Hertford council unanimously approves retreat contract, sewer study task order, branding and traffic devices
Summary
At its Feb. 13 meeting the Hertford Town Council voted unanimously on routine business: paying a retreat facilitator, accepting a consultant task order for a Winfall sewer merger study, adopting the brand “Cultivating the Arts,” funding two solar speed displays from Powell Bill funds, and approving a budget schedule change.
The Town of Hertford council approved a slate of routine items at its Feb. 13 regular meeting, voting unanimously on facilitator and consultant invoices, a town branding proposal and funding for traffic-monitoring equipment.
Council voted 5-0 to approve payment to N-Focus for the facilitator and expenses for the Feb. 25–26 council retreat after Manager Janice McKenzie Cole distributed the contract and a proposed agenda. Council asked First Tryon, the town’s financial advisors, to present in person and requested a financial report be provided before the retreat.
The council also accepted Task Order No. 5 for WithersRavenel under an AIA grant to complete a Winfall sewer merger study. Manager Cole described the work as an analysis using existing data; the council discussed whether Winfall should be notified if access or additional information is needed and then voted to accept the task order, 5-0.
Council adopted the marketing brand “Cultivating the Arts” (the daylily remains the town flower) to promote Hertford as a destination; the motion passed unanimously.
Manager Cole said two solar speed display units will be purchased and funded from the Powell Bill instead of through a budget amendment; the devices will log vehicle speeds and times of day on and near the S-bridge. Council approved the purchase 5-0.
Council also approved a revised budget schedule — moving final budget approval to the regular session on June 12 rather than on the same night as the public hearing — by a 5-0 vote.
