SUMMARY:Durham County: Regular Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County's commissioners held two incentive hearings on 8 December\, worth $6.25 million between them. The larger is up to $5\,500\,000 for Novartis Gene Therapies\, covering two manufacturing projects that the county says will create about 280 jobs and $540 million of investment over five years. The smaller is up to $750\,000 for Aspida Financial Services to build its headquarters in Durham\, against roughly 1\,000 jobs and $28.75 million. Both are performance-based: nothing is paid until the county verifies each year that the company met its job\, investment and community targets\, and the money comes out of the new tax revenue the projects themselves generate. Novartis also agreed to give $35\,000 a year to the schools foundation and about $100\,000 of equipment to Durham Tech.\n\nThe third hearing was franchises for four companies to run non-emergency ambulance transport in the county\, which the code requires a hearing for. A twelve-item consent agenda carried the rest\, the largest piece being $865\,273.57 with Stryker for ambulance equipment -- eleven power cot loaders\, 45 stair chairs and seven mechanical CPR devices -- and $1\,524\,565 to HDR Engineering for the East Durham rail project\, most of it grant money against a $305\,000 local match. Only the agenda is published for this meeting\, so the votes are not on the record here.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1521\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1548

SUMMARY:Durham County: Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County's commissioners set aside 290 minutes for discussion at their 5 January work session\, and the two largest blocks were both about the rules for building in the county: an hour on the new Unified Development Ordinance being written by consultants to carry out the 2023 comprehensive plan\, and half an hour on a narrower text amendment that would loosen the rules for parking recreational vehicles in residential districts. Neither was an adoption. A work session is where the board comments and gives direction.\n\nThe item with a deadline behind it was the emergency services fleet maintenance shop. The county has leased space at 122 Stone Park Court since 2016\; the railroad bought that property in 2023 and it is to be demolished for a rail realignment\, so the county must vacate by 1 May 2026. The board was asked to suspend its rules and let the manager sign a lease at 1129 E Geer Street rather than wait for another meeting. Staff also gave notice that the homeless day shelter contract will go to Urban Ministries of Durham\, with the scope and budget still to be settled\, and took an hour on how the county's child welfare system works.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1522\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1555

SUMMARY:Durham County: Regular Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County's commissioners open the year on 12 January with a consent agenda heavy on utility extensions: standard non-reimbursable contracts would run water and sewer to five developments — Windhaven Crossing\, Bethpage Apartments Phase 2\, Spanish for Fun Daycare\, the Page Road Parcels and Page Corners. The agenda also carries a manhole and sewer line contract for Taplin Group\, a public art agreement\, an amendment to a geospatial services contract\, a $212\,138 budget amendment for courtroom video equipment\, several other capital project and budget ordinance amendments\, and property tax releases and refunds for December 2025.\n\nA proclamation would recognize BULLS Academy Life Sciences Day\, a workforce program that has graduated 190 students across its first eleven cohorts.

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
