Beaufort County Government's General Meeting Agenda: Monday, March 12, 2012 | 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, March 12, 2012. This is the ninth general meeting post-budget, when the Beaufort County Commissioners, by a vote of 5 to 2, raised your property taxes by 6%.

    The most essential item to be considered this month may well be when Vann Lewis of McDavid Associates meets with the county commissioners for the consideration for the approval of a water Line extension project to connect the county waterlines on the south side of the Pamlico River with the water lines on the South Side of the Pamlico River.
