Summary

The Board unanimously repealed several outdated franchise, traffic and fire prevention ordinances, approved a $600 veteran's memorial stone purchase, and after closed session approved sale of the Old Gulf Station property for $195,000.

The Macon County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted Sept. 10 to repeal a set of ordinances identified during a codification review, including franchise provisions and certain traffic and fire prevention chapters, as described by County Attorney Eric Ridenour. The repeal was presented as part of an effort to codify the county’s ordinances and prepare them for posting on the county website.

During public comment the American Legion’s Robert Seibert requested donation of a World War II gun statue; the board discussed relocation options and did not approve removal from the county. Heavenly Leamor, representing the Nantahala Community Club, asked to place a veteran’s memorial stone near flag poles; Finance Director Lori Carpenter confirmed funds were available and the board approved the $600 purchase unanimously.

The board later entered closed session under NCGS 143-318.11(a)(3) to consult with counsel and, upon return to open session, approved the sale of the Old Gulf Station property for $195,000. The sale motion was made in open session after the closed session and was approved unanimously.
