[Durham INC] Durham City Council Ward 3 Vacancy Appointment Process Update

[PublicAffairs]

At the Durham City Council virtual meeting on Monday, April 20, the City Council voted to delay the appointment process for filling the Ward 3 vacancy. This decision will allow the Council to restart the appointment process later in the year when conditions in Durham will hopefully make it possible for both the public and vacancy applicants to engage with the process in a robust way. The Council will discuss the timing of the appointment process at their August 6 work session.
