Board meetings and strategic plans from Craven County
The board conducted a public hearing regarding the FY26 Community Development Block Grant for neighborhood revitalization, subsequently approving a resolution to submit a formal application. The commissioners declined a property purchase offer from the Board of Education and approved a consent agenda covering tax releases, refunds, and budget amendments. Additionally, the board received reports on a fire truck refurbishment project by the Little Swift Creek Fire Department, approved an ambulance franchise application for Medex Medical Transport Services, and made several appointments to local boards, including the Community Child Protection Team and the Fireman's Relief Fund Board of Trustees.
The board addressed several financial and administrative matters, including budget amendments for the Sheriff's Office regarding a vehicle donation and a grant rollover for behavioral health services. Additionally, the board approved a budget amendment for the ENC TechBridge Grant to support facility usage and university engineering capstone projects. Various appointments were made to local committees, including the Fire Tax Commissioners Board, the Adult Care Home Advisory Committee, and the Craven County Clean Sweep Committee. A resolution was also adopted to honor a long-term professional upon their retirement from Trillium Health Resources.
The meeting included two public hearings regarding CARTS transportation services: one for proposed changes to fixed bus routes and the implementation of an on-demand pilot program, and another for the FY28 unified grant application to the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The Board also reviewed the Craven County Schools five-year facility needs survey, acknowledging its receipt as required by state statute.
