The Town of Angier Board of Alcohol Control on May 13 approved four quarterly disbursements totaling $178,910.08 and accepted a year-end audit contract, while deferring further discussion of a proposed expansion.
The meeting, chaired by Ethan Alexander-Davey, opened at 6:00 p.m. at 28 N. Raleigh Street. General Manager Maggie Sandrock asked to add two items to the agenda: a vote on quarterly disbursements and approval of the auditor contract; Member Tim Thompson moved to approve the amended agenda and Member Dennis Gilby seconded. The board approved the amendment unanimously.
Under old business, Member Howard Babbitt moved to table the board's expansion discussion until the next meeting; the motion passed unanimously.

The board scheduled a separate budget meeting for May 29, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. to resolve outstanding budget items.
