Pittsville commission votes to acquire 34836 Old Ocean City Road ('Smith' property)
Summary
The Pittsville Town Commission unanimously approved Resolution No. 2025-04 to proceed with acquisition of 34836 Old Ocean City Road (the "Smith" property) after discussing funding; the town manager said officials have sought the parcel for more than five years.
The Pittsville Town Commission voted unanimously Sept. 15 to proceed with purchase of 34836 Old Ocean City Road, the parcel locally known as the "Smith" property. Vice President Roland Adkins moved to proceed with the acquisition and Commissioner Bethany Miller seconded; the motion carried.
Town Manager Joe Mangini told commissioners the opportunity to acquire the parcel has been under consideration for more than five years and outlined the acquisition as part of the manager's written monthly report. Commissioners discussed the outlay of funds before the motion; the minutes record no further details of the purchase price or closing timeline.
The vote was recorded as unanimous in favor; the minutes do not list individual roll-call votes for this item. The commission also noted related budget items on the agenda, including introduced ordinances to amend the FY25 and FY26 municipal operating budgets, which will be considered for adoption at the Oct. 20 meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate staff will proceed with acquisition actions, but the minutes do not specify financing sources or an acquisition date. Further procedural steps — such as final approval, publication notices or closing details — were not specified in the meeting record.
