2026.09.22 Town Council Meeting

The Town of Apex held a Town Council meeting on September 22, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. A significant agenda item was a public hearing and subsequent unanimous approval of a $16 million limited obligation bond issuance to fund various capital projects, including renovations to Town Hall and the Salem Streetscape project. The bond would be repaid over 20 years using the community investment fund without increasing the existing tax rate. Another key procurement-related topic was the proposed ordinance amendment to discontinue grass clipping collection as part of the yard waste program due to disposal capacity challenges and lack of long-term contracts with processors. The council voted 4-1 to continue consideration of this amendment until November 10, 2026, directing staff to prepare a consolidated report on financial and operational impacts. Additionally, the council approved a rezoning case to facilitate the buildout of phase three of the Apex Light industrial project, allowing an additional 30,000 square feet of development. The meeting also featured multiple proclamations and public forum comments, including concerns about automated license plate reader contracts and surveillance technology. Overall, the meeting focused on capital financing, zoning approvals, and solid waste service adjustments with implications for future procurement and vendor engagements.
