At-a-glance: key votes — consent agenda, Stryker monitors, tractor, opioid funds and budget amendments

HARNETT COUNTY — At its meeting, the Board of Commissioners took votes on several procurement, grant and budget items, approving routine and programmatic requests while denying one capital change order and tabling a state-policy resolution.

Approved items • Consent agenda: Approved by voice vote (items not itemized in the public record tonight).

• Stryker life packs: Commissioners approved a sole-source request to purchase Stryker cardiac-monitoring units after staff reported positive field testing and said the vendor provides a specific model the county needs.

• John Deere tractor: The board approved a state-contracted purchase of a John Deere 5067E utility tractor for $60,009.34 with a $22,000 trade-in, financed from reserves.

• Opioid funds: The board approved a $65,000 award from opioid-settlement/task-force funds to Harnett United Police Activities League for early-intervention programming; the funding period was set through Dec. 31, 2027 to allow full expenditure.

• Budget amendments: Commissioners approved requested budget amendments presented by the county manager.

Denied or tabled items • Morgue change order: A requested $164,088 change order for the Harnett County Morgue (utility and hydrant work tied to Town of Lillington permitting) was denied; staff will work with the town and return with options.

• Senate Bill 349 resolution: Commissioners tabled a proposed resolution urging support for Senate Bill 349 until members have more time to review the bill’s local implications.

Several motions were decided by voice vote rather than roll-call; the record does not include a roll-call tally for each vote.
