Board Of Commissioners Regular Meeting

The Buncombe County Board of Commissioners will meet on January 2, 2024, to discuss a variety of topics impacting the county. The agenda includes updates on financial reports, soil and water conservation programs, and a presentation regarding Waste Pro’s residential service fee increase. Commissioners will also hear details on the closeout of a Coronavirus program funded by federal grants, with a public hearing planned to finalize this process.

Several key decisions are expected at the meeting, including approving changes to the county's Solid Waste Ordinance and joining a state investment pool. Commissioners also considered a salary increase for the Board of Elections Director but decided to postpone that decision, requesting more information. Finally, appointments were made to key advisory boards like the Mountain Area Workforce Development Board and Historic Resources Commission.

Residents may be particularly interested in learning more about the Waste Pro fee increase and the details surrounding the CDBG Coronavirus Program closeout. Information on these topics, along with other county business, will be discussed and potentially decided upon at the meeting. A public hearing regarding the CDBG program is scheduled for a future date, and further details will be announced.
