The Johnston County Board of Commissioners will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 16, at the courthouse in Smithfield. Commissioners are scheduled to:
- Hear a report on the audit of the County’s 2024-25 finances. Among other things, a draft of the audit shows a financially healthy County that needs to budget more for employee health insurance.
- Watch the video recording of the 2026 State of the County address by Commissioners Chairman Patrick Harris.
- Hear a funding request from the committee planning Johnston County’s celebration of America’s 250th birthday. The committee will seek up to $30,000 for the celebration, which will include a festival, reenactments and performances of the musical “1776.”
- Consider appointments to the Micro Planning Board and Board of Adjustment, the Benson Board of Adjustment, the Micro Firefighters Relief Fund Board of Trustees, the Johnston County Board of Health, the Johnston County Tourism Authority, the Veterans Services Advisory Board, and the Johnston County Planning Board.
- Ask the N.C. Department of Transportation to add the following streets to its maintenance roster: Two Bellas Court and Painters Place in Brighton Glen subdivision, Pleasant Grove Township; Earnest Way and River Banks Drive in Godfrey Farm subdivision, Beulah Township; and Sunrise Ridge Drive, Twilight Trail and Eclipse Court in Summer Ridge Plantation subdivision, Pleasant Grove Township.
- Proclaim February as Family Support Awareness Month. The request comes from the Johnston County Partnership for Children.
- Hold a closed session on a legal matter.
- Hear a request from the Sheriff’s Office to declare a vehicle surplus. The 2025 Dodge Durango was declared a total loss after striking a deer.
- Consider two budget revisions. The Health Department has received an additional $7,989 for the Women, Infants and Children program. The Sheriff’s Office has received $82,327.56 in insurance proceeds, federal dollars and miscellaneous revenue.
- Hold public hearings on two rezoning requests. Langdon Road Farm-LAN LLC wants Commissioners to rezone 3.9 acres in the 200 block of Langdon Road in Elevation Township. The company wants to place a contractor’s office there. The parcel would also have a storage yard, mini-storage and open storage. Separately, LA Aggregate Materials LLC wants the County to rezone 77.4 acres in the 2300 block of Richardson Bridge Road in Bentonville Township.
