Haywood County approves awards to retiring deputies and confirms appointments
Summary
The board approved resolutions authorizing transfer of badges and issued service pistols to Kenneth Stiles and Sean Aaron under North Carolina law, approved the juvenile crime prevention council roster for 2025–26 and appointed David Clement as jury commissioner (compensation $15/hr).
The Haywood County Board of Commissioners voted Oct. 6 to approve resolutions allowing retiring deputies Kenneth Stiles and Sean Aaron to retain their badges and issued service sidearms under state law.
Reading the resolutions, Sheriff William Bill Wilkie referenced the controlling statute as "North Carolina general statute 17 f dash 20," which the board applied to allow transfer of the badges and service sidearms to the deputies when requested. The board moved and voted to approve the award motions; the transcript records the approvals as unanimous.
The board also approved several routine appointments. Commissioners approved the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council membership roster for fiscal year 2025–26 and appointed David Clement as a jury commissioner, continuing jury-commissioner compensation at $15 per hour. All appointment motions were moved, seconded and approved unanimously in the meeting record.
What’s next: The actions recorded were ministerial and procedural; no appeals or contested votes were registered during the session, and the meeting adjourned after final approval of agenda items.
