The Pitt County Board of Commissioners on an evening in January adopted a resolution honoring Tim Daniels for more than 31 years of service in the county buildings and grounds department and approved a proclamation designating January 2026 as Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month.
The board’s reading of the resolution noted Daniels began county service on May 9, 1994, and concluded his career on Dec. 1, 2025. "On behalf of the board of commissioners, we thank you for your service," Chairman Mark C. Smith told Daniels as the resolution was presented.
The board also read and approved a county proclamation on human trafficking. The presenter cited a statewide ranking—North Carolina was described during the reading as ninth in the country for prevalence—and listed local organizations involved in response, including the Pitt County Coalition Against Human Trafficking, NC Stop Human Trafficking, ECU Health, Daughters of Worth, the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office, the Greenville Police Department and the Center for Family Violence Prevention. The proclamation commits the county to supporting victim services and holding traffickers and buyers accountable, and the chair presented the document to Pam Strickland, who joined the meeting.
Both items were placed on the consent/presentation portion of the agenda and were approved by motion and voice vote. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote tally for either item.
The board paused briefly afterward for photographs and to thank presenters and guests for their work and attendance.
