What's on this agenda

Wake County's commissioners opened a two-day strategic planning retreat on 27 August at the county ABC administration building, starting at 9 a.m. Two items are listed: a budget overview and landscape, and the strategic plan itself.

The published agenda is one page and carries no papers, so what the board will actually work through is not on the record ahead of the meeting.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.

    Procedural
    Retreat agenda overview.
  2. 16-7352 Budget Overview and Landscape
    Presentation Budget and appropriationsTax rate and revaluation
    Budget staff cover the FY27 financial forecast, warning that state preemption of local revenue tools -- a SNAP cost-share shift, the unclosed Blue Ridge sales-tax loophole, and a possible property tax levy cap -- will squeeze next year's budget. Property tax growth is projected to slow and sales tax is expected to stay flat at FY26 levels.
  3. 16-7353 Strategic Plan
    Discussion item Comprehensive plan
    Staff review two years of progress on the county's strategic plan, including which goals and measures need updated framing, and the plan's three focus teams -- health and wellbeing, growth and land use, and inclusive prosperity -- present updates and flag emerging priorities for the board's input.
