2026.11.10 Regular Town Council Meeting

The Town of Apex’s regular Town Council meeting was held November 10, 2026. Council approved two public-art murals: an approximately $8,000 mural for a nature-park structure and a roughly $25,000 mural for the Saunders Street retaining wall. Both approvals followed public review and were adopted by motion; the Saunders Street mural was discussed as an addition to the completed parking-lot project. No competitive bid or RFP award was reported. Council also received an update on the Pleasant Park Access Study, being conducted with CAMPO and BHB Engineering. The study is assessing up to five access alternatives, including emergency access, with planning-level cost estimates and a recommendation expected in 2027; no construction funding or contract award was approved. A rezoning public hearing was continued to January 12, 2027.

Council approved a volunteer technology development task force intended to improve workflows and potentially reduce future software purchases; the sponsor anticipated no direct cost to the Town beyond possible in-kind meeting space. Council also approved appointing Brian Meyers as town attorney and authorized the mayor to sign his employment contract, subject to a fiscal review by the town manager. Separately, staff reported that Apex and Cary are continuing to investigate odor complaints near the Western Wake wastewater facility; the update noted approximately $1.2 million in additional odor-control mechanisms at the facility, with Apex responsible for 34%, but no new spending action was taken. The town’s Flock Safety contract is due to expire January 31, 2027, and remains under committee review, with no decision reported.
