SUMMARY:City of Durham: Durham City Council Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Durham City Council Work Session\n\nDurham's City Council work session on Thursday is mostly contracts\, and the largest are for water. Carolina Civilworks would get $5.1 million to replace waterlines on Duke University Road and North Driver Street. McKim & Creed's design contract for the South Durham Water Reclamation Facility filter replacement would grow by $5.2 million to $6.7 million. Kittelson & Associates would get $1.6 million to design the Duke-Gregson corridor. The council also hears an update on the City Hall reconfiguration and a $547\,698 construction contract for it.\n\nFive public hearings close the session: annexations of Courtyards at Leesville and 508 Olive Branch\, local landmark status for the Cranford-Wannamaker House\, and street assessments on Chalmers Street and Lang Street. Durham schedules hearings at work sessions\, so the council may vote that day. Earlier items accept $297\,222 in federal homelessness grants and carry unspent 2025-26 money into this year's budget.\n\nAgenda: https://durham.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=2085\nWatch: https://durham.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1592
