Summerville City Council Meeting Tomorrow

The Summerville City Council will be meeting tomorrow evening at 5 PM for their regular monthly meeting for December.  There are several items on the agenda for tomorrow’s meeting, including a decision on approving a contract for the interim city manager’s position.  Council members had previously stated that they would be taking applications for the interim city manager’s position through December 8th, but did an about-face and hired a new interim city manager instead of waiting on resumes from potential applicants. Now, council members will be asked to approve a contract for the new interim city manager that will go into effect on December 19th.  There are no plans for virtual attendance for tomorrow evening’s meeting.  A question and answer time with the mayor and city council members will be held at 4:30 PM before the meeting begins.
