What's on this agenda

Cary's Town Council held a work session on October 23, 2025 covering two topics: an update on the town's water meter replacement program, and a review of how the town evaluates cumulative traffic impacts from nearby rezonings. Work sessions do not include public hearings or citizen comment.

Meeting recap

What happened, drawn from the records published after the meeting. Minutes

Utilities Director Jamie Revels reported the town is on track to finish replacing all first-generation water meters with iPERL smart meters by year-end, having installed about 28,436 of roughly 30,000 meters despite pandemic-era supply chain delays. Council members asked about metering technology, texting-alert outages, and the financial savings from leak alerts. Deputy Town Manager Russ Overton and Interim Transportation Director Cassie Schumacher-Georgopoulos then reviewed the history of the town's transportation system requirements for rezonings, prompted by the Batchelor Road and Knotty Oaks Drive case, which combined with a nearby development to generate 98 peak-hour trips, just under the 100-trip threshold that triggers a traffic study. No votes were taken; Council also reviewed its meeting schedule through early 2026, including a Feb. 21, 2026 retreat.
