Board of County Commissioners on 2026-05-11 7:00 PM - Regular Session
Monday, May 11, 2026
What's on this agenda
The board's central item is County Manager Claudia Hager's presentation of the FY 2026-27 recommended budget, the formal kickoff of the county's budget season. The board also holds a public hearing on a package of Comprehensive Plan evaluation-and-assessment and place-type map amendments, and declares its intent to join the statewide C-PACE program (which lets commercial and nonprofit property owners finance energy and resilience upgrades via a property lien), setting a May 26 public hearing on it.
The consent agenda is long and mostly infrastructure and contracts: a $388,046 engineering contract amendment for the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion study, adoption of a state-required water supply plan for the Rougemont system, a $36,000 sole-source reentry-support contract with Father's on the Move for the Sheriff's Office, a sewer collection-system repair contract amendment, a $226,203 computer-aided dispatch system for the Sheriff's Office, over $1.1 million in added Social Services funding, mental health services and security engineering contracts at the detention center, an electric easement to Duke Energy for a new lift station, a generator installation and asbestos remediation project, April property tax releases and refunds, and revisions to the county's fund balance policy. The board also proclaims Memorial Day, EMS Week, Mental Health Awareness Month, Treatment Court Month, and a day honoring professional clerks to county boards.
