The Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners Will Meet to Discuss the County's Business

    The Government of Beaufort County meets every month for at least one General Meeting to discuss and act on the county's business. Beaufort County employs the County Manager Form of Government, which stipulates that the board of county commissioners allow the county manager to set the agenda, and bring issues before them.

    This is defininitely the third or second slowest, least ambitious general meeting in the last number of months with the last scheduled agenda item at 7:40 PM. The most interesting moment of this upcoming meeting is possibly when the commissioners meet with Superintendent Don Phipps meets with the county commissioners for the second time - the first that will be videocast.
