Agenda document Watch

What's on this agenda

The council spends most of its 90 minutes on its annual report and work plan, the document every Orange County advisory board prepares for the commissioners. Members are asked to review the 2025 report beforehand and come ready to discuss. The council also takes up its vacancies and plans a possible parks tour.

The meeting is at the Solid Waste Management board room, 1207 Eubanks Road in Chapel Hill. The director gives project updates, and members report on the Intergovernmental Parks Work Group and the Friends of Orange County Parks and Recreation. The draft summary of the October 7 meeting, up for approval, records the council recommending applicants for a youth delegate seat and the Chapel Hill town limits seat.
