New board sworn in

Posted on December 3, 2009 by Staff

CARRBORO — The 2010 Carrboro Board of Aldermen was sworn in Tuesday night at its weekly meeting at Town Hall.

Mayor Mark Chilton, who heartily thanked his family for their work on the campaign trail, starts his third term as mayor. He received 1,667 votes, 1,216 votes more than his closest competitor.

Jacquie Gist will be serving her fifth term, Randee Haven-O’Donnell her second and Sammy Slade will be serving his first full term as alderman.

Slade, who was the top vote-getter in November’s election with 1,471 votes, took John Herrera’s resigned seat for most of the month of November.

Gist and Haven-O’Donnell received 1,515 votes and 1459 votes, respectively.

Haven-O’Donnell will keep her position as mayor pro tem. She was appointed pro tem after Herrera’s resignation in August.

After swearing in, the board took action on a resolution presented at the Nov. 24 meeting by former alderman and senior attorney at the UNC Center for Civil Rights Mark Dorosin. The board unanimously passed the resolution supporting the efforts of the Rogers-Eubanks roads community to keep a waste transfer station away from Millhouse Road. A county-owned site that is now in the running for the waste transfer station is within a mile of the current landfill and the Rogers and Eubanks neighborhood.

The Orange County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to formally announce the waste transfer station site on Monday. The choice will be either Millhouse Road or a site on N.C. 54 or having trucks transfer the trash to a station in Durham.

    I know it seems hard to believe but I will be serving my sixth term not my 5th!
