February 2, 2023: Council selects six applicants for shortlist for replacement member; Albemarle Supervisors commemorate Black History Month

While it may seem like this is the same newsletter and podcast over and over again, it will be unlike any other of the 492 other editions. It will be the 493rd and it will have its own distinct flavor. Which may be odd because as far as I know, there’s no way to convey narrative through the taste buds. But Charlottesville Community Engagement is intended to do what it can for aural and visual pathways. I’m the host, Sean Tubbs, still hesitant to experiment with an olfactory version of the program. On today’s show:* Charlottesville City Council whittles 20 candidates for a replacement seat down to six in advance of Monday’s public hearing * A longtime member of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors has died * A top Albemarle County executive is set to retire* There are now two candidates seeking the South District seat on the Nelson County Board of Supervisors* And Albemarle Supervisors commemorate Black History Month  This is a public episode.
