The Vance County Board of Commissioners have added work sessions to their regular calendar of activities.
The board took action at its April 3 meeting to incorporate the informal work sessions between regularly scheduled monthly meetings, according to information from Clerk Kelly Grissom.
The work sessions will take place on the third Monday of the month, beginning at 4 p.m., with the exception of June, July and December of 2023.
During its annual planning retreat, the board “expressed interest in having a second workshop-type meeting each month,” said County Manager Jordan McMillen. “During the discussion, it was apparent they wanted to use these meetings to be better informed of issues that were coming up at the following regular meeting,” McMillen explained.
Regular board meetings are held on the first Monday of the month, beginning at 6 p.m.
The first work session is scheduled for Monday, April 17, followed by a budget work session on May 15. After a break for the summer, work sessions continue on Aug. 21, Sept. 18, Oct. 16 and Nov. 20.
Work sessions are for information only and include no action items, Grissom noted. Public comments are not part of a work session.
