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.

    The Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners will meet to discuss a variety of issues in their general meeting on Monday, November 14, 2011. This is the fifth general meeting post-budget, where the county commissioners, by a vote of 5 to 2, raised your property taxes by 6%.

    This general meeting will be be longer than normal but may be more uneventful than many of our past meetings. I state "may be more uneventful" because one never truly knows what might set off a county commissioner rumble.
