SUMMARY:City of Durham: Regular City Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Regular City Council Meeting\n\nDurham's city council votes 8 September on more than 20 million dollars of water and sewer work: a 10.37 million dollar contract for bypass pipe improvements at the Brown Water Treatment Plant\, and 9.73 million for the 2026 sewer lining program. Both carry ten percent contingencies on top. Four consolidated annexations get public hearings the same night\, each bringing county land into the city with a utility extension agreement attached.\n\nTwo resolutions are the unusual items. One endorses the recommendations of the Durham Violence Reduction Working Group\, presented at the August work session. The other\, brought by a council member rather than staff\, recognizes two tenant unions by name and affirms the role tenant unions play in housing. The council also takes a 1.38 million dollar right-of-way agreement with the state for the Durham to Roxboro rail trail.\n\nAgenda: https://durham.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=2080\nWatch: https://durham.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1576

SUMMARY:City of Durham: Regular City Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Regular City Council Meeting\n\nDurham's council held a public hearing Thursday on an incentive agreement with AbbVie worth up to $9\,312\,721\, the only hearing on the agenda.

SUMMARY:City of Durham: Durham City Council Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Durham City Council Work Session\n\nDurham's council spends Thursday's work session on contracts\, and the biggest is transit. A purchase from Gillig covers eight buses for GoDurham: five 40-foot diesels at $803\,691 each and three 40-foot battery-electric buses at $1\,311\,645 each\, $7.95 million in all. The electric buses cost about 63 percent more apiece than the diesels. Two more transportation items follow\, an interlocal agreement with Raleigh for bus mobile ticketing and $262\,770 toward a Triangle region transit survey.\n\nWater work is the other large number: an $11.48 million construction award to T.A. Loving for the Elizabeth Street waterline replacement\, with a contingency taking it to $12.64 million\, and a sixth amendment to the Hazen and Sawyer engineering contract for East Durham water and sewer rehabilitation and the Belt Street stormwater project\, taking that contract to $9.53 million. The council also renews its lobbying contracts\, $480\,000 with Checkmate Government Relations for the state and $346\,000 with The Ferguson Group for Washington\, and authorizes condemnation of temporary construction easements at 710 W. Cornwallis Road and 3414 Hillsborough Road for two sidewalk and bike projects.\n\nTwo annexation hearings close the session\, MIS Durham Headquarters Two and 3815 Wake Forest Highway\, each bringing land from county into city jurisdiction with a utility extension agreement. Parks and Recreation asks to apply for a $15 million Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership grant\, and the police department presents second quarter crime figures.\n\nAgenda: https://durham.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=2083\nWatch: https://durham.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1570
