On November 8th, 2005 you the citizens of Durham will vote for a mayor, 
three city council members and will vote on eight individual bonds. Do you 
know what each bond is?  The $110 million bond referendum includes funds for 
Parks, Streets & Sidewalks, Cultural Facilities, Public Safety, Public 
Improvements, Water & Sewer, Parking and Neighborhood Improvements.

More importantly, do you know what is contained within each bond? It might 
be surprising to learn that the bond called the Public Improvement Bond 
contains items related to solid waste and contamination threats. The 
Neighborhood Improvement Bond funding can be used for environmental clean up 
and land purchase. Just what else is in this bond?

Come to this informative presentation from Durham's City Manager, Patrick 
Baker (and staff) to hear more about the bonds and get your questions 
answered.
