Town of Kenansville interviewing for new public works director

The Kenansville Town Board of Commissioners held its monthly meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at town hall. Town Manager Anna West gave the board several updates. She started by going over the budget-to-actual report with the board. “We still got about 80% back in the FMS from the conversion with Black Mountain [from 2025-2026 budget]. The bank recs [reconciliation] are in progress, and we still have about 30% of the utility billing to go back into FMS and 40% of the payroll,” West explained. “Hopefully that’s finished by the end of the week. I’m going to reach out to Southern Software tomorrow to get some assistance from them, and about 10% of the revenue and expenses need to go back in so it can all be up to date.” She also told the board that the town has received some interest in the public works director position. The current director, Gary Benson, is retiring, and Dec. 31 is his last day. According to West, one applicant was interested in doing contract work, but they are no longer interested. The job was posted in September, and the town is actively conducting interviews. “We have one contract proposal that is out,” she

ECU Health community hospitals show a profit in FY 26

ECU Health’s community hospital system operated at a profit in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, but officials say there are storm clouds on the horizon that could negatively impact future finances. In a report to the ECU Health Community Hospital Board of Directors on Oct. 27, system leaders reported a $69.9 million operating profit for the year for the eight hospitals operating in Washington, Windsor, Tarboro, Roanoke Rapids, Nags Head, Kenansville, Edenton and Ahoskie. Revenues were ahead of budget expectations by about $28 million. Expenses were also higher than budgeted, but only by about $3.9 million. The difference allowed the hospital to record the operating surplus. System leaders were projecting $43.1 million in operating income, but that number came in at $69.9 million. Dr. Michael Waldrum, CEO of ECU Health and board chair of the community hospitals board of directors, notes that coming changes will have a significant impact on future financial reports. “Ending the fiscal year in a positive light, I think, is important. These numbers are not steady. We see in the front window, the One Big Beautiful Bill and other changes that are going to impact us a great deal,” Waldrum said. He said planned
