Public Safety acquires free surplus military vehicles
Havelock Public Safety Director Mike Campbell announced at the Monday commissioners meeting that the department has obtained surplus military equipment at no cost. A 1981 Chevy step-up van from Seymour Johnson AFB was free after a needed starter fix, and a three quarter-ton diesel 4x4 truck from Camp Lejeune was received last month for drug raids and search and rescue. All items were free, helping save taxpayers money.

Havelock rules on subdivision recreation land changed
Havelock commissioners trimmed the land set aside rule, deleting the four acre minimum. The measure keeps a fee in lieu option and requires public access, avoids lift stations on recreation land, and ties deed submission to final plans. Officials say problems with small or inaccessible sites persist.
