Summary

Southern Pines Town Council approved its consent agenda, including a resolution awarding Lieutenant Jack Austin his service weapon and badge upon retirement Aug. 1; staff amended the resolution to reflect a statutory recodification noted during packet preparation.

Southern Pines Town Council approved its consent agenda by voice vote on a motion and second at the start of the meeting. The consent package included a resolution to award Lieutenant Jack Austin his service weapon and badge upon his retirement, scheduled for Aug. 1.

Manager Parsons told the council he had discovered over the weekend that the statute cited in the resolution (NCGS 20-187.2) has been recodified. "It is now section 17F-20, and your town clerk has amended the resolution that you'll be asked to adopt to also demonstrate that," Parsons said. He added that otherwise the resolution's substance remains unchanged.

The mayor called for approval of the agenda and consent items; council members responded "Aye" and the motions carried by voice vote. The meeting record reflects the amendment was made on the record and the version to be signed will include the corrected statutory citation.

Next steps: the council approved the consent agenda and will sign the amended resolution after the meeting. No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the public transcript.
