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
