Summary of Proceedings

2023年3月10日 Durham市议会例行会议

本次会议于下午2:45召开，持续至下午6时。市议会讨论了多项议题，包括议程批准、对SCAD（简化代码以促进经济适用房）文本修正案的公众争议、消防员工资压缩、移民服务需求、Lick Creek流域水污染问题，以及Built to Last创新实验室的进展。会议最终决定将原定于3月20日的SCAD公开听证会推迟至未来日期，以确保全体议员出席。

公众评论

  • Jason Davis（Durham消防员工会Local 668主席）代表266名消防员呼吁解决薪酬压缩问题，称过去两个月已流失12人，替换每人的成本约为233,863美元，耗时18个月。他要求人力资源部门制定修正计划。
  • Adam Clark（World Relief Durham执行主任）强调15%的居民为移民，指出语言服务不足导致健康和教育信息缺失，呼吁扩大语言获取资金并继续支持参与式预算等项目。
  • Benita Green（内邻里理事会INC代表）报告INC已召开12次会议分析85页的SCAD提案，并提交详细报告，要求市议会给予充分关注。
  • Mimi Kessler（居民）批评SCAD提案中租赁单元仅5年可负担、出售单元仅第一次售出有效，未能解决代际财富积累问题，并质疑“建设更多会降低价格”的说法为全国性房地产行业谬误。
  • Donna Frederick（居民）质疑市议会成员是否已阅读提案，并指出公众参与过程为“展示与告知”，而非真正参与。
  • Stephen Nill（INC副主席）指出提案极其冗长，即使许多支持者也未通读，并要求市议会不要在没有充分理解的情况下投票。
  • Jacqueline Wagstaff（前市议会议员）呼吁关注无家可归者问题，并警告SCAD可能加剧无家可归现象。
  • Sherry Zane Rosenthal（居民）请求市议会给予INC一小时时间详细解释提案中的问题，包括树冠保护、应急服务影响等。

讨论议题

  • 项目10：Merrick Moore Park变更订单：市长Pro Tem Middleton询问关于破坏行为的安保措施，工作人员报告已加装摄像头和增强锁定装置，并将由警方加强巡逻。该变更订单用于更换被盗和损坏的设备。
  • Built to Last创新实验室：董事会主席Anita Daniels和执行主任Joyce Blackwell介绍了该组织的进展，包括企业培训中心、Durham协作计划（原Durham Compact）和Bull City股权分配风险基金的三个分支。他们已与多个基金会会面并招募新董事会成员。市议会成员表达了对该倡议的支持。
  • Lick Creek流域水质量与土地使用变化：Noose河守护者Samantha Cropp展示了Lick Creek流域因开发导致的严重浊度问题，超标多倍。她指出2009年流域恢复计划中关于加强沉积物控制和保护绿色空间的关键建议未被采纳，并呼吁暂停新合并直至采用更强有力的法规。城市官员反驳称该市已遵守并超越州级规定，并正在推进更严格的UDO文本修订（如使用絮凝剂）。经过讨论，部分议员认为该演示不适当且可能影响决策，但市长与多数议员支持将其视为教育信息。
  • SCAD文本修正案过程：市议会成员就是否需要额外时间研究该复杂提案展开辩论。部分议员（包括市长本人、Williams和Holsey Hyman）指出自己需要更多时间来理解提案影响，并提议推迟3月20日的公开听证会以便全体议员在场。最终达成共识：在3月20日的会议上继续公开听证会并宣布推迟至未来日期（考虑May Pro Tem Middleton缺席）。规划主任Sarah Young表示将帮助整理文件并加入工作人员分析。

关键成果

  • 议程批准：所有同意议程项目（1-6、8-13、16-22）以及项目7、14、15均获通过。项目10（Merrick Moore Park变更订单）已被提出并讨论后包含在同意议程中。
  • SCAD公开听证会延期：市议会决定在3月20日会议上继续已公告的公开听证会，并立即将之推迟至尚未确定的未来日期，以确保所有七名议员出席（市长Pro Tem Middleton和议员Johnson届时可能缺席）。
  • 董事会任命平局：规划委员会任命出现三票对三票的平局（Vicus Gurum与Sarah Oliver各得三票，另一人得一票），将推迟至下次工作会话以等待议员Johnson返回。其他任命（文化咨询委员会、住房上诉委员会、工人权利委员会、自行车与行人咨询委员会）均获通过。
  • 消防员工资与移民服务：虽未直接投票，但市议会注意到对消防员工资压缩和移民语言服务的呼吁，并指示相关事项将在未来议程中考虑。
