Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

Durham County commissioners' June 22 meeting includes adoption of a bond resolution for up to $185,000,000 in General Obligation Bonds (Series 2026C, a draw program under previously approved bond orders), a $5.6 million capital project amendment and a $5,189,321 Oracle software contract with DRT Solutions for a new ERP system, and two public hearings: a zoning map change requested by Ruppert Landscape to rezone a parcel from Residential Suburban-20 to Industrial Light so it can continue as parking for an existing landscaping business, and a staff-initiated text amendment (TC2600002) that would reduce the regulatory steps required for the county to institute development moratoria in the future. The board also recognizes new Chief Fire Marshal Tyler Fitts, marks the retirement of 42-year county veteran Soil and Water Director Eddie Culberson, and celebrates General Services' 50th anniversary.

The consent agenda includes several criminal-justice and detention services contracts -- electronic monitoring, after-hours mental health telehealth, and psychiatric services for the detention facility -- plus adoption of the FY 2026-27 Opioid Settlement Fund spending plan ($2,209,689). Only the agenda was available, not minutes, so the outcomes of the bond vote and the two public hearings, along with any public comment, are not recorded here.
