Milton town clerk to submit resignation; council holds closed session on attorney search
Summary
During a closed session at the April 14 meeting, the council discussed options for town legal counsel and heard that Town Clerk Shirley Wilson will submit a resignation letter; the council reviewed a recommendation to contact attorney David Holly of Graham, N.C.
The Milton Town Council convened a closed session during its April 14 meeting to discuss legal representation and personnel matters.
Mayor Angela Upchurch read aloud an email from attorney John Thomas advising the council on attorney recruitment and recommending they contact David Holly of Graham, North Carolina. The minutes record discussion that the town does not have to advertise for a municipal attorney. In closed session Town Clerk Shirley Wilson said she would submit her resignation on April 14, 2026.
The council then reconvened in open session and adjourned regular business. No formal appointment of legal counsel or acceptance of the resignation was recorded in the meeting minutes; the closed-session discussion covered qualifications and next steps for retaining outside counsel.
The matter will require follow-up under personnel and procurement processes to confirm staffing and legal-retention decisions.
