The Town of Four Oaks Board of Commissioners on Oct. 21 approved several administrative and capital items including bank-authorized signers, an A/E services award and budget ordinances funded in part with American Rescue Plan Act and State Legislature SL 2023-134 grant funds.
Commissioner Kim Robertson moved to adopt a resolution updating bank account signers and removing employees no longer with the town for United Community Bank and KS Bank; the motion passed unanimously. The board then voted to award McKim & Creed professional architectural/engineering services for the SL2023-134 elevated water tank project.
In a grouped set of motions, the board adopted project budget ordinances for the police station conversion, pump-station upgrades, business park sewer and water-line extensions, and stormwater drainage improvements.
