Four Oaks board unanimously approves grant budget amendments, shifts funds from water to sewer project

The Town of Four Oaks Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a package of grant-related budget amendments during a special called meeting on May 8, 2026.

Grant Administrator Skip Green outlined the changes in a public hearing, saying the amendments update administrative references throughout grant documents and move money from a water project to a sewer project. Skip Green said the edits include changing named mayor references from "Mayor Vic Medlin" to "Mayor Mike Hines," adding the town administrator (Stanley) to the Individual Responsibilities and Internal Control sections, updating the Non-Discrimination Policy to list Mayor Mike Hines, and revising the organizational chart to list Mayor Mike Hines and add Town Council. The budget ordinance amendment relocates funds from a water project to a sewer project; the transcript did not specify dollar amounts.

There were no questions from members of the public or the commissioners during the hearing. Commissioner Carles Surles moved to close the hearing; Mayor Pro-Tem Tony Capps seconded and the board closed the hearing by unanimous vote. Mayor Pro-Tem Tony Capps then moved to approve the amendments as presented; Commissioner Carles Surles seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Mike Hines called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. The meeting record shows Mayor Pro-Tem Tony Capps, Commissioner Carles Surles and Linwood Parker in attendance; staff present included Grant Administrator Skip Green, Town Administrator Stanley, Finance Officer Rachel Raynor and Town Clerk Rhonda S. Lee. With no further business, the board adjourned at 10:12 a.m.

No dollar amounts or detailed line-item allocations for the water-to-sewer transfer were recorded in the minutes; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript beyond noting the motions passed unanimously.
