What local government did, 20–26 September

Chatham County's commissioners were set to vote Monday evening on a resolution opposing the Enbridge gas pipeline, at the end of a 74-item day. The county's Agriculture Advisory Board reported to them the same night on its August hearing, where farmers whose land sits on the route spoke for two and a half hours. Chatham has not yet published minutes, so how the vote went is not yet on the record. Wake County's commissioners met that afternoon on WakeMed's combination with Atrium Health and opened the 2027 revaluation, with a hearing on the schedule of values set for October 5.

Two Tuesday decisions are also still waiting on minutes. Morrisville's council was to decide whether Wake County may build the West Wake Solid Waste Facility at 414 Aviation Parkway, on a hearing held open since September 8. Apex held a hearing on a $16 million bond order for streets, sidewalks, Town Hall, the Tunstall House and land for a public safety station. The Apex recording covers only part of that night. It shows the Apex Light Industrial Phase III rezoning, 26CZ06, approved on a voice vote, and stops before the bond hearing and the advisory board appointments ordinance.

Pittsboro's planning board voted 4-2 on Monday to recommend Chatham Park's first South Village section design plans, around a proposed golf course. Chatham Park said the area is zoned for about 3,500 units and it plans fewer than 1,750. Orange County's Human Relations Commission met Tuesday on a draft proclamation that would bar county funds, buildings and staff from assisting civil federal immigration enforcement.

The rest of the week is still ahead. Chapel Hill's council votes Wednesday on a $65 annual library fee for county residents outside the town limits. Cary's council takes the Alston Commons rezoning Thursday, 500 to 625 apartments on 22.74 acres at NC 55, and votes on extending its smoking ban to parks, greenways and trails. Durham's council spends Thursday afternoon on contracts, including eight GoDurham buses at $7.95 million. That evening Chatham's Climate Change Advisory Committee asks where the county's draft data center rules stand after a judge's ruling.
