 Déjà vu all over again;
the tale of town hall

            You have heard the tune for months, but we are going to play it again. The Wake Forest Town Board may decide on a site for the new town hall Tuesday night.

            On the other hand, . . .

            The mayor and commissioners continued their regular meeting from Aug. 15 until 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5, a decision apparently reached in the closed session during the August meeting. Tuesday’s meeting will also be a closed session with a possible announcement at its close.

            The regular work session afterward, at 5:30 p.m., may be viewed as an anticlimax if the commissioners do reach a town hall decision, but there are some important topics up for discussion.

            Mitchell Lawson, the chairman of the Human Relations Council, will give the board an update on the activities of the council. Last month Commissioner Stephen Barrington asked about the concerns residents of the northeast section of town raised during a May meeting at the Alston-Massenburg Center. Those concerns included possible profiling by police and the perceived indifference of the town to neighborhood problems.

            Finance Director Aileen Staples will review the five-year financial forecast which includes paying the interest and principal on the street and parks bonds the town will begin selling this fall.

            The board will also discuss the Wake Forest Power Program and review the agenda for its Sept. 19 meeting.
