Whereas: Citizens need a way to track their service requests made to 
Housing, Zoning, Solid Waste and other city/county departments,

Whereas: When service requests become lost in the system, there may not be 
follow through,

Whereas: Citizens get discouraged when the work isn't completed,

We resolve that: Durham One Call organizes "Service Delivery Standards," for 
consistencies in city/county departmental service performances and to allow 
citizens to track such performance of service requests through the system. 
Furthermore, we propose that the County be strongly encouraged to join the 
Durham One Call program in order to make county functions easily accessible 
to the entire Durham community.
