SUMMARY:Durham County: Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County commissioners' March 2 work session took comment on an annexation request for a 69.16-acre tract at 4802 Cheek Road\, where developer Humabuilt wants to shift from county Residential Rural zoning to city Planned Development Residential to connect to city water and sewer and build up to 190 homes\, mixing townhouses and single-family units. The board also got its first look at the proposed Mangum Fire Protection Service District\, needed because Moriah Volunteer Fire and Rescue says it can no longer serve that Rougemont-area territory without dedicated county revenue\; a public hearing follows at the March 9 regular meeting.\n\nStaff briefed the board on the Capital Improvement Plan\, county economic development and utilities infrastructure needs\, and progress on greenhouse gas and renewable energy goals. Commissioners also worked through a 15-item consent agenda -- including grant funding for the Farm Campus\, food security and public health programs\, and a $401\,025 contingency increase for the OES Fleet Maintenance construction contract -- that goes to the March 9 regular meeting for a vote.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1528\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1538

SUMMARY:Durham County: Regular Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County's commissioners held one public hearing on August 10\, on policy changes to the comprehensive plan coming out of its evaluation and assessment report. The money was elsewhere. The county took on nine new positions in social services\, paid for by $850\,290 in extra state funding\, to handle the Medicaid changes H.R. 1 requires\, and separately wrote to its congressional delegation asking for more time before the new SNAP cost-share rules take effect.\n\nThree conservation easements moved: 41 acres from Billy and Toni Stevens with a $330\,000 contribution from the Army National Guard's readiness and environmental protection program\, 19.27 acres from Robin Davis at 505 Mason Road with $117\,500 from the City of Durham's water supply protection fund\, and a donated 22-acre easement from David and Carmen Durack on Woodstock and West Cornwallis roads. The board also put $506\,945 toward buying the Durham-to-Roxboro Rail Trail corridor from the state\, distributed the 2 percent cost of living adjustment worth $3.6 million across departments\, and hired a temporary staffing agency for $255\,747.66 to run election operations through the general election. It proclaimed September 10 to 19 as Welcoming Week.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1553\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1552
