SUMMARY:City Council Afternoon Session
DESCRIPTION:A. A.1 \nB. \n\n\n1:00 P.M. MEETING CALLED TO ORDER BY THE MAYOR Pledge of Allegiance \nRECOGNITION OF SPECIAL AWARDS \n\n\n  \n\n\n\nB.1 Raleigh Parks – National Accreditation – Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies \nThe Raleigh Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Resources department (Raleigh Parks) has recently achieved accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies and the National Recreation and Park Association. This prestigious distinction recognizes Raleigh Parks as one of the leading park and recreation agencies in the country. \n.\nAccreditation is the highest honor a park and recreation organization can achieve. It demonstrates that Raleigh Parks meets rigorous standards related to operations\, planning\, community involvement\, and service delivery. Only a small percentage of agencies nationwide \n\n\n\n\n\n1 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhave earned this recognition. — \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC. CONSENT AGENDA \nAll items on the consent agenda are considered to be routine and may be enacted by one motion. If a council member requests discussion on an item\, the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered separately. The vote on the consent agenda will be a roll call vote. \n—\nRecommended Action: Motion to approve all Items of the Consent Agenda. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nC.1 CONSENT AGENDA – GENERAL ITEMS \n\n\n \n\n\n\nC.1.a Mutual Aid Agreement – Wake County Emergency Management \nAndrea Saravitz\, Fire Department\n.\nWake County is requesting each governing Board to adopt its Emergency Operations Plan and Mutual Aid Agreement. The County’s Emergency Operations Plan does not replace the City’s Emergency Operations Plan. Approval of the County’s Plan ensures that local plans and procedures align with and support the overall county\, State\, and federal response to ensure coordination across all phases of emergency management. The County’s Plan\, as well as each municipal plan\, must follow the National Incident Management System (NIMS) principles that each jurisdiction adopted between 2005 and 2007.\n.\nThe Wake County Emergency Management Mutual Aid Agreement is the blanket Agreement that ties all municipal resources\, under the authority of the Board and Manager\, to provide mutual aid and the jurisdiction to receive mutual assistance from other municipalities in the county\, across the State\, and ties eligibility under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC)\, which all 50 States have signed. The Mutual Aid Agreement also does not replace any existing mutual aid agreements that departments may have. Each jurisdiction will have a stand-alone Mutual Aid Agreement for signature. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the agreement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.1.b Resolution – Authorize Donation of Surplus Property – Town of Winfall \nIvonne Mendez\, Finance\n.\nG.S. 160A-280 gives authority to local governments to donate personal property that is no \n\n\n\n\n\n2 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nlonger of use to the City to another governmental unit within the United States\, a sister city\, or a nonprofit organization. A request has been received from the Town of Winfall for a utility vehicle to assist the town’s Public Works department.\n. \nThe Purchasing Manager is\, therefore\, requesting a resolution approving the donation of surplus property to the Town of Winfall. A public notice has been made of at least five days prior to the adoption of a resolution approving the donation.\n. \nThe donation includes the following items: . \nOne (1) 2013 Ford E250 – Tag 014180 VIN # 1FDBF2B69DEB20257 \n.\nThe total estimated value of the donation from the Fleet Management Operations to the Town of Winfall is $8\,000. Additional information is included with the agenda materials. \n—\nRecommended Action: Adopt the resolution and authorize staff to proceed with the transfer of the equipment to the town of Winfall. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.1.c Raleigh Housing Authority Bond Issuance – Moore Square Apartments \nAnnie Baumann-Mitchell\, Housing and Community Development\n.\nThe Raleigh Housing Authority (RHA) has requested to issue up to $31\,682\,000 in bonds for the purpose of financing\, constructing\, and equipping the Moore Square Apartments\, a 160- unit affordable rental development. Under North Carolina Housing Authorities Law\, RHA may issue bonds for projects located within the City of Raleigh\, provided that City Council adopts a resolution consenting to the issuance of the bonds. This action will not obligate the City to the project in any way. \n—\nRecommended Action: Adopt a resolution to authorize the Raleigh Housing Authority to issue bonds for Moore Square Apartments affordable rental housing project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.1.d Affordable Housing – Budget Memo – Barton Oaks \nAnnie Baumann-Mitchell\, Housing and Community Development\n.\nThe Joint Venture Rental Development Program provides low-interest loans to developers of affordable multifamily housing and leverages the Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Because the City’s Rental Development Program is primarily designed to complement the LITHC program and its funding cycle\, conditional commitments issued after City Council project approval are partially contingent upon the projects receiving the LIHTC award. LIHTCs have now been awarded to Barton Oaks (fka Strickland Apartments) and staff request authorization to process the necessary budget transfers. \n\n\n\n\n\n3 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the associated budget transfer for Barton Oaks\, a previously authorized affordable housing development project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.1.e License Agreement – Seasonal Pool at Lake Johnson Park – Wolfpack Elite\, Inc \nKen Hisler\, Parks Recreation and Cultural Resources\n.\nSince 1984 the Parks\, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department (Raleigh Parks) has operated a seasonal pool at Lake Johnson Park. Staff has negotiated a nine-year license agreement with Wolfpack Elite\, Inc\, a local swim club\, to create a year-round\, heated\, pool that includes replacement of the existing 40-year-old pool and upgrades to the pump system. Wolfpack Elite\, Inc. will provide a minimum $2.0 million investment to complete the agreed upon infrastructure improvements. Raleigh Parks will complete upgrades to the existing bathhouse to align with the pool upgrades.\nIn return for the financial investment\, the terms of the licensing agreement provide for the Wolfpack Elite organization to receive no-cost\, exclusive use of the pool and facilities. The public will continue to have access for seasonal recreational use of the pool with expanded access year-round. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute the license agreement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.1.f Resolution – Donation of Property – Retirement of Canine Officer \nDawn Myers\, Police\n.\nA police dog is being retired from duty and needs a proper home upon retirement. Included with the agenda materials is a resolution to authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the required documentation to transfer ownership of this service animal from the City to the individual officer stated in the resolution. \n—\nRecommended Action: Adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary instruments to donate the police dog. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nC.2 CONSENT AGENDA – PETITION ANNEXATIONS \n\n\n \n\n\n\nC.2.a Petition Annexation – AX-30-25 – Contiguous Inside ETJ – 2101 Jones Franklin Road (District D) \nChristopher Golden\, Planning and Development\n.\nPetition Annexation – AX-30-25 – Contiguous Inside ETJ – 2101 Jones Franklin Road (District D)\n. \n\n\n\n\n\n4 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n—\nRecommended Action: Acknowledge the annexation petition\, direct the City Clerk to check the sufficiency of the petition pursuant to State statutes\, and if found sufficient\, authorize advertisement for public hearing to be held on October 21\, 2025. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nC.3 \n\n\nCONSENT AGENDA – GRANTS \n\n\n \n\n\n\nC.3.a Grant Amendment – NC Governor’s Highway Safety Program – Traffic Enforcement \nAshley Staten\, Police \n. \nThe City has been awarded an additional $1\,500 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through the Governor’s Highway Safety Program (GHSP) to pay travel costs for three officers to attend the GHSP’s annual traffic safety conference\, and no city match is required. These funds will be added to the current grant of $50\,000\, which was approved by Council on September 2\, 2025\, making the total amount of the grant $51\,500. \n.\nA budget amendment in the amount of $1\,500 is necessary to appropriate the grant proceeds; accounting detail provided in agenda back-up. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize staff to execute all required grant documentation; authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $1\,500; adopt a resolution required to complete the grant application. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nC.4 \n\n\nCONSENT AGENDA – CONTRACTS AND CONSULTANT SERVICES \n\n\n \n\n\n\nC.4.a Professional Services – On-Call Master Service Agreement for Design and Engineering Services – Multiple Vendors \nJames Walters\, Engineering Services\n.\nFollowing a Request for Qualifications process to procure professional design services\, 14 proposals were received September 12\, 2025\, for the On-Call Master Service Agreement for design and engineering services. Individual contracts will be negotiated to provide architectural\, mechanical\, structural\, civil\, electrical\, plumbing\, landscape\, abatement design\, costs estimating\, and construction administration for both known projects and unknown as-needed work. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute individual contracts with Dewberry Engineers\, Inc. and Kimley-Horn and Associates\, Inc.\, in the amount not to exceed $2\,000\,000 for a five-year term with each vendor. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nC.4.b \n\n\nContract Services – Access Control System Upgrades – Raleigh Convention and \n\n\n \n\n\n5 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerforming Arts Complex – Brady Integrated Security\, Inc. – Amendment No. 1 \nKerry Painter\, Raleigh Convention and Performing Arts Complex\n.\nAn amendment to the existing contract with Brady Integrated Security\, Inc. is necessary to strengthen the safety and security infrastructure across the convention and performing arts centers by updating equipment\, cameras\, and improving pedestrian accessibility based on additional needs identified. Additional details are included with the agenda materials. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the contract with Brady Integrated Security\, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $542\,414. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.4.c Contract Services – GoRaleigh Dispatch and Vehicle Locator System – Clever Devices LTD \nDavid Walker\, Transportation\n.\nOperation of the GoRaleigh transit system relies heavily on the development of transportation schedules and associated geographic information.

The plan will connect the region; connect all Wake County communities; provide frequent\, reliable urban mobility; and enhance access to transit. Transit improvements identified in the plan include the implementation of four (4) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors. On September 4\, 2018\, City Council authorized the mayor to accept the City’s project sponsor designation for the Wake Transit Plan’s BRT (Wake BRT) projects.\n.\nThe Wake Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) New Bern Avenue Project will install approximately 5.4 miles of BRT infrastructure including 3.3 mile of dedicated bus lanes and 19 bus platforms at 10 stations along New Bern Avenue\, Morgan Street\, Edenton Street\, Blount Street\, and Wilmington Street. On January 7\, 2025\, City Council rejected all bids during the previous construction advertisement. At the February 11\, 2025\, Council Work Session\, staff presented a project status update and approach for splitting construction activities into the three (3) separate packages.

Speed limit reductions resident requested and are the first step in the broader traffic calming process and are usually effective enough that no further action is needed.\n.\nThrough the resident engagement process\, residents have shown support for the following streets:\n. \n\n\n\n\nBryan Street Laurel Valley Way Old Buffaloe Road \n\n\n242 ballots sent with 1 no vote 100 ballots sent with 3 no votes \n32 ballots sent with 1 no vote \n\n\n\n\n.\nEngineering evaluations were conducted\, and staff recommends that the speed limits be reduced. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the appropriate changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials effective seven days after Council action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.7.b Bus Zone – 200 West Martin Street \nTony Howard\, Transportation\n.\nIt is recommended that a Bus Zone be established on the south side of the 200 block of West Martin Street near South Dawson Street to better serve GoRaleigh Route 9. The current bus stop on West Hargett Street has proven difficult for operators to access due to tight routing constraints\, leading to missed service and safety concerns. Relocating the zone will improve reliability\, provide safer curb access for passengers (including wheelchair ramp deployment)\, and enhance overall rider experience. No objections were received from property owners during notification. The change will also adjust curb use by removing a Commercial Loading Zone\, reducing an oversized Curbside Pickup Zone\, and creating four new metered spaces on West Hargett Street. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nC.7.c No Parking Zone – Line of Sight – South Person Street \nTony Howard\, Transportation\n.\nIt is recommended that No Parking Zones be established along the west side of South Person Street near Bledsoe Avenue to improve safety and sight lines. A staff study \n\n\n\n\n\n8 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nconfirmed that parked vehicles obstruct visibility for drivers exiting Bledsoe Avenue. While some residents expressed concerns about the loss of on-street parking\, staff emphasized the need to prioritize safety. The change will remove approximately four parking spaces but will provide safer conditions for motorists and pedestrians. A related concern at South Person and Lee Street will also be reviewed separately. \n—\nRecommended Action: Authorize the changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nD.

SPECIAL ITEMS \n\n\n  \n\n\n\nE.1 Council Contingency Disbursement \nMichele Mallette\, City Manager’s Office\n.\nIn accordance with appropriation procedures for Council Contingency items\, at the request of Council\, the following disbursements from Council Contingency allocations are being requested: .\nCouncil Member Patton\n$1000 to Wake Audubon Society for their Leave Your Leaves Program\n.\nCouncil Member Harrison\n$1000 to U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants North Carolina (USCRI-NC for their Fly With Me Event\n.\nCouncil Member Silver\n$1000 to HIS Daughter’s Legacy\, Inc. for their STEM & Leadership Mini-Camp \n\n\n\n\n\n11 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n—\nRecommended Action: Council may authorize disbursement of the Council Contingency allocation request as presented. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nE.2 City Code Text Change – Seaboard Station Social District \nWhitney Schoenfeld\, City Manager’s Office \nDuring the September 16 Council meeting\, staff presented a social district application for Sip n’ Stroll Seaboard Station. Council directed staff to draft an ordinance amendment to establish the new district. \nPer Council direction\, the proposed boundaries have been modified to include 111 Seaboard Station businesses. Each business will retain the option to opt-in or opt-out of the district. \nAn ordinance amending the City Code to reflect these changes is included with the agenda materials\, as well as a map depicting revised boundaries of the social district. If adopted\, the ordinance would take effect on November 14\, 2025. \n—\nRecommended Action: Should Council desire to proceed with establishing an additional social district\, it would be appropriate to adopt the ordinance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nE.3 Noise Ordinance Recommendations – Amplified Sound – Proposed Amendments \nWhitney Schoenfeld\, Special Events\nDottie Kibler\, City Attorney’s Office\n.\nAt the July 1\, 2025\, City Council meeting\, the Council directed staff to assess the current noise ordinances and to provide recommendations addressing concerns about amplified sound. Businesses and neighbors raised concerns about commercial amplified entertainment and enforcement of noise ordinances. The City engaged Brian Block of Sound City Planning to evaluate the City’s current noise standards for amplified entertainment and to offer recommendations for addressing concerns. Mr. Block has extensive experience in nightlife regulation in Austin\, Texas and has worked with a number of cities on establishing noise regulations for amplified entertainment. In addition to working with staff\, Mr. Block made multiple visits to Raleigh\, Glenwood South\, and venues elsewhere in the City. His work also incorporated survey responses and stakeholder interviews with business representatives and residents. His report is included with the agenda materials. \n.\nBased on Mr. Block’s recommendations\, staff across multiple departments have prepared an amendment to the City’s noise ordinances\, proposing three categories of decibel limits for commercial amplified sound: for Glenwood South\, for the remainder of the City\, and for venues outside Glenwood South that obtain a permit. A copy of the draft ordinance is included in the \n\n\n\n\n\n12 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nagenda materials.\n.\nBusiness owners expressed frustration that there was no mathematical limit that applied to sound. Adopting a decibel limit sets clear expectations for all. The specific decibel limits proposed are recommended by the expert based on his work in Raleigh and differ depending on the time of day and day of the week. The proposed amendment aims to establish clear rules that balance business interests in playing amplified sound and residents’ desire to enjoy quiet in their own homes.\n.\nBecause violation of the amended ordinance can be punished as a misdemeanor\, State law requires that the Council receive this proposed ordinance at one meeting and vote on the ordinance at a later meeting. If the Council wished to proceed with this ordinance\, it would be appropriate to place the item on another Council agenda. The Council could direct that the item appear on the Consent Agenda\, in the City Attorney’s Report\, as a Special Item\, or issue other directions. \n—\nRecommended Action: Receive the proposed noise ordinance amendments and determine any further action. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nF. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY MANAGER \n\n\n \n\n\n\nF.1 Reflecting Raleigh: The Next Comprehensive Plan – Civic Assembly \nThe Comprehensive Plan serves as the city’s long-term vision for the built environment. Reflecting Raleigh is the process of developing the Next Comprehensive Plan\, which will include a focus on sustainable and equitable growth\, aligning adopted city plans and priorities\, and enhanced community engagement.\n.\nA successful plan requires input from a large\, representative cross-section of the Raleigh community. To achieve this level of representation\, Reflecting Raleigh is leveraging a breadth of strategies\, including a civic assembly.\n.\nDuring the meeting staff will share information about the civic assembly design process and the assignment that the assembly will be tasked with. \n—\nRecommended Action: Approve the remit for the Raleigh Civic Assembly\, as outlined in the staff memorandum included with the agenda materials. Alternatively\, City Council may defer this item to a future meeting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nF.2 Overview – Development Review Process \nPatrick Young\, Planning and Development . \n\n\n\n\n\n13 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCity Council recently requested additional information on the development review process\, with a focus on the administrative components of the process. Staff will detail the process\, who is involved (internally and externally)\, ongoing engagement with stakeholders\, information about the timeliness and efficiency of review processes\, the challenges associated with the development review process\, and recent and planned improvements. \n—\nRecommended Action: Receive as information. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nG.

The annual work plan for fiscal year 2025-26 will be presented for approval. Information is included with the agenda materials. \n—\nRecommended Action: Receive the annual report as information.

Funding is provided through the 2022 Parks Bond Referendum\, with a budget of $5\,600\,000. \n—\nRecommended Action: Approve the schematic design for the Mine Creek Greenway Improvements project as recommended by the Raleigh Parks\, Recreation and Greenway Advisory Board. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nI. MATTERS SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING (AFTERNOON SESSION) \n\n\n \n\n\n\nI.1 Rezoning Z-52-24 Tryon Road\, on the north side of Tryon Road between its intersections with Par Drive and Fairway Drive (District D) \nHannah Reckhow\, Planning and Development \n\n\n\n\n\n14 of 19 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n.\nThis is a request to increase residential development and broaden the range of permitted housing types.\n.\nFollowing the September 16 City Council meeting\, the rezoning request was revised to remove the property located at 1600 Tryon Road.
