What's on this agenda

The council will decide whether to back $29 million in multifamily housing revenue bonds for a project called 500 East Main. It will also vote on naming The Peebles Corporation as developer for a site at 505 W. Chapel Hill Street. That comes with a $250,000 consulting contract for HR&A Advisors and a non-binding term sheet to negotiate. Two public hearings follow: a rewrite of eleven Unified Development Ordinance articles, and a zoning map change for Duke's Central Campus addition.

The consent agenda covers three board appointments and engineering contracts for solid waste concrete repairs and yard-waste site repairs. It also seeks to condemn an easement at 1505 Holloway Street for the Holloway Street Transit Corridor project. Other items add software and security contracts, a $25,000 grant for tennis courts at Southern Boundaries Park, and the 2025 meeting schedule.
