Pending Court Action Forces Sussex Council to Watch Words

Sussex County Council has approved the appointment of its president to a committee without specifically stating what action the committee will take.

Following a June 28 executive session to discuss pending litigation, council reconvened and voted 5-0 to appoint Council President Mike Vincent, R-Seaford, to a conciliation committee. In addition, on a motion from Councilman Vance Phillips, R-Laurel, council amended the motion to allow Vincent to invite other council members to participate on the committee.

Conciliation is part of the process used under the Fair Housing Act by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to bring parties together to attempt to mediate a complaint.
