NOVEMBER 13, 2025
6 P.M.
AGENDA
1. Call to order and welcome by Chairman Young
2. Announcements
(A) There will be a Special Meeting on December 1, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in accordance with N.C.G.C. §153A-39
(B) The Board of Health approved the early retirement of Health Director Kathy McGaha at their October 28, 2025, regular meeting. HR and Safety Director Tammy Keezer has been appointed as the Interim Health Director.
(C) NCDHHS has confirmed that they have not received any LIHEAP or HARRP (housing weatherization) funding for FY2025-26, which began October 1. The lack of federal and state budgets funding these programs and the lack of certainty around whether these funds will be accessible after the federal government shutdown means that the Housing Department will not be able to complete or continue any home weatherization projects until the funding is restored. Also, partial SNAP benefits for November have been approved and should be loaded on the food stamp cards this week, and WIC benefits have been approved through November 30, 2025.
