Notice is hereby given that the Alamance County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing at its regular meeting on Monday, March 18th at 7:00 PM or as soon thereafter as the Board can receive citizen feedback on the current Alamance County Noise Ordinance. The public hearing will be held in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room, 2nd Floor of the County Office Building, 124 West Elm Street, Graham, NC.
The public is invited to attend and comment on the county’s current Noise Ordinance. There will be a limit of 5 minutes per public hearing speaker, depending on attendance. Disabled persons with special request for assistance, please contact the ADA Coordinator at (336) 570-4032 48 hours prior to the meeting during normal business hours.
A Special Meeting will be conducted at 1:00pm on Thursday, February 14, 2019, in the County Commissioners’ Meeting Room, 124 W. Elm Street in Graham.
Due to the possible impending partial federal government shutdown, the Board of Commissioners will meet to discuss the renegotiated contract rates to hold U.S. Marshals and ICE detainees at the Alamance County Detention Facility. If approved, this will allow federal employees time to process the contracts and minimize the potential financial ramifications that could delay federal payment to Alamance County.
“A partial federal government shutdown has implications that affect agencies, local governments, and others,” said Chair Amy Scott Galey. “It is important for Alamance County to take the necessary steps to ensure that the County’s finances are handled appropriately during this time.”
At this Special Meeting the Board will review the U.S. Marshals contract that would pay $82.00 per day per detainee housed at the jail. The Board will also review the proposed ICE contract that would pay $135.00 per detainee per day with a guaranteed minimum of 30 beds for the first 30 days and 50 beds for the remaining 11 months. If the contracts are approved, the Board may also amend the current year’s budget to reflect how additional revenues may be spent.
“News outlets currently report that Congressional negotiators have reached an agreement to avoid a shutdown,” continued Chair Galey. “However, at this time, it appears that the President has not approved any compromise. Therefore, the Alamance County Board of Commissioners will plan to conduct a special meeting until the possibility of a federal shutdown has been resolved. If it becomes clear that there will be no shutdown, the special meeting will be canceled.”
Please take notice that the Alamance County Board of County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Monday, February 4that 9:00 AM to consider the following:

Amy Galey, Chair of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners, has called for a special meeting of the Board to be held Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. The Board will discuss whether to request that the NC Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, hold a public hearing in Alamance County as part of the Department’s permit application review process for the Alamance Aggregates, LLC project.
At the regularly scheduled October 15, 2018, meeting of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners, the Board became aware that Alamance Aggregates, LLC, is engaged in the permitting process with the State of North Carolina to open a quarry in the Snow Camp community. A number of residents from Snow Camp attended the October 15 meeting to voice their concerns about the impact of the project. Because the project had been permitted at the county level according to a 2011 ordinance, which did not require review above staff level, the Board of Commissioners was unaware of the proposed quarry. Because Alamance Aggregates met the requirements of the ordinance, the permit was issued.
“This may give the community an opportunity to have their concerns fully addressed and heard,” Chair Amy Scott Galey stated. “If the Board agrees to ask the State to have a public hearing, it will be held in Alamance County. The day and time would be determined by the State, and the county will do all it can to make sure that residents are kept informed.”
