Lewisburg — The Lewisburg Town Council appointed Sean (shown in records and sworn in during the meeting as Sean/"Shan" Medlin) as interim finance officer on Thursday and administered the oath of office as the town continues work with auditors on its fiscal-year 2023–24 audit.
Council members said Mr. Medlin has been deeply involved in the town’s finances and in coordination with outside auditors. "Sean is perfectly capable to serve it," one council member said during the discussion. Council moved, seconded and approved the appointment, and the mayor administered the oath.
In the administrative report, staff said the FY 2023–24 audit is underway with auditors on site and an expected submission to the Local Government Commission by June 2026. Staff told the council they are working to move the audit process along rapidly.
The meeting also included a closed-session discussion under North Carolina General Statute 143-318.11(A)(6) for personnel and (A)(5) for contracts. After returning to open session, the council announced no personnel action was taken but directed Mr. Medlin to pursue a contract with an individual for economic development/grant-writing services.
Ending: Mr. Medlin’s interim appointment is intended to centralize finance responsibilities while auditors finalize the FY 2023–24 review; the council directed staff to pursue a contract for grant-writing support. The transcript shows motions and approvals but does not include roll-call vote tallies.
