The Northampton County Board of Commissioners handled a series of routine procedural and administrative items during a short meeting.
The board approved the meeting agenda after a motion to correct item dates and approved the consent agenda covering minutes from February through December 2025.
On infrastructure procurement, county staff presented an amendment to the Phase 6 water system improvements documents to add Build America/Buy America compliance language required by the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act. County staff said the language places domestic-preference obligations on the contractor and engineer but does not change the contract price of $585,000; the board approved the amendment.
Planning and zoning staff asked the board to appoint a new Board of Adjustments: the body requires five members and two alternates. Staff reported difficulty reaching current members and asked that the county post an application notice on the county website and that commissioners solicit recommendations.
The tax department reported three upset-bid sale resolutions tied to properties owned by Darius Ransom (staff did not seek action on those items this meeting) and requested approval of motor-vehicle refunds totaling $712.45 and ad valorem tax appeals totaling $11,189.32; the board approved both items.
County Manager had no additional items; commissioners used the final comments period to thank first responders for work during a recent ice storm. The meeting adjourned by voice vote.
No formal roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript; actions were approved by voice vote.
