Some of the actions the Moore County Commissioners’ Court take aren’t ones that require a full write-up. Every action the commissioners take is important and need to be reported to let the taxpayers know what their county representatives are doing. The Journal will pull some of those actions out and write a report, but the rest of them will be published in this form.

During their May 9, 2016, meeting, the Moore County Commissioners’ Court took the following actions:
