Council to accept $30,005.54 and supplies donated by Oak Island, to allocate by future budget amendment
Summary
The council reviewed a resolution to accept $30,005.54 and a 26-foot box truck of supplies donated by Oak Island following hurricane response; the funds and supplies will be considered for allocation at a future public meeting and via a budget amendment.
Bruce Mountain officials presented a resolution to accept financial donations and in-kind supplies from the Town of Oak Island following relief efforts after a hurricane.
Bill read the resolution, describing a ceremonial check and additional supplies delivered by Oak Island organizers. According to the resolution language, the donations total $30,005.54 and included a 26-foot box truck of needed supplies the town has already received. The resolution directs the council to consider the most impactful uses for the funds and to amend the 2025 budget ordinance at a future public meeting to record the donations as unrestricted revenue and appropriate funds to departments, functions or projects.
Council members thanked Oak Island and staff for coordinating receipt of the donations and noted that the uses of the funds will be determined in a subsequent public meeting with a quorum present. No formal vote to adopt the resolution is recorded in the provided transcript.
The council also noted ongoing work by staff and regional partners on stormwater and EDA-funded water-line projects; the acceptance of donated funds and supplies is separate from those engineering and grant-driven efforts.
