Votes at a glance: Lincoln County commissioners approve airport agreement, appointments and enter closed session
Summary
At its January meeting the board adopted the agenda and consent items, approved an NCDOT letter‑of‑agreement for airport safety and maintenance, confirmed three appointments, entered closed session under NC statute and adjourned; one zoning case was tabled for further investigation.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners took several formal actions at its January 2025 meeting.
Adopt agenda and consent: Commissioners voted to adopt the meeting agenda and approved the consent agenda by voice vote.
Airport agreement: The board approved a resolution authorizing a letter of agreement required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation for airport safety and maintenance projects. County Attorney Miss Gilbert told the board that Lincoln County is now sole owner of the airport real property and therefore the sole signer on the agreement; the agreement permits NCDOT or its contractor to carry out runway and property improvements using NCDOT funding. The motion to adopt the resolution passed by voice vote.
Appointments: The board approved appointments recommended by committee: Martin Brown (public member #1) to the Board of Health, reappointment of Jason Davis to seat 1 on the Dangerous Dog Board, and appointment of Dr. Ashley Oliphant to the Historic Properties Preservation Commission.
Zoning case tabled: Commissioners tabled the conditional‑zoning case CZ‑2022‑5a (Sawyers Towing and Transport LLC) to the second meeting in February pending staff review of newly provided attachments and advertisements suggesting public events on the property.
Closed session and adjournment: The board voted to enter closed session pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 143‑318.11(a)(3) to consult with the county attorney; the board returned from closed session and the chair stated no action had been taken. The meeting was adjourned upon a subsequent voice vote.
Votes were taken by voice; roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
