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: BOCC Budget Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County's commissioners spent 26 February in a day-long retreat opening the FY 2026-27 budget\, at the Human Services Building rather than the county chambers. The morning was the fiscal picture: financial highlights from the chief financial officer\, tax projections tied to the revaluation from the tax administrator\, and an economic and demographic outlook.\n\nThe afternoon turned to policy\, and the choice of topics says what the board expects to be squeezed. Human services took the first slot\, presented jointly by the public health director and the social services director under the heading of federal and state support — the question of what Washington and Raleigh will still be paying for.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1527\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1537

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

DESCRIPTION:Board of County Commissioners\n\nDurham County's commissioners take the first step toward borrowing up to $30 million for wastewater work\, mainly the Chin Page Road lift station and its force main and sewer lines. The note would be sold privately to a lender and needs the Local Government Commission's approval. On the same consent agenda the board would spend $278\,200 from fund balance to widen a redevelopment study of the former Lowe's Grove School to two more Durham Public Schools properties\, the Old Northern High School site and the Durham School of the Arts site on North Duke Street.\n\nThe board also votes to create an Early Childhood Task Force on child care for children under four\, sends federal regulators its objections to proposed Head Start rule changes\, and lets state and federal investigators into an old landfill at 3847 Redwood Road. Staff report on a $500\,000 youth grant program opening 16 October. The evening opens with recognitions of Duke Regional Hospital's 50th anniversary and White Rock Baptist Church's 160th\, and a closed session at 5:30 p.m. covers a property acquisition and legal advice.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1559\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4045
