Thank you. We are the Board of Trustees and related leaders to increase their awareness of parental support for stabilized families of Chatton County about this 27th day of July of 2026. Thank you. Resolution is last. Next on the agenda is item 260398. A vote to adopt a resolution recognizing overdose awareness day in Chatton County. Who is your vote? Please. A resolution of the Chatton County Board of Commissioners recognizing overdose awareness day. Whereas, drug overdose remains a significant public health crisis especially in the United States, North Carolina, and financially affecting individual families and community from all of them. And whereas, substance use disorder is the treatable health condition, yet stigma and misunderstanding often prevent individuals from seeking help and accessing recovery supports. And whereas, the impacts of overdose extends beyond the invisible, leading the families, friends, co-workers, and human beings, creating the loss of loved ones and COVID with the lasting effects of addiction. And whereas, overdose awareness serves as an opportunity to honor the loss of overdose, recognize those who continue to struggle with substance use disorder, and support those in recovery. And whereas, recovery is a possible and countless individual families, peer support specialists, healthcare providers, and first responders, treatment professionals, community organizations, and advocates, work can be made to promote prevention, treatment, harm reduction, …

And for those of you who have attended these meetings before, we have new mics. Even at the comment desk, which we've had a lot of complaints where you guys can't hear the person speaking, so hopefully this will make a big difference. I mean, I can already hear a difference. Yeah. So hopefully this will make a big difference. All right. With those changes, can I have a motion to approve the work session agenda? I'll make a motion to approve the amended work session agenda. Thank you. So moved. All in favor? Aye. Thank you. And the agenda is approved. All right.

This is tied up in a set of issues we talked about before related to the pay for the Superior Court clerk. And I'd like to understand where that issue has advanced in our budget work over the last few years before we take action on this. So if we could move this to the agenda either on May 18th or a subsequent meeting, if we haven't had a chance to talk about it as a board yet. Okay. Let's move forward with approval of the regular session, and then we can move forward with the consent with that item. Was there a motion? It says, Madam Chair, just going by the notes, it says it includes at this point moving items from the consent agenda . I stand corrected. Thank you. Yeah, but this agenda item has nothing to do with us, no bearing on us having that conversation at a future board meeting. This is just presentation of a check that is due to the county. There are two different things, my understanding is. Presenting a check is not part of this item. That's a different topic. The agenda item calls for our board to approve exceeding the salary set by statute for the general manager of the ABC board. …

Thank you. It's 1 o'clock, so I'm going to go ahead and call the work session to order. We need to have any additions, deletions, or corrections to the work center agenda. I have session agenda. I have one. It's a resolution of the Chatham County Board of Commission ers in support of the Kids Over Corporations campaign to prioritize public schools and communities. I'd like to add this. We have quite a few items under resolutions. Is it okay with everybody? Yes. Ready to make a motion? I'll make a motion to approve as amended. So I have one thing to suggest adding. Okay. Do you want to do it all together? Yeah, let's go for it. My ask is that we add a brief conversation of the vacancy filling process timeline in law. I don't think it should take long, but with my resignation coming over the next couple of months, I want to make sure that the public has visibility on how all of that transpires. I've heard some rumors and myths out there circulating that might be helpful to address. Is everyone all right with that?
