At the May 18 meeting the Union County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda and filled multiple vacancies across county boards and committees.

After the consent agenda passed by voice vote, Commissioner Merrill moved to appoint a slate of nominees to the Juvenile Crime Prevention Committee (John Kirkpatrick, Angela Watkins, James Johnson Jr., Natasha Stovall, Jim Chaffin and Dylan Fulgham), three members to the Land Use Board (Richard Davis, Charles Darren Green and Andrew Medlin), Tom Eck to the South Piedmont Community College Board of Trustees, Natalie Ward to a Central Piedmont workforce development board vacancy, and Amy Dickey and Brandy Smith to the consolidated human service board. The motions were seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records unanimous "aye" responses but no roll-call tallies.

The appointments were presented as routine business in keeping with advertised vacancies and applicable law. The transcript does not record any debate or recorded roll-call vote for these motions.
