CONCORD â More than 40 people spoke at Thursday s Concord City Council meeting in favor of the proposed racial equity committee.
The meeting, which had in total 108 attendees watching, was scheduled to hear a vote on creating the Concord United Committee. But due to council concerns that the petition to create the committee needed further vetting, the vote was postponed to February s meeting.Â
Council member Andy Langford, who wrote the Concord United Committee petition, said the city manager and city attorney had already given 10 suggested edits that will allow the committee to be effective.Â
While the committee s petition is being edited, all Concord residents signed up to speak about the committee were heard Jan. 14.
