What's on this agenda
The Durham City Council considers two pandemic-era airport grants from the FAA, $44.8 million and $5.9 million under the American Rescue Plan. Members would authorize agreements to spend both awards. The consent agenda also carries eight appointments to city boards and commissions. Two street contracts add up to $11.2 million: $6.4 million for repaving and $4.8 million for pavement preservation.
A $2.3 million amendment would raise the city's sewer system evaluation survey contract with CDM Smith to $3.6 million. The council also takes up a $250,000 contract with the Cypress Fund and NEO Philanthropy for the We Are the Ones program. A staff report covers the city's response to Bull City Tenants United's proposals. Market adjustments to police and fire pay take effect the same day.
