Special Called Town Council Meeting - 8:30 a.m.

The Black Mountain Town Council held a special meeting on January 21, 2026, to address several important matters impacting the town. Discussions centered on financial adjustments for the Lakeview Senior Center, securing architectural services for improvements to the Public Services Building, and initiating a search for both a Town Manager and Finance Director. Council members approved a budget amendment to cover unexpected repair costs at Lakeview Center, totaling approximately $40,000. They also authorized a contract with Domokur & Associates for architectural work on the Public Services Building, likely related to FEMA requirements.

A key decision made was authorizing the Mayor to sign agreements with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) to begin recruiting candidates for the crucial roles of Town Manager and Finance Director. This action signals a commitment to filling these leadership positions, which will significantly impact the town's operations and financial management.
