What's on this agenda

Durham's council takes up a stack of contracts. The largest: a five-year, $3,830,831 renewal with Axon Enterprise for police body-worn and in-car cameras, and a $1,213,186 purchase of 29 marked police sedans. Other consent items fund water tank maintenance, biosolids disposal and a valve auditing program. Three more appoint the city's finance officer, deputy finance officer and tax collector.

In its only public hearing, the council considers rezoning 518 Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway from commercial to residential multifamily. Two land conservancies would also receive Watershed Protection Fund money for farm conservation projects, and the council hears the city's 2021 financial audit.
