New members of South Boston Town Council will be sworn in prior to Monday evening’s meeting.
The swearing in ceremony will occur at 6 p.m. prior to the 7 p.m. council meeting at council chambers located at 502 Yancey Ave. in South Boston.
The three members — Brian Burton, Sharon Harris and Barbara Speece — will take the oaths of office Monday.
Burton earned a seat on South Boston Town Council as a write-in candidate by 88 votes. Harris and Speece — both incumbents — were the only two hopefuls listed on the ballot for three open seats.
Among agenda items, council will consider a resolution endorsing Tri-County Community Action in its application to the United States Department of Labor for $1.5 million in financial assistance through Youth Build Funding Opportunities.
That will provide money to help with education, occupational skills training and employment services to those 16 to 24.
The program serves youth who need a high school diploma and financial resources.
Council also will hear updates on recent grants received including $3 million for the John Randolph Hotel redevelopment and $2 million for the town’s storm water project.
Maria Traynham and Bill McCaleb are expected to give a presentation on the Healthy Harvest Community Garden.
Council is also expected to consider a resolution horning Winston Harrell’s retirement from the governing body.
