What's on this agenda

Durham's city council takes up two land use hearings: an annexation and utility agreement for 2211 Page Road, moving the property from a rural district to office and institutional use, and a rezoning of 518 Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway from commercial to multifamily residential. The consent agenda carries the bulk of the spending: a $5.48 million water and sewer point repair contract with Carolina Civilworks, a $3.02 million debris removal contract and a $1.05 million debris monitoring contract with two emergency-services firms, and $1.78 million for five automated refuse trucks.

Also on consent: an extension of the Durham Bulls' operating agreement for Durham Athletic Park through September 2022, with an option through 2023, and two Department of Housing and Urban Development grants for fair housing work totaling about $102,000. The meeting opens with an organizational item the agenda does not describe further, and includes a report from the Affordable Housing Implementation Committee following its presentation at a November work session.

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