After a summer break, many of our local governments’ meetings are back in full swing this month. Chapel Hill’s town council held a special meeting on Monday to go over all of its fall projects. The Town of Carrboro is welcoming in a new town manager and will have a new mayor by the end of the year. A new Orange County commissioner is set to be selected by the end of the week. And many of the governments are still meeting virtually amid a renewed spread of COVID-19.

Here is a full list of the scheduled meetings for elected officials across Orange and Chatham Counties for September.

Chapel Hill Town Government

The Chapel Hill Town Council has three meetings scheduled, including on the very first day.

In its Wednesday, September 1 meeting, the council will reapprorpriate budget funds for the 2021-2022 fiscal year and review some special use permits. The council is also expected to rename the Peace and Justice Plaza by engraving it with the names of Robert Seymour and Edith Wiggins. The meeting is set to begin virtually at 7 p.m.

Agendas for the Wednesday, September 22 and Wednesday, September 29 meetings have not yet been released. Each meeting, however, is also scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Carrboro Town Government

The Carrboro Town Council is set to meet three times through the month of September, beginning on the second Tuesday of the month.  The elected officials are set to conduct business meetings on September 14, 21 and 28 with each set to begin at 7 p.m.

Hillsborough Town Government

The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners returned slightly earlier than the elected officials for Chapel Hill and Carrboro, having picked up their bi-weekly meeting schedule again in August.

That pattern will continue in September, as the board will meet on Monday, September 13 and Monday, September 27. While September 6 will mark two weeks since the commissioners’ last meeting, the town government will be closed to honor Labor Day.

Both business meetings are set to be held virtually and will begin streaming at 7 p.m. on the town’s YouTube page.

Orange County Government

September is a busy month for the Orange County Board of Commissioners as they appoint a new member to fill the vacant commissioners seat on Thursday, September 2. The county commissioners will also hear from the election advisory committee about potential changes to county elections procedures.

The county commissioners will also hold a work session on Thursday, September 9 before holding a business meeting on Tuesday, September 14. They will also host a joint meeting with the school boards on September 23.

All the Orange County Board of Commissioners meetings and work sessions are slated to begin at 7 p.m. and will be held virtually.
