What's on this agenda

Durham's Granicus portal answers this work session's agenda link with a stub reading "This agenda is not currently published," so this summary comes from the council's own item list rather than the agenda text. The costliest items are two sidewalk contracts: a $1.9 million amendment to Contract SW-76 that would raise that sidewalk-repair contract's total to just over $4.7 million with Browe Construction Company, and a contract of up to $600,000 with Summit Design and Engineering Services for inspection and ombudsman work on sidewalk projects.

Under Citizens' Matters, three residents were scheduled to address the council about the impact of the Townes at Courtney Creek development on the Emorywood Estates neighborhood. The agenda also listed a presentation and evaluation report on the city's 2021 Durham YouthWorks program, along with the consent items, clerk's office update and agenda-setting business a work session routinely carries.
