What's on this agenda

This is a fairly routine agenda for Wake Forest's Board of Commissioners. Beyond the usual minutes approvals and five ceremonial proclamations (Building Safety Month, Municipal Clerks Week, Earth Day, National Bike Month, Arbor Day), the substantive items are a resolution to schedule a public hearing on a 7.76-acre contiguous annexation petition from Ritchie Family Properties at 1313 N White Street, a street-closure resolution for the July 4th Children's Parade, an appointment to the Human Relations Commission advisory board, and financing approval for Fire Station 6 through an installment purchase agreement with Pinnacle Bank.

Two items carry more weight: a resolution to settle all remaining claims and issues in Schooldev v. Wake Forest, and a resolution to join a multi-town opioid settlement agreement against six remaining defendant companies, which would bring in additional opioid-remediation funding. Neither the settlement terms nor the financing terms are broken out in the agenda itself.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.
