Swansboro board weighs budget adoption, flood rules; Planning Board to review enforcement text
The Swansboro Board of Commissioners last month considered adoption of the town’s fiscal year 2027 budget, including a proposed tax rate of $0.35 per $100 valuation, along with salary schedules and a fee schedule. The item had been tabled from the board’s June 9 meeting. Also on the agenda were public hearings on two text amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance — one to correct a discrepancy in the definition of “Fence (Protective)” and another to adopt updated flood damage prevention rules from the National Flood Insurance Program. Consent items included a budget ordinance amendment and tax refunds totaling $188.27 for vehicle taxes. Minutes from the June 23 meeting have not yet been published, so official votes are not yet available.
The Swansboro Tourism Development Authority held a public hearing and considered adopting its own FY 2026/2027 budget during a special meeting on June 25. The balanced budget was prepared in accordance with state law and presented to the board on April 9. No revenue or expenditure amounts were listed in the agenda. The authority also considered approving minutes from its April 9 regular meeting. Again, minutes of the special meeting have not been published.
Planning Board to vote on enforcement amendment
The Swansboro Planning Board is scheduled to meet on July 7 to consider a text amendment to UDO § 152.130-135 covering code enforcement and civil penalties. The amendment was prompted by a discrepancy discovered by the town attorney. The board may vote to recommend approval to the Board of Commissioners along with a consistency statement.
Coming up
