With the holiday season still wrapping up, it’s a light week for local government. But there are a handful of local boards reconvening in the coming days – especially in Durham, where the City Council will tackle deer hunting, county commissioners will hear from the public on a five-year housing plan, and the school board will move to address a bus driver shortage. Elsewhere, Chatham County Commissioners head into a three-day budget retreat, and the Carrboro Town Council will continue hearing from the public on a proposed subdivision on Homestead Road.
Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.
Only one meeting in Orange County this week: the Carrboro Town Council is convening at 6 p.m. Tuesday, January 7. They only have two agenda items: council members will get an update on race and equity initiatives from the past year, and they’ll continue a public hearing on a proposed housing subdivision at 904 Homestead Road.

Chatham County Commissioners are holding a three-day budget retreat this week, starting Tuesday, January 7, and running through Thursday the 9th. Commissioners will discuss their goals and priorities for the coming fiscal year; they’ll hear presentations from various county departments; they’ll receive details about the expected conditions affecting next year’s budget, including tax revenue, inflation, and the general state of the economy; and they’ll provide staff with guidance and suggestions as they begin preparing a budget draft.

In Durham, the City Council meets twice this week, first at 7 p.m. Monday, January 6, and then again at 1 p.m. Thursday, January 9.

Then at Thursday’s work session, council members will hold a public hearing on a proposed five-year plan for housing and community development needs; they’ll also seek public comment on a handful of rezoning proposals.
