SUMMARY:City of Durham: Virtual Durham City Council Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Durham City Council Work Session\n\nDurham's Granicus portal answers this work session's agenda link with a stub reading "This agenda is not currently published\," so this summary comes from the council's own item list rather than the agenda text. The costliest items are two sidewalk contracts: a $1.9 million amendment to Contract SW-76 that would raise that sidewalk-repair contract's total to just over $4.7 million with Browe Construction Company\, and a contract of up to $600\,000 with Summit Design and Engineering Services for inspection and ombudsman work on sidewalk projects.\n\nUnder Citizens' Matters\, three residents were scheduled to address the council about the impact of the Townes at Courtney Creek development on the Emorywood Estates neighborhood. The agenda also listed a presentation and evaluation report on the city's 2021 Durham YouthWorks program\, along with the consent items\, clerk's office update and agenda-setting business a work session routinely carries.\n\nAgenda: https://durham.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=2804\nWatch: https://durham.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3271

SUMMARY:City of Durham: Durham City Council
DESCRIPTION:Durham City Council\n\nDurham's city council turned over on 4 December 2023. The meeting certified the 7 November municipal election\, handed out election certificates\, and gave outgoing members their remarks before they retired from the dais. Nate Baker\, Javiera Caballero\, Carl Rist and Leonardo Williams were then sworn in\, the newly elected mayor spoke\, and the council appointed a mayor pro tempore.\n\nOne consequence followed immediately: under other matters\, Mayor Williams resigned the Ward 3 council seat he had held. The council filled it the following month\, swearing in Chelsea Cook on 16 January. Three land use items also sat outside the consent block: a consolidated annexation for the 5802 South Miami Boulevard multifamily site\, and zoning map changes at 618 Morehead Avenue and for Oaks at Gray. Durham's portal no longer serves the agenda document\, so what each land use case covers is not in the surviving record.\n\nAgenda: https://durham.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=2957\nWatch: https://durham.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3302
