Haywood County approves routine administrative items, hires and modest grant amendment
Summary
The board approved a 12‑item consent agenda, authorized the 2024 order of collections, accepted nine July new hires, and approved a $5,000 Petco grant budget amendment for animal services.
The Haywood County Board of Commissioners approved a 12‑item consent agenda unanimously and handled several routine administrative matters in a single block.
Among regular agenda items, the board approved the annual order of collections for tax year 2024 — a routine authorization allowing the tax office to collect and, if necessary, enforce delinquent taxes — after tax collector Sebastian Coughlin explained the process. The board also approved a budget amendment to appropriate an unspent Petco grant of $5,000 to animal services for life‑saving purposes; Christian Owen, finance director, said the funds were received in the prior fiscal year and requested a roll‑forward into FY25.
Commissioners noted nine new hires in July and thanked staff for responsiveness to constituents. The hires listed by county staff included Katie Cutshaw, Samantha Smith, Cassidy Kelly, Jennifer Webb, Tanisha Fish, Eric Reitz, Ian Huffstutter, Samuel Snead and John Johnson. The board approved these items without recorded opposition.
