Council approves mayor’s appointment to Aldridge Housing Authority

The Blue Ridge City Council approved the mayor’s appointment of Karen Stewie as a new member of the Aldridge Housing Authority. A councilmember moved to approve the appointment and another councilmember seconded; the council recorded a unanimous yes vote. The agenda listed the mayor’s appointment and the council confirmed it. Why it matters: appointments to a local housing authority place community members on the agency that oversees housing programs or local housing operations. Discussion and context: No extended debate or conditions were recorded on the appointment. Staff will update membership rosters and notify the housing authority.
