Cabarrus County schedules July 21 public hearing ahead of November GO bond referendum
Summary
Staff announced a July 21 public hearing and subsequent board actions (bond orders and resolution) as the final steps before the November GO bond referendum covering schools and community college projects.
Cabarrus County staff briefed commissioners on steps required ahead of a November general-obligation bond vote, including a public hearing proposed for July 21 and later adoption of bond orders and a resolution calling the referendum.
Jim Howden told the board the public hearing is required prior to the bond vote and that the board would adopt bond orders for school and community-college projects and a combined resolution after the hearing. The board agreed to place the public hearing and adoption items on the July 21 action agenda; no vote on the bond occurred July 6.
Commissioners discussed staff's prior work with the Local Government Commission and thanked staff for preparation. The public hearing date and the plan to bundle schools and the community college into one referendum were confirmed.
Next steps: the board will hold the July 21 public hearing, then consider adopting bond orders and the resolution calling the referendum following that hearing.
