Commissioners reject proposal to close Fender Bay Road after split vote
Summary
A proposal to close Fender Bay Road was considered; Commissioner Tom Morris supported closure but the board voted against it after Commissioner Buddy Willis broke the tie opposing closure. The road will remain open pending any future action.
The Atkinson County Board of Commissioners considered a proposal to close Fender Bay Road and ultimately declined to close it. Commissioner Tom Morris said he was in favor of closing the road; Commissioners Charlton Gillis, Johnny Durrance and Gloria Farrell opposed closure. Commissioner Buddy Willis broke a tie by opposing the closure, and the board did not move forward with closing the road.
The minutes record positions taken by individual commissioners but do not show a formal recorded roll‑call motion text, mover, or second for the closure proposal. No additional mitigation, study, or timeline for reconsideration was specified in the minutes; the decision stands as no action to close was taken.
