coming year.

 

*         Moderated by WTVD's weekend anchor and reporter Anthony
Wilson, the City's first-ever e-Town Hall will be televised live on
Durham's local television, DTV8 (Time Warner Cable channel 8), from 7:30
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. as well as from the City's website at 
http://durham.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2. 

 

*         City Council members will take part in the interactive event,
addressing questions submitted by Durham taxpayers regarding how tax
dollars are allocated in the proposed budget and what the priorities are
for the upcoming year. 

 

*         Residents are encouraged to submit their questions prior to
the June 3 event by email at eTownHall at DurhamNC.gov, through Facebook at
http://Facebook.com/CityofDurhamNC, on Twitter at
