Durham's city council took up two General Obligation Bond Orders on this agenda — $85 million for parks and recreation, $115 million for streets and sidewalks — with a resolution to set a public hearing on both for June 17. It also held a public hearing on the city manager's proposed FY2024-25 budget and FY2025-30 Capital Improvement Plan.
The consent agenda included three grant agreements with Development Ventures Inc. totaling $7.7 million for affordable housing projects, six appointments across city boards and commissions, and contracts for water and sewer work, a new traffic signal, and public art restoration. A second public hearing covered a proposed increase to fire department inspection and permit fees.
