Desiree Patrick, who provided an audio recap of the Harnett County Board of Commissioners' Jan. 5 meeting, said the board approved the recommended capital improvement program covering fiscal years 2027 through 2033 and a package of routine actions including contracts, grant applications and an easement.

The board adopted the six-year capital improvement program for FY2027'033, according to the recap; the recording does not include a roll call or vote tally. The meeting record shows multiple related approvals that were described as "approved" in the recap, but does not supply mover/second names or vote counts.

Other items approved included a contract with Benesh for professional services related to Cape Fear Shiner Park Phase 2 (design, engineering and construction drawings); authorization for General Services to apply for funding from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency's Urgent Repair Program; and a letter of support for a Harnett-area micro-transit application to Golden Leaf's Community-Based Grants Initiative.

The board also approved a finalized contract between the public library and a vendor identified in the recap as "Tech Ops" for a mobile outreach vehicle/bookmobile and approved a temporary easement for a sidewalk construction project in Anjor. Budget amendments were approved, and the board passed a motion authorizing the chairman to sign a contract that exceeds the county manager's signature threshold.

The recap records that the board reviewed applications for county boards and committees and that a closed session was held; no appointments or the subject of the closed session were reported in the recap. During the county manager's report, the manager requested a hearing at the Jan. 13 meeting because a deed had been recorded twice.

Three individuals provided public comment during the meeting; the recap does not summarize the topics or identify the speakers.

The county's recap directs residents to the county website for the full meeting recording and to follow county social channels for updates. The recap lists the next regular meeting for Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 9 a.m.

The actions summarized above were described in the meeting recap; the audio transcript used for this summary does not include detailed vote tallies, mover/second attributions, or line-item budget amounts.
