What's on this agenda

The council picks back up its rezoning case for a Duke Energy substation at 940 Morrisville Carpenter Road (REZ-22-0010). The hearing, opened January 10, moves to a third session on February 14. Residents have submitted correspondence and an EMF measurement report since the last hearing.

On consent, the council considers a quarterly budget and capital project ordinance amendment and a resolution for a federal firefighting equipment grant. It also considers the December 13 meeting minutes. Staff brief the council on a sustainability plan update and a mid-year financial and budget report, and on vacancies on an advisory committee. Two closed sessions follow: one on economic development and legal matters, the other on a real estate purchase.
