SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe Planning Board takes public comment on two plan updates ahead of a December 21 public hearing on each. The first is an update to the Northeast Community Plan\, which guides growth in Wake Forest's historically African American neighborhood northeast of downtown. The rewrite followed four advisory committee meetings\, 22 stakeholder interviews\, a survey mailed to every address and property owner in the area with 109 responses\, two virtual public workshops\, and a September event at the DuBois Campus with more than 75 participants. It organizes recommendations under four themes\, Preserve & Protect\, Flourish\, Connect and Partner\, with an implementation matrix tying each action to a timeline. Staff recommend approval.\n\nThe second is a set of amendments to the 2019 Comprehensive Transportation Plan\, covering the bicycle\, pedestrian and greenway network maps\, the regional and town transit maps\, roadway cross-sections and the future roadway network\, and the greenway prioritization table. The Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Advisory Board has already voted unanimously to recommend the bicycle and pedestrian changes\, and staff say the amendment aligns the plan with the Renaissance Area Plan and the draft Northeast Community Plan. The board also recognizes Tilda Caudle\, who served on the Northeast Community Plan's advisory committee\, as a recipient of the state planning association's Marvin Collins Award\, and takes up its meeting schedule for 2022.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1197\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3393

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest commissioners will review a $1\,350\,000 agreement with the City of Raleigh for stormwater and paving work on North Main Street and eight other streets. American Rescue Plan Act money would cover it. The board will also take up a third amendment to the cities' 2005 utility merger agreement. It would apply a $1\,239\,352 overpayment Wake Forest made toward additional water capacity. It would also expand Raleigh's service area into land the town plans to bring into its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The amendment would also sell a town-owned parcel on South College Street to Raleigh for a new elevated water tank and booster station.\n\nPlanning staff will present transit service alternatives for the town's draft Public Transit Plan\, developed after a pop-up event\, two open houses and two surveys. Commissioners will also hear the monthly financial report and preview the July 18 regular meeting agenda. That agenda includes a public hearing on a 22.9-acre annexation petition on North Main Street and a consent item to annex 27.4 acres on Rogers Road for a townhome development.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1384\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3337

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's planning board holds a public comment session July 11 on a rezoning that would bring 140 townhomes to 27 acres on Rogers Road\, land now outside town limits. Kimley-Horn & Associates has applied on behalf of owner M & EM Co LLC and developer Baker Residential to rezone the tract from Wake County's Residential-30 designation to the town's General Residential 10 Conditional District. An annexation petition for the same property is also pending. Staff recommends disapproval\, saying the master plan's setbacks\, rooflines and lot layout fall short of the comprehensive plan's guidance for townhome character\, and that the applicant is asking for more exceptions from town development standards than staff considers reasonable. The town's board of commissioners is scheduled to hold the formal public hearing on the case August 15.\n\nThat hearing never happened. The annexation petition went to the commissioners on 18 July and the rezoning came back to them at a work session on 1 August\, but by 15 August the applicant had withdrawn both the rezoning and the annexation\, and the board held no hearing.\n\nThe board also hears a presentation on transit service alternatives for the town's draft Public Transit Plan\, prepared by Toole Design after surveys and open houses on expanding bus service beyond the current Wake Forest Loop and the Wake Forest-Raleigh Express commuter route. It takes up minutes from its May 9 regular meeting and May 24 special work session. The agenda lists no items under presentations or old business.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1390\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3426

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board decides whether to accept an annexation petition from M & EM Co. LLC for 27 acres at 0 Rogers Road\, tied to the Rogers Road Townhomes rezoning\, and to set a public hearing on it. Wake County lists the tract under three PINs. The same meeting takes up a third amendment to the Wake Forest-Raleigh utility merger agreement\, which would reconcile a Wake Forest water overpayment\, adjust the boundary between the two systems' service areas\, and sell a town parcel at 234 S. College Street to Raleigh for an elevated water tank and booster station.\n\nThe board also considers an intermunicipal agreement letting the Town Manager execute a deal with Raleigh for stormwater and paving work tied to Raleigh's water and sewer upgrades in the area\, and would name the assistant town manager/CFO and the electric utility director as Wake Forest's first and second alternates to the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency. The rest of the agenda is routine: minutes from the June 6 work session and June 20 regular meeting\, a monthly department report\, a capital improvement project tracker\, a strategic plan update\, and a Wake County tax release report.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1392\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3437

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThe Wake Forest Board of Commissioners could commit $3.3 million toward a federal rail grant. The money would be the town's 20% match for a RAISE grant to build a train station and mobility hub on the S-Line corridor.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nThe board takes up a rezoning for the Star Road Tech Center\, filed by St. John Properties\, that would rezone 30.35 acres at 0 Star Road from Highway Business and Special Highway Overlay to Highway Business Conditional District\, opening the site to commercial\, office and light industrial use. Staff's report finds the plan generally inconsistent with the town's Community Plan and recommends denial\, citing five points of conflict: the land use mix\, a parking plan below UDO minimums\, and the applicant's refusal to build a backage road the Comprehensive Transportation Plan requires along the property's east side. The tract sits in the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction along Star Road near US-1\; no annexation petition has been filed. This meeting takes public comment on the case\, and the Board of Commissioners' public hearing is tentatively set for March 19.\n\nAlso on the agenda: the fifth work session on the town's Unified Development Ordinance rewrite\, where staff present draft standards for planned unit developments\, subdivision and lot rules\, and open space requirements for board feedback. No vote is attached to the work session. The board also takes up approval of its December 12 minutes\, still marked draft.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1524\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3373

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board considers pledging $3.3 million in local funds toward a federal grant for a Wake Forest stop on the S-Line passenger rail corridor. The 20% match would help draw a $13.2 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from NCDOT\, covering final design\, right-of-way acquisition and construction of a mobility hub\, a $16.5 million project in Wake Forest alone. NCDOT is pursuing the grant as a fallback in case a separate federal award the board endorsed last year does not come through.\n\nThe board also holds a public hearing on a petition to annex about 3 acres at 1950 Friendship Chapel Road\, tied to rezoning case RZ-23-01\, then takes up a companion item to act on the annexation itself. A consent agenda includes a $4.36 million amendment to the current budget\, with the largest single piece\, $3.09 million\, going to Parks\, Recreation & Cultural Resources\, plus two appointments to the Human Relations Council. The board also considers the 2024-2029 Capital Improvements Plan update\, which would direct staff to build a financing plan into next year's operating budget.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1538\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3467

DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's Board of Commissioners holds two public hearings this month. One is a rezoning of 30.35 acres at 0 Star Road for a project called Star Road Tech Center\; St. John Properties has filed to move the tract from Highway Business and Special Highway Overlay to Highway Business Conditional District and Special Highway Overlay. The board takes up a vote on the same case later in the meeting\, right after the hearing closes. The other hearing takes public input on the FY 2024-2025 annual operating budget\, the first of the budget season.\n\nThe Star Road case reaches this hearing with a staff recommendation against it. Staff told the planning board on 13 February that the plan is generally inconsistent with the town's Community Plan on five points\, among them a parking plan below the ordinance minimum and the applicant's refusal to build a backage road the Comprehensive Transportation Plan requires along the property's east side. Commissioners took a first look at their 5 March work session\, and the hearing was still open on 21 May\, when the board continued it and scheduled a vote for that meeting.\n\nThe consent agenda here carries a resolution certifying a contiguous annexation petition for 5.54 acres on Capital Blvd tied to a separate rezoning case\, an ordinance setting up a Housing Initiatives special revenue fund\, a street acceptance\, an ordinance codifying the town code's Supplement 17\, and two resolutions honoring a retiring senior police officer. The board also hears a downtown plan presentation from consultant Houseal Lavigne\, an update on the Flaherty Park Field #2 renovation\, and proclamations for Parkinson's Awareness Day and Vietnam War Veterans Day.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1543\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3364

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThe board is set to endorse Concept B of the draft South Main Street Corridor Study\, a full redesign of the corridor with off-street bike lanes\, wide sidewalks\, roundabouts\, parallel parking and a tree-lined median. Concept A\, which stays inside the current road right-of-way\, is the fallback option\; endorsing Concept B would add the design to the town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Stantec presented the draft study at the board's July 2 work session.\n\nCommissioners will also vote on a $94\,105 contract with Johnson Consulting to study whether to renovate or build a new performing arts center at the Renaissance Centre\, sign a resolution joining the Kroger opioid settlement\, and take up an interlocal agreement adopting Wake County's 2021 nondiscrimination ordinance.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nCommissioners are asked to approve a resolution letting the town file with the state Local Government Commission for up to $1.46 million in two-thirds parks and recreation bonds. The money would fund improvements at Miller Park and the town's reservoir\, both already in design. Staff plan to pair the sale with an Oct. 1 bond sale of $22.05 million already authorized by the November 2022 referendum.\n\nThe work session previews four items headed to the board's Aug. 20 meeting: an ordinance realigning the town's 1985 fire limits boundary with the downtown business district\, a design-build contract with Edifice LLC for a new Fire Station 6 at 1621 and 1701 Wait Avenue\, two research presentations from the town's Historic Preservation summer interns\, and a proposal to let ninth and tenth graders serve on youth advisory board seats again. NCDOT will also update commissioners on a planned downtown mobility hub and Amtrak station along its S-line rail corridor\, and staff will preview June 30 financial results ahead of the town's annual audit.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1643\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3334

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest's board takes up a parks and recreation impact fee increase that would roughly double what new development pays toward parks. A study by consultant Benesch calculates the fee at $8\,856 per single-family home and $4\,789 per multi-family unit\, against the $3\,691 and $2\,202 the town has charged since 2018. No vote is scheduled tonight\; a public hearing on adopting the new fees and the town's updated parks and recreation master plan comes September 17.\n\nThe rest of the session is presentations without action: a seventh work session on the Unified Development Ordinance rewrite Houseal Lavigne Associates has been drafting since 2022\, an update on that parks master plan itself\, a briefing on the regional Blueprint for Safety traffic study CAMPO expects to finish by fall 2025\, and July's financial summaries. Those show the general fund collected $846\,315 of an $86.9 million budget and spent $6.3 million\, for a year-to-date net loss of $5.4 million\, typical for early in the fiscal year since ad valorem taxes\, over half of general fund revenue\, are not due until September 1. The board also previews its September 17 regular meeting agenda\, which includes a rezoning for the Reserve at Dunn Creek\, a special use permit for a Whataburger drive-thru\, and $1.46 million in parks bonds.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1649\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3370

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Planning Board
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nWake Forest's Planning Board took public comment on two long-running planning documents: a rewrite touching every chapter of the town's Unified Development Ordinance\, and a new Downtown Plan replacing the 2017 Renaissance Plan. Consultant Houseal Lavigne has led the UDO rewrite since 2022\, covering zoning districts\, building design\, tree protection\, signage and subdivision standards\, after seven work sessions with the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners.\n\nThe Downtown Plan sets nine goals for downtown over the next 20 years\, including more housing options\, affordable housing incentives\, better walking and biking conditions\, and more greenspace. Both items go to a public hearing tentatively scheduled for November 19.

FEMA has conditionally approved the plan\; every municipality in the county must adopt it before that approval becomes final. Staff recommend approval\, with a formal public hearing set for December 17.\n\nThe board also hears a presentation on a proposed multi-modal transportation impact fee\, a charge on new development that would fund transportation projects tied to growth. State law requires the board's comment before the Board of Commissioners can adopt the fee\, which goes to a public hearing November 19 and a commissioners' vote December 17.

The downtown plan came back for a vote the same night\; the UDO rewrite returned in December.\n\nThe board also committed $3.3 million toward the S-Line mobility hub as the local match for a federal RAISE grant\, took up a resolution amending parks and recreation impact fees\, and considered an updated special events policy alongside a new motorized parade policy. The consent agenda awarded three construction contracts\, for improvements at HL Miller Park\, replacement of the Dunn Creek culvert and the 2025 street resurfacing program\, and signed a ten-year joint use agreement with the Boys & Girls Club serving Wake County.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest's commissioners weighed committing $3\,300\,000 at their December 3\, 2024 work session\, the town's 20 percent share of a $16\,500\,000 mobility hub in downtown Wake Forest. The rest would come from a federal RAISE grant NCDOT is reapplying for after scoring well but missing out earlier in the year. The hub is an Amtrak station tied to the S-Line\, the federally designated passenger corridor NCDOT is planning stations along.\n\nThe town's two-month-old microtransit pilot also came up\, and its problem is success. Go Wake Forest launched October 1\, replacing the Wake Forest Loop fixed-route bus and the Go Raleigh Access paratransit service with door-to-door on-demand rides from Via\, priced against what the old services cost. Ridership rose faster than anyone expected\, and demand now exceeds the vehicles available\, leaving some riders unable to book. Via presented on performance and options\, and staff asked the board for direction. The board also saw the draft Wake County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan\, which the town must adopt to stay eligible for federal mitigation grants\, and reviewed October financial statements showing the general fund $8\,000\,626 in the red for the year to date.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1704\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3412

Case RZ-24-01 would rezone 55.93 acres at 0 Harris Road\, filed by Church Street Company\, from Rural Holding to three conditional districts at once: Neighborhood Mixed Use\, Open Space and Residential Mixed Use.\n\nStaff found the request generally inconsistent with the 2022 Community Plan and denial reasonable and in the public interest. The plan designates the property Neighborhood Commercial\, Transit-Supportive Residential and Residential Area Plan #2\, and asks that lower-intensity housing sit next to the existing detached homes on Wallridge Drive and Harris Point Way. The proposed Residential Mixed Use conditions would allow multifamily units\, townhomes and residential care facilities there. The traffic analysis attached to the case lists a long set of required improvements\, among them a westbound right-turn lane from Harris Road onto Capital Boulevard\, a two-way left turn lane on Harris Road\, turn lanes at two of the three site accesses\, and signal warrant studies at Harris Road's intersections with Wall Road and with Wallridge Road after each phase\, with a fee in lieu for the developer's share if a signal is warranted. The board also picked its chair and vice chair for 2025.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1712\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3423

DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest commissioners took up a rewritten Unified Development Ordinance on December 17\, 2024\, the town's whole set of land use rules replaced at once. Case TA-24-01 got a public hearing and then a vote the same night\, with the planning board's recommendation\, a plan consistency analysis and the public comments received on the draft all in the record.\n\nThree more hearings shared the evening. Commissioners heard comment on the five-year capital improvements plan for FY 2025-2030\, on the draft Wake County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan\, and on a request from the owners of the Dr. Charles Brewer House at 327 N. Main Street to have it designated a local historic landmark.

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nThis is a fairly routine agenda for Wake Forest's Board of Commissioners. Beyond the usual minutes approvals and five ceremonial proclamations (Building Safety Month\, Municipal Clerks Week\, Earth Day\, National Bike Month\, Arbor Day)\, the substantive items are a resolution to schedule a public hearing on a 7.76-acre contiguous annexation petition from Ritchie Family Properties at 1313 N White Street\, a street-closure resolution for the July 4th Children's Parade\, an appointment to the Human Relations Commission advisory board\, and financing approval for Fire Station 6 through an installment purchase agreement with Pinnacle Bank.\n\nTwo items carry more weight: a resolution to settle all remaining claims and issues in Schooldev v. Wake Forest\, and a resolution to join a multi-town opioid settlement agreement against six remaining defendant companies\, which would bring in additional opioid-remediation funding. Neither the settlement terms nor the financing terms are broken out in the agenda itself.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1963\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1693

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nThis work session covers two new micromobility ordinances and the start of budget season. The board will consider updates to its motorized-scooter and e-bike ordinance (adopted in January 2026) that add rider regulations and update enforcement and civil penalties\, plus a new companion ordinance letting officers impound e-bikes and other micromobility devices involved in unsafe or reckless riding. Budget Director Michelle Daniels will also walk the board through the proposed FY 2026-2027 operating budget\, the first of what is likely to be several budget discussions before adoption.\n\nThe rest of the agenda is routine: April's monthly financial report\, a preview of the June 16 regular meeting agenda\, and a closed session under attorney-client privilege. The board also plans to discuss how to fill a vacant commissioner seat.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1990\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1689

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's Board of Commissioners takes up its FY 2026-2027 budget ordinance June 16\, along with resolutions authorizing Wake and Franklin County tax administrators to levy and collect property taxes and stormwater fees for the town next fiscal year. The consent agenda also sets a public hearing on a contiguous annexation petition for 2.97 acres at 3832 Rogers Road\, filed by Donald Lee Eddins\, John Barry Eddins\, and Brenda Gail Eddins Denton -- the same parcel that a rezoning applicant later brought before the Planning Board in July. Two new ordinances would regulate electric bicycles\, scooters\, and other micromobility devices\, including impoundment authority and civil penalties.\n\nThe board also authorizes purchasing property needed for the future Ligon Mill Road corridor\, awards a construction contract for the Flaherty Park tennis courts and restrooms project\, accepts Raleigh/Wake Hospitality Tax funding for the town's skate park and JB Flaherty Park Phase II\, and recognizes Sergeant Cashwell's retirement with a resolution and a surplus declaration for his badge and service weapon. The board closes under G.S. 143-318.11(6). Only the agenda was available\, not minutes\, so no outcomes are recorded here.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=1995\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1716

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners Work Session
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners Work Session\n\nWake Forest's board takes three presentations on 1 September and votes on none of them. The one with money attached is Go Wake Forest: staff bring an update on fare collection and ask the board to consider expanding service. The town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan amendments come next\, filed as application CPA 26-01 and carrying a Planning Board recommendation\, and after that a set of event recommendations for 2027 and beyond.\n\nThe rest is the board's monthly rhythm: July's financial summaries\, and a look at the draft agenda for the 15 September regular meeting\, which is where anything decided here would actually be voted on. The published agenda lists each item's attachments rather than their contents\, so what staff will recommend on fares or on the transportation plan is not on this record.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2030\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/2336

SUMMARY:Town of Wake Forest: Board of Commissioners
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nWake Forest's commissioners opened the budget season on Tuesday with a public hearing on what belongs in the five-year capital improvement plan for 2027 through 2032. Two more hearings followed: amendments to the town's comprehensive transportation plan\, which the Planning Board has already recommended\, and the annexation of 8.25 acres at 0 Devon Square Boulevard\, a parcel the town itself owns. The board voted on both the annexation and the transportation plan later in the same meeting.\n\nOn consent were a resolution to start the annexation of 16.38 acres at 4925 Unicon Drive for South Forest LLC\, construction engineering and inspection services for the Wake Forest reservoir\, a municipal agreement with NCDOT for construction money for phases 2 and 3 of the Smith Creek Greenway\, and authority for the town manager to start Sunday service on Go Wake Forest with a performance benchmark attached. The board also considered an age-friendly community strategic action plan\, took an update on S. Franklin Street through Holding Village\, and heard event recommendations for 2027. Seven proclamations opened the meeting\, among them PANS and PANDAS Awareness Month\, National Hispanic Heritage Month\, issued in English and Spanish\, and a resolution on Rosemary Pimentel's retirement.\n\nAgenda: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=2036\nWatch: https://wake-forest.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=3\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3850
