The Durham Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is gearing up for a work session at the top of the next business week. Scheduled for Today, at 9 a.m., this gathering is an opportunity for community members to get a front-row seat to local governance in action. The session will transpire in the Commissioners' Chambers, nestled within the Administration I Building at 200 E. Main St., as detailed in Durham County's recent announcement.
According to the county's invitation, everyone is welcome here. You don't need a sign-up sheet or request form, you just show up. If you plan on being there in person, health-wise, the county nudges a reminder about the upsides of wearing a mask in indoor spaces where others congregate. But even if you're not up for the trek or the mask, you've got options: Live streams will be up and running on both the County's official website and the Durham County Government YouTube Channel. Additionally, recorded sessions will be hanging out on the same platforms for your viewing convenience.
The good news keeps coming for folks who follow local government through their TVs. The BOCC sessions are making their way live onto the Durham Television Network (DTN), back in action on Spectrum channel lineup. Channel surfing can land you on DTN (Spectrum Channel 8 and 1302), where replays of Regular Sessions also air. Frontier Communications customers can tune in on Channel 70, and AT&T U-verse subscribers, on Channel 99. And for those who like their content on-demand, there's the BoxCast app, ready to sync with your Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV – just search "City of Durham."
For the digitally inclined or those just out of reach from downtown Durham, the Commissioners are keeping the virtual window open. They're continuing their hybrid approach to civic engagement, allowing staff and citizens to join Work or Regular Sessions through Zoom.
