However, the Pflugerville city tried to “secretly” appoint someone for this position. The Pflugerville city council had even issued a resolution regarding the consideration to appoint someone to fill the newly created city council seat. According to the resolu- tion, it set up the “discussion and consideration to take action to approve a resolu- tion establishing City Council Place 6; integrating City Council Place 6 into the City Council Election Cycle; establishing a vacancy in City Council Place 6; and providing for the appointment to fill the vacancy in City Council Place 6.” When local activist and community leaders heard that the Pflugerville city coun- cil wanted to appoint someone, then they started to inform the community about this move coming from the council. Consequently, they started to pressure the city council member from taking this vote. Moreover, numerous concerned residents came out to the Pflugerville city council to express their disagreement. So, the Pflugerville city council decided to “table” the resolution, which meant that the council will no longer vote for this resolution. Kenyans Migrate to Central Texas
