What's on this agenda

Wake Forest's Board of Commissioners takes a second vote on an ordinance that would create a stormwater utility fee, amending Chapter 14 of the town code. The board also considers an Affordable Housing Land Disposition Program Policy setting rules for how the town disposes of land set aside for affordable housing, based partly on policies from Apex and Wake County.

The consent agenda includes a resolution to schedule a public hearing on a voluntary annexation petition tied to rezoning case RZ-23-07 at 200 Stephen Taylor Road, a first amendment to the fiscal 2023-2024 budget ordinance, the 2024 meeting schedule, and an update to the town's Internal Control Policy. Commissioners also take up a contract with Benesch for a transportation impact fee study, a generator purchase from Power Secure, and a mutual aid agreement with the Town of Garner. The meeting includes resolutions of appreciation for outgoing commissioners Chad Sary and James Dyer, oaths of office for commissioners-elect Wright, Cross and Clapsaddle, and the election of a mayor pro tem, added to the agenda the day of the meeting.
