What's on this agenda

The Board of Commissioners work session mixes routine consent items with two substantive discussion topics. On consent: a reappointment to the Historic District Commission, budget amendments and transfers, three special-event permits (a winter lantern walk and market, a New Year's Day 8K run, and a Thanksgiving 5K), a civility certification from the NC League of Municipalities, and a resolution updating the interlocal agreement with Orange County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro on the Partnership to End Homelessness.

The in-depth discussion covers the town's annual strategic plan report and a resolution revising the urban service boundary, which sets where town utilities and future annexation can extend. The board will also go into closed session to discuss the town manager's performance evaluation, a personnel matter closed sessions are allowed to cover under state law.
