Jack Cathey and Peggy Harwell were sworn in to fill the vacant 2nd and 3rd Ward seats. The council voted, in a special called meeting on August 17, to appoint Cathey to the 2nd Ward seat vacated by the death of Councilman Artie Allen in June. Cathey was unanimously approved by the three sitting councilmen after interviewing six residents of the ward who had submitted letters of interest in the position. The council appointed Harwell to the 3rd Ward seat in a special called meeting immediately pre- ceding Tuesday’s work session. Harwell is the widow of Councilman C.H. Har- well, who served in the seat until his death in July. Both will serve the unexpired term for each seat, until the August, 2022, local election. The second and final vote on an annexation request for a parcel adjoining city limits along Mooresville Highway at the I-65 exit will not ap- pear on next Tuesday’s agenda.
