The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will meet Tuesday, Sept. 4, at 3 p.m. in the Rowan County Administration Building.

The change in schedule comes as the Rowan County administrative offices close Monday in observance of Labor Day.

Most business for the mid-afternoon meeting could be approved through the consent agenda, including proclamations for Patriot Day, First Responders Appreciation Day and Constitution week. The consent agenda also includes contracts between care organizations Bayada Home Health Care, Genesis- A New Beginning, Coltrane Life Center, Children’s Home Society of NC, and Abundant Living Adult Day Services and the Department of Social Services.

Just three items of new business fall on the regular agenda: an update from the register of deeds office, budget amendments and board appointments for the month of September.

Amendments account for new funds received through a Community Health Grant and a Homeland Security Grant; decrease projected revenues for the WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counseling per a state agreement; and budget for continuing efforts such as the Tourism Development Authority’s Railwalk project.

The following board appointments will be considered:

• Commissioner Chairman Greg Edds for reappointment to the Charlotte Regional Partnership Board.
• Tony Trexler and Jerry Hill for reappointment to the East Gold Hill Volunteer Fire Department Commissioners Board.
• Michelle Reid for the at-large vacancy in the extraterritorial jurisdiction for the Granite Quarry Planning Board.
• Gregory Lowe for the at-large vacancy in the extraterritorial jurisdiction for the Granite Quarry Zoning Board.
• George W. Benson for the at-large vacancy on the Rowan Transit System Advisory Committee.
• Timothy Malcom Proper to the Salisbury-Rowan Economic Development Commission to fill a spot left by Shawn Adelsberger’s resignation.
• Don Bringle to the Tourism Development Authority to fill a spot left by Paul Hall’s resignation.
