City Council

Council to decide whether to appoint two candidates or hold November election

The Hillsborough City Council is holding a special meeting to consider appointing Jeff Baxter and Leslie Marden Ragsdale to fill two City Council seats, rather than holding the November 3, 2026 election. Only two candidates filed nomination papers, so the Council may either appoint them or proceed with the election, which would cost $43,000–$51,000. The agenda includes only this one new business item, along with standard procedural items.
