Durham City Council would add $1.9 million to a sidewalk repair contract with Browe Construction Company, bringing the total to $4.7 million. It would also hire Summit Design and Engineering Services for up to $600,000 to inspect sidewalk projects. The council holds a public hearing on community development needs for the city's FY2022-2023 Annual Action Plan, which sets priorities for federal housing and community development funding.

The agenda also fills seven vacancies on advisory boards, receives annual reports from a dozen boards and commissions covering audits, tourism, planning, historic preservation and the airport, and takes up a resolution urging the federal government to cancel student loan debt.
