Asheville will be saving a seat for a Buncombe County commissioner on the Asheville-Buncombe Riverfront Commission, whether the county wants it now or not. On Tuesday night, the City Council considered an ordinance that would have reduced the size of the 14-member riverfront panel by removing the position set aside for a county commissioner. County commissioners requested deleting that reserved seat but the motion to adopt failed on a 3-3 vote.
