<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 700;">Comprehensive Plan</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-weight: 400;"> – People learned a lot from participating in the Comp Plan process. Planning did a good job of listening to
residents who were members of their committees, but SE Durham and others felt shut out of the process. There could be more specificity in the plan, as Winston-Salem’s plan show is possible; for example, it doesn’t give any guidance on what to do when goals
are contradictory. One thing the is unclear is whether all the place types of the plan give current residents a neighborhood they can continue to afford or want to stay in. The changes in the urban growth boundary are upsetting some residents. Planning
wants to continue the processes they have used in the Comp Plan in re-writing the UDO. We should identify some topics to discuss together and devote some time during meetings to doing so. Also it would help to have some articles written on the Comp Plan
on topics of concern to communities, and post them to the website.</span></p>

or see the recorded videos. We will resend the schedule to the list-serve and put it on the website. Voter ID will be implemented this year; people can get an ID from the Durham Board of Elections for free, or from the DMV for a small fee and a lot of time.
Please share Voter ID information and encourage people to vote. It is illegal to steal candidate signs. The investigation following the accusation of bribery is taking FOREVER to get out of the SBI; will we get an answer before the election?</span></p>

who would vote for it from being punished at the polls. It was a zoning matter so the community couldn’t lead off the discussion, and once the developers said they wanted a deferral, no-one got to talk. There will be a task force to pick apart the proposal,
and maybe improve it. </span></p>
