that the community conversations around SCAD are really important; SCAD has been taken off the May 2 agenda and referred back to staff; the issue is really complicated and at the end of the conversation, we will have a much more solid base on which to make
decisions about how Durham will grow for everyone, laid out in a way that is understandable to all Durham’s residents. Another issue facing Durham is gun crime and gun violence; Mayor O’Neal is hoping to kick off a “hackathon” to identify what is already
being done in this space, and what can be productively added to get beyond simply reacting when something happens. We want get resources and services to neighborhoods where the need is so great, taking the time to build relationships and realizing that each
neighborhood will be different. The tree protection only applies on build, not on tear-down, which means we are losing a lot of neighborhood trees. We’d like to hear updates on the results of Expanding Housing Choices. The Duke party houses are an issue
in some neighborhoods, some with buses or many Ubers waiting to pick up sloshed students; the situation improves, then gets worse, then improves and so on, over time. Conversations with developers and thorough reviews from government neighborhoods can make
a real difference in getting infill that works for everyone. The growth of the city and county is starting to strain the fire-fighting capacity; since you don’t get a fire engine with next-day delivery, we need to get new equipment into the budget soon.
We do have new 911 operators and fire fighters. In conclusion, Durham has the capacity and opportunity to learn what will work for the whole community and show the world how to solve a lot of the problems that so many cities are facing.</span></p>
