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 manager presents the recommended 2026-27 budget\, taking forty-five minutes of other business. Before it\, half an hour of ceremonial items: Memorial Day\, emergency medical services week\, mental health awareness month\, treatment court month\, and a week recognizing the clerks who keep boards of commissioners running.\n\nThe night's only public hearing is on the first phase of the county's first biennial Evaluation and Assessment Report\, with four separate resolutions changing the Place Type Map. One would move land at Treyburn out of the rural and agricultural place type into rural and agricultural reserve and employment campus\, and bring those parcels inside the Urban Growth Area.\n\nAgenda: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1539\nWatch: https://durhamcounty.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1520

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
