Kernersville board appoints Ed Powell as town attorney; contract notes $160,000 compensation
Summary
The board unanimously appointed Ed Powell as town attorney and adopted his employment agreement; town staff said the contract lists compensation of $160,000 and is effective January 1 (as stated in the packet), though the transcript’s date sequence is partially unclear.
The Town of Kernersville Board of Aldermen unanimously appointed Ed Powell as town attorney and approved his employment agreement during the organizational meeting.
Town staff presented the proposed one-year employment agreement for Mr. Powell and stated the compensation in the packet as $160,000, with the contract described as effective January 1 (the packet text and the meeting audio had slightly inconsistent date phrasing). A motion to appoint Ed Powell was made and approved, followed by a separate motion to adopt the employment contract, which also passed unanimously.
Town Attorney Ed Powell addressed the board later in the meeting, congratulating the newly sworn officials and offering his assistance. "I am ready to help you in any way that I possibly can," Powell said after the swearing-in ceremony.
The contract language and effective dates are recorded in the board packet; the board did not provide additional budgetary detail during the meeting. The town clerk will retain the executed contract in town records and staff will implement the agreement per its terms.
