It is the largest sum on a 33-item agenda dominated by water and sewer work. A companion ordinance would reallocate capital improvement funding for the same project.

The council also holds public hearings on two annexations and three rezonings, including sites near a Durham school and North Carolina Central University. It would adopt an ordinance setting new ward boundaries after redistricting and fill five seats on city boards and commissions. It would also fund a seven-month shelter contract with Open Table Ministry for people experiencing homelessness in cold weather.
