What's on this agenda

The Wake Forest Board of Commissioners takes up two public hearings on money matters: the five-year Capital Improvements Plan for FY2026-2031, and the first public hearing on the FY2026-2027 annual operating budget. Neither hearing ends in a vote that night; both are for public input toward budgets the board will finalize later.

Most of the rest is routine business: street acceptances, a 2026 street resurfacing contract, a third budget ordinance amendment, and an interlocal agreement with Wake County tied to an EMPA program. The meeting also seats the newly elected mayor and two commissioners by oath of office, and recognizes the outgoing mayor and an outgoing commissioner with resolutions of appreciation.
