Cramerton appoints Jacob McGann to parks board and considers a town communications app
Summary
The board approved Jacob McGann’s appointment to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for a three‑year term through Dec. 31, 2026, and heard a demonstration of a municipal communications app that would send notices via text and allow residents to submit non‑emergency concerns.
The Board of Commissioners on Feb. 6 approved the appointment of Jacob McGann to the Town of Cramerton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for a three‑year term ending Dec. 31, 2026. The appointment was recommended by the commissioners’ appointment subcommittee; Commissioner Scott Kincaid moved to approve, Commissioner Kathy Ramsey seconded, and the motion passed 3-0.
Separately, the board received a demonstration of a communications tool (described in meeting materials as StachBench or a "Cramerton App") to improve town-to-resident messaging. Presenters said the app would allow the town to send notices and informational texts to residents and permit citizens to report non-emergency concerns to staff for follow-up. The presentation was exploratory; no procurement or funding decision was recorded on Feb. 6.
The parks appointment had been removed from the consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda because of a name change noted by staff. There were no public comments recorded on these items during the Feb. 6 meeting.
