Town of Kernersville Board of Aldermen Regular Meeting, June 24th, 2026
Published: Jun 24, 2026
Kernersville Celebrates Parks and Recreation Month, Outlines Future Park Improvements
The Board of Aldermen recognized July as Parks and Recreation Month and acknowledged the significant contributions of the Parks and Recreation Department to the quality of life in Kernersville. The department manages various parks, including Ivy Redmond Park (which has grown to over 200 acres and hosts state cross-country tournaments), Harmon Park, and Fourth of July Park. Future plans include renovating Harmon Park, expanding the greenway to connect with Greensboro and Winston-Salem, and further expanding Ivy Redmond Park. The department actively seeks community input to improve and expand recreational opportunities, offering both active and passive recreation [cite: 147-215].
Kernersville Approves Notices of Intent to Reimburse for Budgeted Improvements and Equipment
The Board of Aldermen approved the notices of intent to reimburse for general improvements and equipment purchases that were included in the 2026-2027 budget. These notices allow the town to purchase items before securing loan funds and then reimburse themselves once the loan is obtained. Three separate items (E, F, and G) were approved for heavy equipment, general improvements, and equipment, respectively. All items were approved unanimously with motions made by various board members and seconds from others [cite: 393-428].
Kernersville Board Considers Enhanced 'Action Agenda' for Meeting Clarity
The Board of Aldermen discussed the need for a clearer 'action agenda' after meetings to ensure everyone understands the votes and motions made. Currently, the distributed 'action agenda' is basic and lacks meeting minutes. The board suggested that this could be a procedural improvement. Town Manager Mr. Swisser indicated that such an agenda could be sent to him, and he would include it in the distribution. The discussion also touched upon the complexity of recording motions and seconds accurately for the record [cite: 814-848].
Kernersville Board Approves Employee Salary and Compensation Pay Scale
The Board of Aldermen approved the town's salary and compensation pay scale, which aligns with the recently adopted budget. This pay scale was used to calculate the salaries and wages line item in the budget. The pay scale is updated annually based on studies conducted with the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments, which analyzes pay across various municipalities. The current update includes adjustments to the Community Development Director's pay range, correcting an error where the maximum was listed as zero and minimum as $7. The town also offers pay incentives for special teams and hires. The next pay study is anticipated to focus on the fire department [cite: 1032-1089].
Kernersville Board Approves Consent Agenda Including Tax Collection and Board Appointment
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included ordinances for the county to collect town taxes for 2026 and prior years, and an appointment to the Recreation Advisory Board. The consent agenda format is used for routine matters that do not require separate discussion unless requested by a board member or citizen. No items were requested for removal [cite: 851-874].
