Commissioner seeks yard‑maintenance and junk‑vehicle ordinances; manager to send notice to Hertford over policing contract
Summary
Commissioner Timothy J. Corprew asked the Board to consider a yard maintenance ordinance and a junk vehicle ordinance and asked whether the Town of Hertford had signed a law-enforcement contract; the Board directed County Manager Shoaf to send the Town a letter citing state statute with a 7–10 day deadline.
Commissioner Timothy J. Corprew said he wants the county to consider a yard maintenance ordinance and a junk vehicle ordinance to address concerns about property upkeep. He asked the County Manager whether the Town of Hertford had signed the county’s law-enforcement contract; Manager Brandon Shoaf said the town had not signed the agreement and that, per Corprew, the contract to provide law enforcement services ended on June 30, 2026.
Following that exchange, Commissioner Kathryn M. Treiber moved that Manager Shoaf write a letter to the Town of Hertford citing applicable statutes and giving a 7–10 day deadline; the motion was seconded by James W. Ward and approved unanimously. The Board did not adopt ordinances at the meeting but directed staff to review Pasquotank County’s ordinance as a reference.
