Beaufort County Government's General Meeting Agenda: Monday, January 6, 2014 | Eastern North Carolina Now

The Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners Will Meet to Discuss the County's Business

    The Government of Beaufort County meets every month for at least one general meeting to discuss and act on the county's business. Beaufort County employs the county manager form of government which stipulates that the board of county commissioners allow the county manager to set the agenda, and bring issues before them.

    The Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners will meet to discuss a variety of issues in their general meeting on Monday, January 6, 2014. This is the seventh general meeting post-budget, when the Beaufort County Commissioners, by a vote of 4 to 3 elected to enact no meaningful cuts to the budget and shall, in time, borrow even deeper from the county's fund balance.

    This general meeting will have a number of noteworthy issues, but none as important as the 'Gang of Four' (Democrats: Jerry Langley, Al Klemm, Ed Booth and Robert Belcher) forging the purpose of building a new county jail over 6 miles from the county seat.
