Mayor Kyle Shipp resigned as the Town of Pittsboro appointment and the Town of Pittsboro appointed John Foley as their representative. Therefore, this left a vacancy in District 2 and Chair Dasher is appointing David Morton.

 

Stephanie Dixon has resigned and leaves a vacancy in District 5 for Commissioner Gomez-Florez to appoint, which makes available two vacancies for District 5.

 

The last vacancy is an At-Large seat. AHAC recommended the appointment of George Cianciolo.

 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Goal 9: Provides equitable access to high-quality education, housing and community options for all and Goal 10: Fosters a healthy community.

 

Budgetary Impact: None
