While local elections for town government are likely to grab attention in the coming weeks, October looks to continue a busy period for local governments across Orange and Chatham Counties. With elected officials discussing topics ranging from affordable housing to development projects and community safety to funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, there will be no shortage of agenda items.

If you’re looking to attend or tune in to meetings, here is a full list of those scheduled across our community so far for this month.

Chapel Hill Town Government

The Chapel Hill Town Council will meet three times in October, each on Wednesdays, but will not have a meeting in the first full week.

Continuing its method of virtual meetings, council members will meet October 13 and October 27 at 7 p.m for business meetings. The elected officials will also hold a work session on October 20, which is set to begin at 6:30 p.m.

The public is encouraged to register for Town of Chapel Hill meetings in webinar fashion if they want to participate in public comment, but all videos can be live-streamed and accessed after completion on the town website in the following days.

Council members are also set to continue their virtual methods of meeting, with a start time of 7 p.m. expected for each meeting as well. Video of the town council meetings can be streamed through the Town of Carrboro’s website and YouTube account.

On Thursday, October 7, the board will hold a meeting with the local fire departments. It will be the second time the elected officials check in with the fire departments during a work session, as they did in February.

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

Chatham County Government

Typically, the Chatham County Board of Commissioners meets once a month. With several projects and topics set to be discussed this fall, however, the board is instead slated to hold two meetings.

The first is set for Monday, October 4. The county commissioners will then meet again two weeks later on Monday, October 18. Each will begin with work sessions at 2 p.m. before advancing to business meetings.

Both board meetings are set to be held in-person at the Historic Chatham County Courthouse in Pittsboro.
