Official Notices and Community Updates for Thursday, January 29, 2026

The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have issued several public service announcements and official notices regarding health advisories, meeting schedules, and service impacts following recent winter weather events. Residents are encouraged to review the following updates to ensure they remain informed of local government activities and safety protocols.

Health Advisory: Measles Exposure Notice

Mecklenburg County Public Health has issued an urgent health advisory following confirmed cases of measles in the region. Officials have announced a public exposure notice for individuals who attended events at Sardis Presbyterian School on January 17, 2026. Public health nurses are investigating a second confirmed case involving an unvaccinated child. Residents are urged to verify their immunization records, as the MMR vaccine remains the most effective tool for preventing further spread. Immunization clinics at the Mecklenburg County Public Health Department are currently offering same-day vaccinations for eligible residents.

Public Meetings and Information Sessions

Several community engagement sessions are scheduled for today, Thursday, January 29, 2026. The City of Charlotte is hosting a Fair Housing Information Session designed to guide participants through the city’s fair housing ordinances and the latest requirements from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Additionally, the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is conducting Fare Study Public Meetings to gather community feedback on proposed changes to transit fare structures. These sessions provide an opportunity for residents to educate themselves on regional planning and advocate for service improvements.

City Service Impacts and Weather Recovery

Following the significant winter storm that impacted the area earlier this week, the City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services continues to operate on a one-day delay. For the remainder of the week ending January 31, residents should place their carts at the curb one day later than their normally scheduled collection date. Specifically, households typically serviced on Wednesday will receive collection today, Thursday, while Thursday routes will be serviced on Friday. Residents are asked to leave their carts at the curb until they are collected to ensure no service is missed during this recovery period.

Environmental Maintenance and Infrastructure

City crews are scheduled to conduct tree maintenance operations across various sectors today. These activities are part of the city’s ongoing effort to manage the urban canopy and address potential hazards caused by recent ice and wind. Simultaneously, Storm Water Services is seeking volunteers for local maintenance projects. Residents interested in environmental stewardship can participate in scheduled volunteer events aimed at improving local drainage systems and maintaining neighborhood water quality.
