Angier board authorizes interim town manager contract for Steve Neuschafer

The Town of Angier Board of Commissioners voted April 28 to authorize Mayor Bob Jusnes to enter into a contract with Steve Neuschafer to serve as interim town manager beginning May 1, 2026. The vote followed a closed session held under North Carolina law to discuss personnel matters and was recorded as 4-0, unanimous.

The decision came after the board met in a special session at 5:30 p.m. at the Angier Municipal Building. Mayor Pro Tem Sheveil Harmon moved to approve the agenda and later moved the motions authorizing the interim manager contract and the mayor’s signature; both actions were recorded as passing 4-0. The board returned to open session at 6:26 p.m., and the meeting adjourned at 6:28 p.m. on a motion by Commissioner Jennifer Sloan.

The board cited N.C.G.S. § 143-318.11(a)(6) as the statutory basis for entering closed session to discuss personnel. The contract specifies an interim start date of May 1, 2026; further contract terms and compensation were not specified in the meeting record. The transcript records the board’s authorization and the vote tally but does not list individual roll-call votes.

No other substantive actions were recorded in the public portions of the meeting. Mayor Bob Jusnes presided; Mayor Pro Tem Sheveil Harmon and Commissioner Jennifer Sloan were among the members recorded moving motions. Steve Neuschafer was listed as present and will assume the interim town manager role under the authorized contract.
