What's on this agenda

The Durham City Council holds three land-use hearings. One would annex land at NC 55 and Hopson and move it from county to city zoning, keeping it industrial. Another would annex a house at 3602 Westminster Avenue. A third would rezone land for the Bull City Townhomes project from Residential Rural to a multifamily district with a development plan. The NC 55 case also authorizes a utility extension agreement with Scannell Properties #539, LLC.

The consent agenda includes a $450,000 contract with Community Home Trust to run the city's down payment assistance program and a $442,010.80 purchase of two dump trucks. It also amends the CVS Health COVID-19 testing contract, which could grow to $2,049,040. Three grants are up for approval: $848,337 for a law enforcement behavioral health response program, $40,000 from Welcoming America, and $15,000 from United Way of the Greater Triangle. The council will also consider $50,000 for Durham County's Community Intervention and Support Services Department.
