Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

Durham's council revised its own code of ethics on 2 June, and commissioned a 2025 disparity study — the analysis a city needs before it can lawfully steer contracting toward minority and women-owned firms.

It also amended the 2024-25 budget and capital ordinances, took the first-quarter crime report, and let contracts for pre-employment psychological testing and post-hire psychological services for police officers.
