What's on this agenda
Durham's city council will decide whether to accept a $10 million federal grant for airport improvements, the largest sum on the agenda. Consent items also include four bid-term contracts for water treatment plant chemicals. The largest, with Pennco Inc. for ferric sulfate, runs up to $7.52 million a year. Other contracts cover bridge engineering, bicycle facility design and new buses for GoDurham Access.
The council closes the meeting with four public hearings. One sets special use permits for the planned Lyons Farm Elementary School. The other three are annexations that would rezone land at 5802 South Miami Boulevard, on Hurley Road and on Farrington Road for multi-family housing.
