What's on this agenda

Wake Forest's Board of Commissioners work session covers several draft ordinances and planning items, none of which are voted on at a work session but are teed up for future action. The board discusses a conservation easement on the Pate property, an ordinance on motorized scooters and e-bikes, an updated five-year capital improvements plan, a handicapped-parking ordinance, a speed-limit ordinance for NC 98, and introduction of a 2026 expansion of a municipal service district.

The board also reviews the November monthly financial report, previews the draft agenda for its Jan. 20 regular meeting, and takes up a resolution to adopt a formal process for filling board vacancies. The session ends with a closed session under the personnel-related exemption and commissioner reports.
