The Pitt County Planning Board swore in Steve Little after the Board of Commissioners appointed him to fill a partial planning‑board term that expires Sept. 30, 2025.

Jonas Hill, planning staff, told the board that the commissioners had appointed Little to replace a vacancy and that the partial term will end Sept. 30, 2025; Hill also said Little would be eligible for reappointment after that date. Staff administered the oath; a county official identified as Tab led the oath and Little repeated the affirmation to “support and maintain the constitution and laws of the United States and the State of North Carolina” and to “faithfully discharge my duties of office as a member of the planning board.”

Board members welcomed Little and Hill thanked him for his willingness to serve. The swearing‑in was recorded during the meeting; there was no vote recorded at this meeting because the appointment was made by the Board of County Commissioners prior to the planning board session.

Little’s partial term and the date it expires were noted in the meeting packet; planning staff said he will be eligible for reappointment after the partial term ends.
