Public Meeting: Century Looking To Extend Term Of Mayor, Council Members

June 12, 2014

The Century Town Council will vote during a special meeting Friday on whether or not to extend the term of the mayor and two of five council members for an additional year as part of plan to align the town’s election cycles with the rest of the county and state.

With the current election date cycle, the positions of Mayor Freddie McCall, Council President Ann Brooks and member Annie Savage would be on the ballot in 2015 — when there are no other local elections in the county. The town is looking to extend their term expiration dates from January 2016 to January 2017 and put the three seats on the 2016 ballot, coinciding with other local, state, and national elections, including the presidential election.

The Century Town Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance, along with one that sets the 2014 election dates, during a special meeting Friday afternoon at 3:00. The meeting, at Century Town Hall, is open to the public.

    WHY CHANGE??? So you can just be part of a crowd – instead of everyone looking right at you – thinking about what you have done the last few years?
