Council read and approved resolutions (20260723a and 20260723b) to declare the badges and service weapons of Major Jeffrey Bass and Captain Joshua Leahy surplus and award them to each officer on retirement; council expressed appreciation for their decades of service.
Chief Voss asked the council to accept the retirements of Major Jeffrey Bass and Captain Joshua Leahy and presented resolutions that would declare each officer's badge and service weapon surplus and award them to the retiring officers for $1, consistent with NCGS 20-187.2.

The council voiced approval.
