So as we start out every meeting, we'd like to start with our mission and our vision.
Our mission is to serve Mecklenburg County residents by helping improve their lives and community.
Our vision is Mecklenburg County will be a community of pride and choice for people to live, learn, work, and recreate.
For those that are watching that don't know, our FY26-27 board budget priorities are economic development, education, environmental stewardship, health equity and wellness, services for seniors, workforce development, and reducing racial disparities.
Those are the guardrails that we use to guide our actions and our decisions.
And so we like to make sure that we're lifting those up
our meetings with that being said there are three items on the agenda today just colleagues for your point of reference we're not taking any action necessarily but particularly on item number two the community resource center strategy it is going to be important that we give feedback certainly questions are in balance obviously
but giving feedback in the manager direction, staff direction, is gonna be critical as we make some decisions.
So with that being said, let me turn it over to the manager.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There are two items that I have for the board this afternoon.
As you mentioned, both of them are for information.
As Zach Lewis, our senior assistant to the county manager, make his way to the podium, the first one is pertaining to pennies.
You may have heard back on November the 12th of 2025, the federal government minted its last penny.
Accordingly, local governments across the entire country are exploring how to proactively implement policies and procedures to respond to this decision that the federal government has made.
In other words, we are planning for a penny shortage.
We've had a lot of internal conversations about this and this afternoon, Zach is gonna level set with you and then he's gonna present to you our plan on how to respond to that.
So with that, Mr. Chair, please recognize Zach Lewis.
Jack, you are recognized, sir.
Thank you, Zach.
