Goldsboro City Council Declares June National Gun Violence Awareness Month
The Goldsboro City Council proclaimed June 2026 as National Gun Violence Awareness Month. The proclamation acknowledges the ongoing impact of gun violence on communities, the importance of preventing firearm-related injuries and deaths, and the roles of various organizations in promoting safety. The council encouraged residents to honor victims, support survivors, and participate in violence prevention efforts. The proclamation was received by Archbishop Anthony Slater, who ministered to families affected by gun violence, sharing his personal experiences of loss and his commitment to serving the community.
Goldsboro Council Tables Decision on Investment Advisory Services Contract
The city council considered a contract for investment advisory services. The finance director presented a proposal from Valley View, which was selected as the most responsive and cost-effective option, with an annual cost of $39,000. The firm specializes in providing investment advice for public funds, aiming to increase the city's yield on its idle cash, estimated to be around $50 million. The contract is for three years but allows for cancellation with 30 days' notice. Council members inquired about the potential return on investment, the firm's qualifications, and the process for selecting the vendor. While the initial estimate suggested a potential return of at least $100,000 annually, the council decided to table the motion to allow the firm to present its services in person at a future meeting, despite concerns about potential delays impacting the investment period.
Goldsboro Proclaims Juneteenth and Announces Community Festival
The Goldsboro City Council proclaimed June 19th, 2026, as Juneteenth National Independence Day. The proclamation recognizes the historical significance of Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States and the celebration of African-American freedom, history, and heritage. The council acknowledged its federal holiday status and encouraged residents to participate in celebrations that foster historical learning and cultural understanding. Following the proclamation, Councilwoman Taylor discussed the upcoming Juneteenth Unity and Heritage Festival, detailing its location, time, and activities, including a dinner hosted by the Dill Goss alumni and friends and a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the James and Pine Street Parklet.
Goldsboro Assumes Local Authority for Erosion and Sediment Control
The council considered an ordinance to establish Article 6.7, Erosion and Sediment Control, within the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). This measure seeks local delegation from the state's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for erosion and sediment control oversight. Under this delegation, applicants will submit land disturbance permit applications and control plans to the city for approval before obtaining state permits. The city will then monitor sites for compliance. The local standard will cover plan reviews for disturbances over 0.5 acres, stricter than the state's 1-acre minimum. The presentation included images illustrating common issues at construction sites, such as inadequate sediment control, leading to clogged storm drains and infrastructure problems. Granting the city this authority will allow for direct enforcement, addressing the state's limitations in manpower and response time. The ordinance was adopted.
Goldsboro Marks 250th Anniversary of US Founding
The Goldsboro City Council recognized 2026 as the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. The proclamation highlights the nation's journey of freedom, civic responsibility, and resilience through challenges. It emphasizes the contributions of generations of Americans in building stronger communities and advancing the nation. The council encouraged residents to reflect on shared history, honor sacrifices, celebrate diversity, and reaffirm their commitment to building a future worthy of upcoming generations. Following the proclamation, a representative from the Chamber of Commerce detailed plans for a Fourth of July event to commemorate the anniversary, including entertainment, food trucks, fireworks, and special addresses, emphasizing community unity and pride.
