Durhamites, get ready to tune in or show up for the Board of County Commissioners' Work Session on October 6. According to an announcement by the Durham County Government, the session is set for 9 a.m. and will take place both in-person and online. The local government invites the public to attend the meetings held at the Commissioners’ Chambers on the second floor of the Administration I Building, located at 200 E. Main Street, as well as virtually via Zoom.
For those who prefer the comfort of their own space, the meeting will be live-streamed on the Durham County's website and the Durham County Government YouTube Channel. Bringing great news to those who watch on Durham Television Network, DTN has made a comeback to the Spectrum channel lineup. The service is now accessible for live viewing on DTN (Spectrum Channel 8 and 1302), with replays regularly aired on a variety of local providers.
There is a little something for everyone, with hybrid meeting options that cater to staff and residents alike. People can join the October 6 Work Session using the provided Zoom link or dial-in information. "The Clerk to the Board requires everyone to include their full first and last name to be admitted to the Zoom session," stated the Durham County Government announcement.
Public engagement is a vital part of the process, and the County has made provisions for residents to voice their concerns or comments either in person or virtually. For those speaking at the meeting, they are reminded to submit their information beforehand – either directly at the session or via email by 2 p.m. on the preceeding Sunday. In the efforts to participate, all virtual speakers must be done by sending their full names and addresses to the Clerk to the Board and will be allowed to speak when unmuted during the meeting.
The agenda for the upcoming session, as well as future BOCC meetings, is available through the provided link. The BOCC isn't stopping there, with a Regular Session scheduled for the evening of October 13 at 7 p.m., ensuring that residents have multiple opportunities to engage with their local government and stay informed on the issues at hand.
