Summary
The Town of Clayton approved an interlocal agreement with Johnston County to share offsetting revenue tied to services the town provides to the county's Research and Training Zone (RTZ). Town Manager Rich Coppola said the county approved the agreement earlier the same day.
The Clayton Town Council voted to approve an interlocal agreement with Johnston County that will provide offsetting revenue to the town for services it provides to the county's Research and Training Zone (RTZ).
Town Manager Rich Coppola told the council that negotiations with the county had taken place over several months and that the Johnston County Board of Commissioners approved the agreement in its current form earlier that morning. "This essentially provides an offsetting revenue in part for the services that we provide to the research and training zone here in Johnston County," Coppola said.
A councilmember moved approval and a second was recorded; the record shows vocal approval and the mayor declared the motion carried. Coppola said staff are prepared to work with the county under the terms of the agreement but provided no further budget or effective‑date details on the record.
No public comment opposing or amending the agreement was recorded during the item.
