This is a light week for local government in general, but the Orange County Board of Commissioners is the exception: their meeting on Tuesday features several big agenda items, including employee benefits, long-term capital improvement plans, next year’s property revaluation, and a (potentially) upcoming $300 million bond referendum for local schools.
Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.
Orange County Commissioners meet in the Whitted Building at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 2. Commissioners will hear recommendations for staff benefits including health insurance, and they’ll vote on a resolution declaring their intent to move forward with a $300 million school bond referendum on the November ballot. In addition, County Manager Bonnie Hammersley will present her 10-year capital investment plan, and commissioners will get an update on the upcoming property revalution that’s set for 2025.

Durham County Commissioners meet for a work session at 9 a.m. Monday, April 1. Commissioner will receive GoDurham’s annual report, hear a presentation on regional transit from GoTriangle, and get recommendations from the county’s Community Safety and Wellness Task Force. Get the full agenda here.
And the Durham City Council meets twice this week, at 7 p.m. Monday, April 1, and then again at 1 p.m. Thursday, April 4. Monday’s meeting includes several development proposals including one from Trinsic Residential on a project called Aura 751; Thursday’s work session will feature an annual presentation from the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro metropolitan planning organization, or MPO.
