Wayne County board appoints two residents, proclaims Black History Month and approves consent agenda
Summary
The board approved appointments to advisory boards, adopted a Black History Month proclamation for February 2026 and unanimously approved the consent agenda, including plats for Talton Farms Section 4 and Jackson Ridge Section 1 and several budget amendments.
Wayne County commissioners on Feb. 3 approved appointments, adopted a Black History Month proclamation and passed the consent agenda unanimously.
Under appointments, the board — acting on a motion from the appointment committee — appointed Valerie Wallace to the Wayne County Library Advisory Board and Andrea Fraley to the Trillium South Central Regional Advisory Board. The appointments were moved and approved as part of the agenda.
Commissioner Williams read a Black History Month proclamation that recognized African American contributions to Wayne County and North Carolina and proclaimed February 2026 as Black History Month in Wayne County; the board moved and seconded that proclamation and it passed.
The consent agenda included multiple budget amendments: an appropriation from North Carolina State University to fund Wayne County 4‑H awards and scholarships; a reallocation in the health department budget to fund child car seats for safety services and education; a reallocation from contingency to payments to municipalities to remit half of county property taxes collected for tax years 2024 and 2025 to the City of Goldsboro in accordance with an economic development agreement (Resolution 2024‑67) related to Select Genetics Lot 18; adjustments to cover increased medical examiner fees; payroll realignment in the health department to cover projected lapses in part‑time wages and fringes; and payroll realignments from the county attorney’s office to cover payroll items through fiscal year end. Planning staff also presented plats: Talton Farms Section 4 (34 lots, average about half an acre) and Jackson Ridge Section 1 (38 lots, average about 0.6 acres); planning staff noted drainage easements and DOT built‑standards letters and recommended approval of the plats.
The board approved the consent agenda and plats unanimously.
Next steps: appointed members will be notified of their seats and the county will implement HUD‑required policies for Station 12 community project funding as previously presented by staff.
