025 and 06/05/2025). - Accepted the 2024–25 property tax settlement as required by North Carolina General Statute §105‑373; reported unpaid principal amounts were $299,591.52 (real property) and $79,459.18 (personal property); staff reported a 99.64% collection rate. - Accepted a deed of dedication for water infrastructure at Fletcher Farms (Fletcher Way Subdivision) for the East Moore Water District and approved taking the infrastructure into the county system. - Awarded a county contract to Judy D. Brooks Contractors for removal of ground yard waste from the landfill TMP facility at a rate not to exceed $16 per ton or $350,000 per year (07/01/2025–06/30/2027). - Approved contract amendment #4 with Aramark Correctional Services, LLC for detention center food services to account for a CPI adjustment, increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $389,618 for FY 25–26. - Approved Change Order #13 with New Atlantic for courthouse renovation ($107,207) and a related capital project ordinance revision. - Appointed Gary Briggs as tax administrator for a four-year term (07/15/2025–07/15/2029) and reappointed David Williams to the Moore County Board of Health (term 08/01/2025–07/31/2028); appointed Tom Adams as county voting delegate to the NCACC annual conference and made two JCPC appointments (Kimberly Davis and Jones McCall, terms to July 2027).
Quotations and context: tax administrator Gary Briggs thanked county staff and taxpayers for a strong collections year and explained legal requirements for the settlement and the process to charge the tax administrator with collection for the coming levy year. Major Bill Flint presented the Aramark amendment on behalf of the sheriff; staff said the CPI-driven increase was budgeted and would not require additional county funds.
Next steps: staff will finalize the contracts and change orders and proceed with implementation; the county manager and relevant departments will carry out follow-up and reporting tasks as recorded in the motions.
