The 2022 Parks Bond is the source for approximately $20.8 million to cover the cost to deliver the project.
.
Staff is requesting a $707,190 contract amendment with STV, Incorporated.

Benjamin Griffin, Transportation
A Request for Qualifications was advertised September 16, 2025 to secure professional services for Automated Pavement Data Collection to meet the City’s goal for bi-annual pavement condition survey. The Department of Transportation began automated pavement data collection in 2019 with the establishment of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E3303 standard. This program collects condition data in an objective manner, including crack density, ride quality and rutting. This objective data is used to drive quantitative decision making for treatments on the City’s 1,157 miles of streets. This contract approval will function as a continuation of that program until FY2031.
On October 17, 2025, six (6) statements of qualification were received. All statements of qualification were evaluated by staff, and the evaluation committee recommends award of a contract to International Cybernetics Company, LP d/b/a IMS Infrastructure Management Services.
Terms of the contract include a three-year term with two optional one-year renewals.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with International Cybernetics Company, LP d/b/a IMS Infrastructure Management Services in the amount not to exceed $1,420,000.

D.3.d

Contract Services –Master Service Agreement – On-Call Electrical Support Services – Various Vendors

Scott Smart, Raleigh Water
Staff recommends multiple master service agreements (MSAs) for on-call electrical support services. Following a request for proposal issued on October 31, 2025, two proposals were received for on-call electrical support services for water and wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, and lift stations. These responses were evaluated, and the committee recommends the selection of the contractors listed below to provide these on-call and emergency services:
– Neikens Electrical Contracting, LLC: Not to exceed $750,000
– White Electrical Construction Company: Not to exceed $2,350,000
Staff will utilize contractors strategically to procure services for specific projects that cannot be efficiently managed by our internal staff. These contracts will function as on-call master service agreements and will not encumber any funds initially. The projects will be funded through operational funds and planned Capital Improvement Project funds. Additional details are available with the agenda materials.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute the on-call master service agreements in the amounts indicated.

D.3.e

Contract Services – Moving Services – New City Hall – 35° North

Willistine Hedgepeth, Engineering Services
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised September 25, 2025 to solicit qualified firms to provide moving services to transition City staff from five facilities, three City-owned and two leased, into the new 17-story City Hall. The scope of services included move planning, coordination, physical move execution, and asset removal for disposition.
The initial solicitation closed October 22, 2025, with four proposals received. During the evaluation process, the review committee identified significant inconsistencies in pricing, interpretations of the scope of services to be provided, and incomplete RFP responses. After consultation with the City Attorney’s Office, the committee determined that ambiguities in the original RFP language warranted rejection of all proposals.
A revised RFP, incorporating clear scope definitions, deliverables, and pricing requirements was re-advertised December 16, 2025. Eight proposals were received and evaluated by a multi-departmental staff review panel. Based on the evaluation results, the selection committee recommends awarding the contract to 35° North. A budget amendment is necessary to appropriate capital reserves to provide adequate funding for the services contract.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for moving services with 35° North in the amount not to exceed $620,724; authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $250,000. Accounting details are included with the agenda materials.

D.4

CONSENT AGENDA – ENCROACHMENT REQUESTS

D.4.a

Encroachment – 101 Enterprise Street – Landscaping and Irrigation

Daniel King, Transportation
.
From time to time the City receives requests from private property owners, firms, or corporations to encroach upon publicly maintained right-of-way for special construction, utility conveyances, monitoring wells, etc. Staff reviews these requests and upon satisfactorily meeting administrative and regulatory requirements, submits major encroachments to the City Council for authorization and approval.
.
The property owner at 101 Enterprise Street wishes to install landscaping and associated drip irrigation system in the right-of-way of Enterprise Street and Clark Avenue. These proposed encroachments have been identified as part of SPR-0340-2025. Staff has reviewed this request and has no concerns with the instillation of the proposed encroachment in the public right-of-way.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the encroachment subject to completion of a liability agreement and documentation of proof of insurance by the applicant.

D.5

CONSENT AGENDA – BUDGET AMENDMENTS AND TRANSFERS

Hargett Street, the property owner has agreed to provide an allowance of $156,140 to be applied toward the tenant’s actual, out-of-pocket costs for moving, data cabling, signage, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
The property owner will reimburse these costs upon receipt of required proofs of purchase and payment. A budget transfer/amendment is necessary in the amount of $156,140 to appropriate these funds.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $156,140.

D.7

CONSENT AGENDA – TRAFFIC

D.7.a

All-way Stops

William Shumaker, Transportation
.
The Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) was established with a goal of increasing the safety and vibrancy along neighborhood streets. The three components used by the NTMP are speed limit reductions, all-way stop conversions, and traffic calming projects.
.
One of the components, all-way stop evaluations, are conducted by requests. When warranted, conversion to all-way stop can improve the operation of an intersection and increases safety by reducing conflicts.
.
Staff received a citizen request for an all-way stop evaluation at the intersections of Coleman Street at Postell Street & Watauga Street at Virginia Avenue. An engineering evaluation was conducted to determine if an all-way stop was warranted. The intersection recommended meets and/or exceeds the criteria specified in Section 4 of the NTMP policy adopted by the Raleigh City Council. All-way stops do not further restrict on-street parking. An existing ordinance already restricts parking by 25 feet for all intersection approaches. All residents directly abutting these intersections have been notified. Upon approval, the Traffic Schedule should be amended effective seven days after Council action.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the appropriate changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials effective seven days after Council action.

D.7.b

Neighborhood Speed Limit Reductions

William Shumaker, Transportation
The Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) was established with a goal of increasing the safety and vibrancy of Raleigh’s neighborhood streets. 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.
Staff engages all properties abutting the street in the speed limit reduction process and solicits input from those residents through mailers. Resident support is represented below by showing the total number of ballots sent to the abutting properties and the number of “no” responses received per street:
– Dana Drive/Fort Sumter Road – 8 ballots sent with 0 no votes
– Pecan Road – 37 ballots sent with 0 no votes
Engineering evaluations were conducted, and staff recommends that the speed limits be reduced.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the appropriate changes in the traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials effective seven days after Council action.

D.7.c

No Stopping No Standing Zone – Hilburn Drive

Tony Howard, Transportation
.
Staff recommends establishing a No Stopping No Standing Zone along sections of Hilburn Drive between Thornhill Pines Road and Pike Road to address ongoing safety and operational issues related to school pickup and drop-off at Hilburn Drive Academy. Despite recent pavement marking changes, parents continue to block travel lanes, stop within hashed areas, and create unsafe conditions. Existing No Parking regulations allow loading and unloading, limiting effective enforcement. The proposed restriction would prohibit all stopping, standing, and parking, enabling clearer enforcement and improving safety and traffic flow.
.
All affected property owners were notified, and one concern was received from the sole fronting property owner at 7601 Hilburn Drive. Staff conducted onsite meetings and explored alternatives, but no mutually agreeable solution was reached. Given the limited response and persistent safety issues, staff recommends proceeding with the original proposal.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials.

D.7.d

No Parking Zones – Line of Sight – South Saunders Street

Tony Howard, Transportation
.
It is recommended that No Parking zones be established along the west side of South Saunders Street at Grissom Street to improve sight distance and intersection safety. A sight-line evaluation confirmed that parked vehicles obstruct drivers’ ability to see oncoming traffic when exiting Grissom Street. During the review, staff also identified unenforceable fifteen (15)-minute parking signage along the 1200 block of South Saunders Street and, in coordination with the adjacent property owner, recommended replacing it with a codified thirty (30)-minute time limit to support short-term customer parking. No objections were received from notified property owners. The proposed changes will convert two (2) unregulated spaces to 30-minute time-limited parking and remove approximately seven (7) unregulated spaces, resulting in improved safety for motorists and pedestrians.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials

D.7.e

No Parking Tow Away Zone – Old Trawick Way

Tony Howard, Transportation
.
Due to ongoing public safety, emergency access, and operational concerns associated with overnight parking and the relocation of derelict vehicles from Brewton Place to Old Trawick Way, staff recommend establishing a No Parking 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Tow-Away restriction on both sides of Old Trawick Way. This measure is intended to preserve nighttime emergency access while maintaining daytime parking availability for adjacent businesses. Affected property owners were notified and no objections were received. The proposed restriction would affect twenty-four (24) parking spaces during overnight hours only.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials.

D.7.f

ADA Parking Space – 300 Blake Street

Tony Howard, Transportation
Following a citizen request regarding limited accessibility between the City Market Parking Lot and nearby businesses, staff evaluated the City Market area and identified a feasible location for a designated ADA parking space along the east side of the 300 block of Blake Street near Wolfe Street. Due to historic streetscape constraints, few locations met accessibility standards; however, the recommended space provides compliant sidewalk widths, slopes, and direct access to an accessible pedestrian route without significant modifications.
Affected property owners were notified, and the requesting citizen expressed support for the proposal. Staff recommend converting one existing. two-hour unmetered parking space to ADA accessible parking to improve equitable access to the corridor. Upon approval, the Traffic Schedule would be amended effective seven days after Council action.

—

Recommended Action: Authorize the changes in the Traffic Schedule included with the agenda materials.

E.

SPECIAL ITEMS

G.1

External Text Change Request

Justin Rametta, Planning and Development
This is a public – or external – request for a text change to the Unified Development Ordinance. The applicant, Morningstar Law Group, requests to modify the minimum school lot area standard of 500 square feet per enrolled pupil contained in UDO Section 6.3.1.D.2.b.

—

Recommended Action: The Council can authorize the text change, refer the request to committee for further discussion, or choose not to act upon the request.

G.2

Boards and Commissions Bylaws

Sue Ellen Colón, Community Engagement
Following the recommendations of the Special Committee on Boards and Commissions, City Council approved several recommendations to strengthen consistency and governance across advisory boards. Among these actions was the adoption of a standardized bylaws template developed by the Community Engagement department for use by all advisory boards. Accordingly, each board is required to revise and resubmit its bylaws to align with the approved template.
To improve efficiency and streamline the review process, staff established a method under which revised bylaws are reviewed and approved in grouped batches, rather than through individual board presentations. This agenda item represents the second such batch; however, these three (3) boards/commissions are statutory planning, land use, or quasi-judicial entities that operate under Rules of Procedure as opposed to bylaws. For each of these boards the adopted standard bylaws template does not apply.
Included with the agenda materials are revised Rules of Procedure for these statutory entities; approval by Council is recommended:
– Planning Commission
– Design Review Commission
– Board of Adjustment

—

Recommended Action: Approve the revised rules of procedure.

H.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY MANAGER

H.1

Customer Experience Program Update

Karen Ray, City Manager’s Office
In 2024, the city began implementing a Customer Experience solution that would replace the SeeClickFix software application and create an online tool for customers to request assistance from the City. Throughout the planning and implementation process of AskRaleigh, staff have been working towards a solution that provides an experience that creates an easy, fair experience for all customers. Since the public launch of AskRaleigh in July 2025, staff has continued to make progress on program goals and would like to share an overall update of the program as well as review available data and goals for the near future.
A presentation will be shared during the meeting.

H.2

FY 26 Hospitality Tax Competitive Process – Funding Recommendations

Evan Raleigh, City Manager’s Office
Enabling legislation enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1991 authorized countywide hospitality taxes in Wake County, including a 6 percent Occupancy Tax and a 1 percent Prepared Food and Beverage to support investments in arts, sports, cultural and convention facilities. The law required the Board of Commissioners and the Raleigh City Council to enter into an interlocal agreement that, in conjunction with the law, governs use of the revenues.
The 23rd Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the City and County provided for a total of $23.5 million to be allocated through a competitive process in late 2025 to support capital projects. The amendment required that $15.5 million of the funding awarded be jointly approved by the Board of Commissioners and Raleigh City Council, with the remaining $8 million to be awarded exclusively by vote of the Board of Commissioners.
In September 2025, the County published a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit capital projects for arts, sports, cultural, and convention facilities in Wake County. The applications were due November 6, 2025 and 22 projects requesting a total of $75.7 million were received. A panel including representatives from the City of Raleigh, Wake County, Wake County municipalities, and community stakeholder groups evaluated and scored the applications, and developed funding recommendations for consideration by the Board of Commissioners and the City Council.

MATTERS SCHEDULED FOR PUBLIC HEARING

J.1

Unfit for Human Habitation

Bryce Abernethy, Housing and Community Development, Code Enforcement Division

.

A hearing to consider the adoption of an ordinance prohibiting occupancy of the unfit dwelling until repaired to comply with the requirements of the Housing Code and pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.6.12 of the Code of the City of Raleigh.

.

The property located at 700 Cooper Road is currently vacant and unsecured. Following multiple complaints, an inspection revealed extensive housing code violations, including broken windows, deteriorated exterior elements, and unsanitary conditions throughout the dwelling as well as no operational HVAC. The kitchen and bathroom are in a state of disrepair and deemed unusable. Inspections were completed with an administrative warrant and due to the number of heirs involved with this property, all correspondence were also publicly advertised. To date, no repairs have been initiated, and no permits have been requested. In response, staff will recommend that Raleigh City Council adopt an Unfit for Human Habitation Ordinance, which will authorize securing of the property.

.

700 Cooper Rd (C)

—

Recommended Action: Conduct the public hearing and adopt an ordinance prohibiting occupancy until repairs of unfit building

J.2

Unfit for Human Habitation 90 Days Repair/Demolish

Bryce Abernethy, Housing and Community Development, Code Enforcement Division
.
A hearing to adopt an ordinance authorizing the demolition of the unfit buildings as listed below and pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.6.8D of the City Code if the repairs necessary to render the dwellings fit for human habitation are not completed within ninety (90) days:
.
Responding to a complaint about animals getting into 3028 Olde Birch Dr, staff completed an exterior inspection and identified several areas of concern and neglect on the exterior of the dwelling. After no response from the owner, staff completed an interior housing inspection with assistance of an administrative warrant on June 6, 2024. During our inspection, additional evidence of neglect on the interior and water damage, a result of a leaking roof and rotten exterior elements were identified. There has been no repair, and the home continues to show increasing signs of neglect. The Unified Development Ordinance directs staff to request from Raleigh City Council the adoption of a 90 Day Repair or Demolish Ordinance. This will give the property owner 90 days to work towards completion of this project to avoid any demolition action.
.

—

Recommended Action: Conduct the public hearing and adopt an ordinance to authorize demolition of the unfit for human habitation dwelling if repairs are not completed within ninety (90) days.

J.3

Public Nuisance Abatement – Property Liens

Bryce Abernethy, Housing and Community Development
.
The Housing and Community Development Code Enforcement Division is charged with enforcing the Health, Sanitation, and Public Nuisance Code. Common violations include concentration of grass over 8”; addressing areas that may create or harbor rodents; bushes and overgrowth growing into the street or sidewalks; as well as any concentration of trash, appliances, household items or junk and litter on the property.
