This series of posts will be made weekly on Chapelboro to help inform our community about local government meetings. All meeting days, locations and times may be subject to change. Check town, county, and school district websites for additional information.

With Christmas and New Year’s Day approaching, it’s a light week in local government, but there are a handful of meetings scheduled this week before every board goes on its holiday break. Chatham County Commissioners will receive a handful of presentations and annual reports; the Durham City Council will address bow hunting for deer; and in Chapel Hill, the Town Council is slated to meet twice this week – but only in closed session, to begin the process of finding a new town manager.

Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.

The Chapel Hill Town Council will meet in closed session on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 17-18, to discuss the search for a new town manager.

Chatham County Commissioners meet on Monday, December 16, in the historic courthouse in Pittsboro. Their meeting begins with a 2 p.m. work session, where commissioners will receive last year’s financial audit and presentations on climate change, agriculture, aging, and the process of establishing a domestic violence shelter. Then commissioners will reconvene at 6 p.m. for their regular session, with an agenda that includes a presentation on the State of Chatham County and a vote on a new countywide Digital Inclusion Plan.

In Durham, the City Council meets twice this week: first at 7 p.m. Monday, December 16, and then again at 1 p.m. Thursday, December 19. Monday’s meeting includes a public hearing and a possible vote on a proposal to rename Vivian Street after former mayor Bill Bell; Thursday’s meeting includes a pair of advisory board appointments and a possible revision to the county’s deer bow hunting ordinance.

Finally, the Durham school board meets at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, December 19. Their agenda has not yet been posted, but will be available at this link.
