# Sampson County Board of Commissioners Meeting - October 5, 2026

The Sampson County Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting on October 5, 2026 included procurement-policy updates, opioid-settlement funding, and water-infrastructure project reports. The board approved the consent agenda by motion, including a resolution allocating $263,345 annually for two years from opioid settlement funds to support a school-based early-intervention program. The program is intended to identify and connect students at risk of substance-use disorders with appropriate support. The purchasing and contracting officer also requested updates to the county’s policy to reflect increased federal procurement thresholds: the micro-purchase threshold to $15,000 and the simplified acquisition threshold to $350,000, previously $250,000.

Water-project updates included the Ivanhoe booster pump station, reported about 80% complete; Clement area Phase Two, with bidding slated for January; and the Old Warsaw Road project, which is awaiting final state approval before design and survey work. Design and permitting are underway for northern and southern groundwater wells, with bidding to follow. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported. The economic development presentation discussed preparing industrial sites and infrastructure for future investment, including the Joe Britt Warren Park opportunity, but no specific spending action was taken.
