At its Feb. 16 meeting the Pitt County Board of Commissioners approved a package of finance and administrative items.
Chief Financial Officer Michael Hardy presented the monthly financial reports for the General Fund, Solid Waste and EMS funds showing year‑to‑date revenue and expenditure rates as of Dec. 31, 2025 and Jan. 31, 2026; the board approved the reports unanimously.

Consent and related motions approved multiple grants and budget amendments: an Emergency Solutions Grant supplemental award of $27,798 to support rapid re‑housing services (no county match); acceptance of a $15,000 NC East Alliance 10‑10‑15 microgrant for a business retention and expansion plan (no county funds); a budget amendment to transfer $247,250 for purchase of seven DSS vehicles; acceptance of $64,941 additional WIC funds; and smaller items including an insurance proceeds amendment for Emergency Management and a $300 NADDI stipend to the Sheriff’s Office. The board also approved requests to apply for several grants (NEHA food safety grant, NC Housing Finance Agency rehabilitation program, and an EPA Brownfields assessment grant application by Economic Development).
