Summary
The board approved a lengthy consent agenda that included a $820,000 allocation for school resource officers (a $500,000 increase), a $140,000 roof project for the community college, appointments to advisory boards, and interlocal EMS and recovery-court agreements.
County Manager Shane Fox walked commissioners through a multi-item consent agenda. Notable items included a 5.24 sales-tax allocation with $820,000 for school resource officers (a $500,000 increase over last year), $140,000 for a community college roof on Building A, and $150,000 for local road repairs at Dellshall School. Fox also presented reappointments and new members to the economic development advisory committee and appointments to the library board.
The consent agenda included interlocal arrangements: a 50/50 cost-sharing agreement with Burke County for funding a recovery court coordinator and a $15,000 renewal payment to Watauga County to house EMS crews in the North Caldwell EMS area. The board moved and approved the consent agenda as presented.
