During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the reclassification of a meter reader position to a meter technician, a change prompted by the departure of a current employee. The proposal, presented by staff members Ian and Sean, aims to enhance the capacity for repairing and installing new meters, a task that has been neglected for years due to resource constraints within the public services department. The council expressed appreciation for the initiative, which is expected to improve operational efficiency.

Additionally, the meeting included an update on recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, which struck the area 11 days prior. Representatives Liz, Jeff Stines, and Lisonbee Pritchett provided insights into ongoing community support initiatives and resources available to residents affected by the flooding. The updates highlighted the local government's commitment to addressing the needs of the community in the aftermath of the disaster.
