The Yancey County Commissioners regular monthly meeting will be held tomorrow evening at 6 pm instead of tonight due to Veterans Day. On the agenda for that meeting, besides the usual business matters, there will be comments on the proposed animal ordinance for Yancey County and the NC Dogs Laws. After comments it is expected the commissioners will vote on the ordinance. At last month’s commissioners’ meeting several people spoke for and against the proposed ordinance.
In other business commissioners are expected to approve a grant from AMY Wellness for Yancey County Transportation. The $202,110 grant is in conjunction with Mitchell County Public Transportation Authority and is expected to be used for funding software for coordination of transportation between Avery, Mitchell and Yancey counties. This will include tablets and mobile service in vehicles for accurate accountability and is necessary due to Medicaid changes.
