Summary

Citing low engagement and stretched staff capacity, Cary Town council voted to discontinue the council-produced 'Council Out and About' newsletter that ran August–May.

Council debated whether to continue a staff-supported newsletter that summarized council activities. Several council members said social media and individual channels already distribute similar content and that continuing the newsletter was not an efficient use of clerk office time.

One council member moved to stop the 'Council Out and About' newsletter and the motion was seconded; the council voted in favor and the newsletter was discontinued. Clerk Ginny and staff confirmed the newsletter had low engagement and that discontinuing it would free staff time for higher-priority tasks.
