Board of County Commissioners - Sep 8, 2026
The proposed garage site near Rocky Point Elementary has cleared geotechnical and rezoning work, but the project needs school board commitment before the board will fund full design.
Board of County Commissioners - Aug 3, 2026
The consent agenda included replacement vehicles for the Sheriff's Office and Jail transport, rifles, tactical armor, and EMS network equipment — together over $190,000. No outcome is on record.
Board of County Commissioners - May 4, 2026
The board approved funding for a shared garage serving schools, county fleet, and Pender EMS & Fire across from Rocky Point Elementary — covering 743+ vehicles. It passed 3-2.
General - Apr 23, 2026
County, schools and EMS/Fire all work out of aging, inadequate garages. A combined facility across from Rocky Point Elementary could service 800+ vehicles in one place. The $153,000 design study is the first step; real cost is unknown until that's done.
