Board approves consent agenda, endorses Harbor Town EDA request and reconvenes strategic plan committee
Summary
At the Aug. 6 meeting the Board approved a consent agenda of routine items, unanimously approved a resolution supporting the Harbor Town Project’s request for an EDA CARES grant, moved to reconvene the Strategic Plan Committee, filled a DSS board vacancy, and authorized closed session for attorney-client and personnel matters.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved several routine and procedural items during its Aug. 6 meeting, including a multi-item consent agenda, reconvening the Strategic Plan Committee, supporting a Harbor Town Project EDA CARES grant request, and making a nomination to the DSS Board.
Commissioner Johnson moved approval of the consent agenda — which included minutes, tax refunds and releases, the ABC Board FY20-21 approved budget, budget amendments/transfers, a hazard mitigation resolution, Riverlight transit documents, reappointment of the tax assessor, several MOUs and the order for collection of ad valorem taxes — and Commissioner Riddick seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The Board unanimously approved a resolution in support of the Harbor Town Project’s request for an EDA CARES grant after County Manager Curtis Potter introduced the item and Commissioner Johnson moved to approve. The Board also voted to reconvene the Strategic Plan Committee and give staff a target to meet before Sept. 15. Clerk Julie J. Bennett reported a vacancy on the Library Board and two applicants for a DSS Board seat; Commissioners nominated Paulique Horton to fill the three-year DSS term (motion by Commissioner Walker; seconded by Commissioner Riddick; unanimous).
Commissioner Johnson moved the Board into closed session under NCGS §143-318.11(a)(3) (attorney-client privilege) and §143-318.11(a)(6) (personnel), and the Board adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
The consent agenda and procedural approvals will be reflected in the official minutes and administrative records.
