The Wayne County Board of Commissioners convened on April 7, 2026, for a regular meeting that included several procurement-related actions and budget discussions. Key procurement items included the approval of a contract award to Ardura for professional airport engineering and planning services, recommended by the Jet Port Advisory Board based on experience and support levels. Additionally, the board approved a contract with B&M Roofing for roof removal and replacement at 224-226 East Walnut Street, with a bid amount of $286,789, accompanied by a budget amendment. Budget amendments were also approved to realign payroll and operational funds across various departments, including solid waste, sheriff's office, services on aging, and fleet parts inventory. The board approved a second amendment to a purchase and sale agreement with Helsion US Incorporated, extending the closing date to on or before May 15, 2026. Several proclamations recognizing community and public service months were adopted, but no new appointments or major capital projects were reported. The meeting concluded with committee reports and a call for attendance at upcoming county advocacy days in Raleigh.
