Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

Council's consent agenda is dominated by financing: a resolution seeking Local Government Commission approval for up to $218 million in utility system revenue refunding bonds, and a separate resolution for up to $136 million in limited obligation bonds (including a public hearing requirement on that amendment). Also on consent is a $674,025 construction contract for 2026 National Bridge Inventory structural repairs on bridge BR-11, and a sole-source-adjacent, high-value Advanced Meter Infrastructure contract: Ferguson Enterprises would supply and install water meters citywide for a combined purchase-and-installation cost up to about $91.8 million.

Other consent items include two board appointments, a Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation grant ordinance with Johns Hopkins, an interlocal agreement with Durham County to jointly fund a low-income homeowner relief program (up to $500,000 in grants plus outreach costs), a one-year extension of the city's Equal Business Opportunity Program ordinance with updated minority/women business participation goals, and a $367,500 contract for ArcGIS Indoors implementation. Several annual reports (finance, crime, recreation) are also received. Three proclamations open the meeting: NC Cleaning Week, Girl Scouts' 114th anniversary, and a Million Milers transit recognition.
