Board of Commissioners Pre- - May 19 2026

The Iredell County Board of Commissioners held a pre-agenda meeting on May 19, 2026, focusing on several administrative and procurement-related matters. Key procurement discussions included approval to execute a new three-year contract with Caremark CVS Employers Health as the county's pharmacy benefit manager, replacing Blue Cross Blue Shield to achieve lower rates. The board also reviewed a request to declare a mobile command RV surplus and authorize its transfer to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office for continued public service, with formal action scheduled for a later meeting. Additionally, the finance department presented amendments to funding plans for juvenile crime prevention programs and apparatus replacement, including reallocating $275,000 from a tanker to an engine replacement at Lone Hickory without additional county funds. The board approved recognizing a capital contribution of a rescue truck from Shepherd's Fire and Rescue to the county's assets. A public hearing was scheduled for June 2, 2026, to consider the fiscal year 2027 budget. Several routine approvals, including tax releases and meeting minutes, were also consented to. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session for economic development discussions.
