Summary
The board approved a 10-item consent agenda unanimously and included a resolution opposing House Bill 765; Commissioner (S5) said many counties plan similar resolutions and expressed strong opposition to the bill.
The Board of Commissioners approved a 10-item consent agenda by unanimous voice vote on May 19, which included a resolution opposing House Bill 765. During discussion, Commissioner (S5) flagged the resolution and urged the board to join other counties in opposing the proposed legislation, characterizing it as special-interest legislation that could affect many counties.
"I strongly oppose this House Bill 765 and I think our resolution, we will join a lot of counties across the state of North Carolina in approving this resolution," the commissioner said, citing recent discussions at the state-level Association of County Commissioners meeting. The chair then called for the motion, commissioners moved and seconded the consent agenda and the board voted aye unanimously.
