Pitt County Board of Commissioners Meeting - - 6/15/2026 6:00:00 PM

The Pitt County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on June 15, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board reviewed and approved financial reports including the May revenue and expenditure report, solid waste fund, EMS funds, and the tax collection report, noting strong revenue performance relative to expenditures. Legislative updates were provided, highlighting county advocacy efforts for infrastructure funding, including a $5 million water and sewer infrastructure request, and concerns about state legislative changes affecting local zoning and permitting processes. The board also discussed potential FEMA grant opportunities for fire departments, specifically the Aid to Firefighters and SAFER grants, but expressed reluctance for the county to apply directly to avoid competing with local fire departments. Additionally, the board approved the appointment of James Whitehurst to the Agriculture Advisory Board and addressed public access to county documents in compliance with federal ADA requirements. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting included important budget approvals and policy discussions that could impact future procurement and funding opportunities.
