Loading...
Summary
Cabarrus County commissioners approved a budget amendment and project ordinances to appropriate funds for purchase of the Northwest Elementary School site; staff said most funds were available but they were a few dollars short and funds were moved from another account. Vote was unanimous.
Cabarrus County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a budget amendment to appropriate funds and adopt project ordinances for the acquisition of the Northwest Elementary School site.
County staff member Kelly Sefford presented the item, saying the purchase has been under discussion for over a year. Sefford told commissioners that most of the funds needed for the acquisition were already available but the county was "a few dollars short" and would reallocate money from another location to complete the purchase.
After brief questions (none recorded), the board approved the budget amendment by a 5'to'0 vote. The meeting transcript did not list a mover and seconder by name for the motion in the public record. The board had previously removed a separate FY2027 budget item from the agenda.
The staff presentation did not specify the total purchase price, the source account from which funds would be reallocated, or a closing date; those details were not specified in the public meeting record and were left for staff follow-up.
