The Johnston County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on August 3, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. The board approved the acquisition of UKG Ready time and attendance software from Andrews Technology, with a fiscal year budget not to exceed $234,861, including provisions for license flexibility and annual renewal approvals. Additionally, the board passed a resolution to declare official intent to reimburse expenditures related to the Johnston County Regional Airport remote tower project, allowing future borrowing of up to $4.5 million subject to federal grants. Public utilities presented a water and wastewater service request for a speculative warehouse and distribution facility in the town of Wilson Mills, with the developer responsible for any necessary downstream infrastructure upgrades. The board also discussed potential expansion of the county fire protection service district to include interested municipalities, with plans for public hearings and budget considerations in early 2027. The tax administrator reported a 99.73% collection rate for fiscal year 2025-26 and outlined property tax relief programs for seniors and disabled residents. No contract awards or RFPs were explicitly mentioned beyond the software procurement. The meeting concluded with a closed session for legal consultation.
