Bacon County approves Probate/Magistrate full-time position, denies Tax Assessor request; convenes executive session on real estate
Summary
The board approved a new full-time position for the Probate/Magistrate Court (estimated $34,000 budget increase), declined a Tax Assessor staffing request, moved into executive session to discuss potential real estate acquisition, then reconvened and adjourned.
At the July 15 meeting the Bacon County Board of Commissioners approved one personnel budget request and denied another, and briefly entered an executive session on real estate.
The Probate/Magistrate Court requested a full-time position that would raise its budget by $34,000. Commissioner Lonann Sweat moved to approve the position; Commissioner Sammy Boatright seconded and the board approved the request. The Tax Assessor's request for a full-time position was not approved as part of the same motion.
Later the board voted to enter executive session to discuss the potential acquisition of real estate. After a short closed-session discussion the board reopened the regular meeting; no public action was recorded from the executive session. Commissioner Corey Tyre then moved to adjourn and the meeting concluded.
The transcript does not specify salary or benefit details for the approved Probate/Magistrate position, nor does it describe the parcel or terms discussed during the executive session. Those details, if required, should be recorded in subsequent public filings or staff reports.
