Cramerton board adopts fence and fee changes, appoints committee chair and approves town manager contract
Summary
The board adopted amendments to the Town Code addressing residential fences and a $150 administrative fee for abatements, appointed Stephanie Newman as Community Committee chair and approved a town manager contract (the contract party is not named in the minutes); multiple administrative items were also approved on a 5‑0 vote.
On Sept. 15, 2022, the Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners voted to adopt text amendments to the Town Code addressing residential fences and to add a $150 administrative fee to recover the town’s costs when it must abate a nuisance fence.
Commissioner Atkinson moved to adopt the proposed amendments, Commissioner Kincaid seconded, and the motion passed 5‑0. The amendments also standardize the terminology from “Notices of Violation” to “Notice of Violation” for consistency in the code.
The board approved a number of procedural and personnel items. Mayor Pro Tempore Neeley moved to appoint Stephanie Newman as chair of the Community Committee; Commissioner Ramsey seconded the motion and the appointment was approved. The board also approved a contract for Town Manager by a 5‑0 vote; the minutes record the motion and vote but list the contracting party as “???,” and no name appears in the public minutes.
Other items on the agenda were approved as part of the consent agenda, including minutes for July 14 and Aug. 18, setting a public hearing for a right‑of‑way closing related to the Redhawk Development, Budget Amendments #2 and #3, and updates to the Board’s Remote Participation Policy. Manager’s and staff reports included a Two Rivers Utilities notice that a water leak on Market Street tied to Colonial Pipeline work was repaired the same day; the Fire Department reported a new ladder truck had been received but was not yet in service; and Parks & Recreation staff reported a 25% increase in sports registrations and discussed a proposed $170,000 pocket park in the Timberlake neighborhood, where board members asked staff to provide additional information about entrance width and access.
The board adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
