Craven commissioners to hear more on proposal for gun ban

The Craven County Board of Commissioners recently made it clear that it opposes banning weapons in public buildings.
The commissioners aren’t banning free speech, either. They will hear from the Craven County sheriff and two residents on the matter Monday.
After the Virginia Tech massacre, county employees brought back before the board a proposed ordinance banning guns in county buildings which had been shelved more than a year ago.
Chairman Johnnie Sampson, who with Commissioner Lee K. Allen appeared to favor a ban, asked to hear from the Sheriff Jerry Monette on firearm restrictions already in place. He is on the agenda for the board’s 7 p.m. meeting.
So are Michael Speciale, Craven County Republican Party chairman, and Bill Harper, a former commissioner, who said their comments will accent the importance of preserving the constitutional right to bear arms.
Four other residents are on the agenda, three scheduled to speak on the location of the new judicial complex and one on closing a portion of Gethsemane Road.
The board also expects to hear from Emergency Services Director Stanley Kite on Harlowe and Dover Volunteer Fire Departments’ requests to acquire new equipment and the final report by intern Megan Piner on county property inventory.
The board’s consent agenda, which is approved without discussion unless a commissioner requests that an item be removed, includes a $16,397 Bureau of Justice grant for laptops in sheriff’s deputies’ cars and an $8,000 contract with Holland Planning Consulting for a pre-disaster mitigation project and for a hazard mitigation update plan.
The consent agenda includes a county lease for a new five-acre hurricane debris site at the intersection of N.C. 101 and Blades Road in Harlowe and selling county surplus property on GovDeals.com.
Another item on the agenda is ending an on-premise sign moratorium, originally scheduled to end Aug. 19. That provision was not included when commissioners adopted a new off-premises sign ordinance which included wording to end the off-premises sign moratorium.
The meeting in the Commissioners’ Room on the second floor of the Craven County Administration Building is open to the public.
