What's on this agenda

Durham City Council gets its first public look at the manager's recommended budget for the fiscal year starting July 1, along with the 2023-28 Capital Improvement Plan, though the agenda itself gives no dollar total. The council also holds two public hearings: one on annexing the Angier Avenue Apartments and extending city utilities to the site, and one on proposed stormwater rates for FY2023.

The consent agenda carries a $3,592,186 street maintenance contract with Browe Construction Company, a $648,000 utility locate services amendment with KCI Associates, and a new water and sewer rate ordinance for the coming fiscal year. Council also fills three board seats, on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission, the Mayor's Hispanic/Latino Committee and the Historic Preservation Commission.

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