The Weaverville Town Council holds its regular meeting tonight (Monday, March 17) at 7 p.m.  No agenda has been posted on the Town Calendar, but I’m told the ABC store, McPhail property, and annexation are among the items to be discussed.

The regular meeting of the Weaverville Town Council is 7 p.m. Monday, January 28 at the Town Hall.  Here’s the agenda for this month’s meeting:

1. Call to Order.
2. Approval of Minutes of the December 17, 2008 Council Meeting.
3. Presentation of Town of Weaverville’s Comprehensive Annual Report.
4. Request from Carl L. McGalliard for a 2 lot Subdivision on Stoney Knob Road Pin # 9741.05-19-3151

9. Closed Session to Confer with Legal Counsel as allowed for by NCGS 143-318.11 A (3) involving Weaverville Partners and the Town of Weaverville and NCGS 143-318.11 A (6).

It’s my understanding that #5 is about or at least includes the McPhail property.  Town Hall is located at 30 South Main Street. 

The monthly Weaverville Town Council Meeting normally takes place the third Monday of the month, but in January it has been rescheduled for the fourth Monday, January 28, due to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.   Town Hall will also be closed January 21 in observance of the holiday.

The Weaverville Town Council will be holding a workshop to discuss options about establishing an ABC system in Weaverville. The meeting takes place 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 15 at the Weaverville Town Hall.  This is an informational meeting only and no decisions will be made.  The public can observe the meeting, but will not be able to participate in the discussion.  There will also be no public comment period.   The Town Hall is located at 30 South Main Street.

If you missed last Thursday’s Town Council Candidate Forum, you can watch it on URTV (Cable Channel 20) 7:30-9 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, October 31) or 8-9:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 1. One thing to note is the opening remarks made by each candidate have been omitted. This was due to technical interference which made 3 or 4 of the candidates remarks unintelligible. It was felt to be fair all opening remarks should be removed.

Some clips from the Candidate Forum are also available on the WeavervilleNews page on YouTube.

A couple reminders about the upcoming election, because I’ve been told that many people aren’t sure where they need to vote:

Voting takes place Tuesday, November 6. Polling locations are open 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. There are three voting places:

• If you’re in Weaverville proper, vote at the Town Hall (30 South Main Street)
• If you’re in Woodland Hills, vote at the Woodland Hills Baptist Church (50 Woodland Hills Road, Asheville)
• If you’re in Reems Creek, vote at the Reems Creek Fire Station (730 Reems Creek Road)

Here’s a sample ballot for this year’s election, which includes all 9 candidates running for Town Council. We are electing three new council members: http://www.buncombecounty.org/common/boe/BCBEballots_8.pdf

If you have questions or need additional information about where, when, or how to vote, please contact the Buncombe County Board of Elections at 250-4200.

Just a reminder that the Weaverville Town Council Candidate Forum is this Thursday, October 25, 7-9 p.m. at the Weaverville Town Hall.  All the candidates have agreed to appear to give a brief statement about how they’ll serve the town of Weaverville, as well as take your questions.

There’s a number of important issues which these councilmembers will be voting on, including what happens with the McPhail Property and whether to let Asheville control our upcoming ABC store.  If you care about these issues, the future of Weaverville, or are still undecided about who to vote for, be sure to attend this Forum.

The Weaverville Business Association is sponsoring a Candidate Forum at the Weaverville Town Hall, October 25, 7-9 p.m for the nine candidates running for Town Council.  The moderator will be Barbara Coulson of the Madison County League of Women Voters. The public is invited to attend and learn the platforms and direct questions to these candidates.  For more information about the Candidate Forum, contact (828) 658-9929.

While we’re on that subject, listed below are the the people who are running for Town Council (all information courtesy of Buncombe County Election Services).  It’s the first time in my memory that so many are on the ballot.  I think this speaks to the controversial nature of developments which have been happening here in Weaverville.  Whether you are happy or unhappy with the direction our town is taking, please let your voice be heard, if not at the Candidate Forum, then at the voting booth on November 6.
