# Halifax County Commissioners Regular Meeting - October 5, 2026 @ 9:30 PM

The Halifax County Commissioners’ regular meeting on October 5, 2026, included discussion of parks and recreation plans, employee retention, economic development, and county facility policies. The principal procurement-related action was approval of an operations and maintenance agreement with the Town of Littleton for water and sewer services, intended to take effect November 1. The agreement includes a fee schedule with annual not-to-exceed amounts and a list of approved providers, including Sharon Loader Service and the sanitary district for laboratory services; the county also sought authority for emergency repairs without waiting for a town board meeting. The transcript does not state the dollar limits in the fee schedule. Separately, commissioners discussed possible future parks, indoor recreation space, and land acquisition, but no related purchase or construction authorization was made. The county attorney also noted that the Roanoke Rapids school district may need county approval before altering or demolishing a building on property conveyed by the county in 1985; no action was taken on that issue.

Commissioners reviewed a proposed policy allowing beer or unfortified wine at certain rentals of county-owned facilities. They requested further clarification on security, disposal of containers, intoxication, and consequences for policy violations, and staff said they would revise the proposal; no vote was taken. The board also discussed HARK participant-support funding of $8,000 from opioid settlement MOA funds and a stated remaining McKenzie fund balance of $14,780.28. Commissioners sought a formal resolution and clearer accounting, but the transcript does not record a final vote on the request. No other contract awards or purchasing approvals were identified.
