Wilson's Mills council approves fee changes, audit contract and electronic-payments policy; hears fire and public-health updates
Summary
Council adopted an amended fee schedule that adds a beer and wine license fee, approved an audit contract with Thompson, Price, Adams & Co., and adopted a resolution authorizing electronic payments under state rules. The meeting also included updates from the fire chief and Johnston County Public Health.
At its June 15 meeting, the Wilson's Mills Town Council approved several administrative items and heard community updates.
The council adopted an amended fee schedule that adds a beer and wine licensing fee under administration. Councilmember Doris Riley moved adoption and Mayor Pro-tem JC Triplett seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The council awarded the town's annual audit contract to Thompson, Price, Adams & Co., P.A. Finance Director Connie Lassiter said the approval at the meeting formalizes the contract after a May vote to award the engagement; Mayor Pro-tem JC Triplett moved the audit contract approval and Councilmember David McGowan seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Council also adopted a resolution authorizing the town to engage in electronic payments under North Carolina law and directing the finance officer to adopt written policies for pre-auditing and disbursing public funds electronically. Lassiter told council the policy will help the town comply with state administrative rules and provide extra protection for non-preaudited purchases. The resolution passed unanimously on a motion by Mayor Pro-tem JC Triplett and a second by Councilmember Tim Brown.
In the open-forum segments, Fire Chief Jason Moore updated council on changes in the fire districts and noted the fire department is not part of town government but wanted to keep council informed. Kimetha Fulwood of Johnston County Public Health outlined local programs, including lifestyle and chronic-pain self-management classes, and briefed council on required vaccines for incoming seventh- and 12th-graders; she distributed informational packets to council and staff.
The council recessed into closed session at 8:01 p.m. to consult with the town attorney under N.C.G.S. 143-318.11(a)(3) and returned at 9:01 p.m. The meeting adjourned immediately afterward.
