Joiner said the fire commission has received the county's proposed budget and will forward it to the Wake County Board of Commissioners; that proposed budget includes a 1.5¢ fire tax increase, Joiner said. He also reported that a new ladder truck underwent inspection in Florida and that arrangements were being made for a second inspection. Joiner said another new fire truck is on the way.

Joiner described a live-burn training held recently on Eagle Rock Road that involved four Wendell firefighters and about a dozen recruits from the Wake County Fire Academy, along with multiple local departments. He characterized the exercise as a good training opportunity for personnel who will serve in the community.

The board took no formal action on the update; the report was delivered during the \"board committee members\" portion of the agenda.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wendell Board Meeting - March 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioner Joiner reported that the Wendell Volunteer Fire Department briefed the fire commission on Wake County's budget process, including a proposed 1.5¢ fire tax increase; the department also had a ladder-truck inspection and participated in a live-burn training with Wake County fire academy recruits.","taxTitle","Wendell, Wake County, North Carolina","taxId",46442,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6289327,"Wendell proclaims March 2025 as Creek Week to boost stormwater education and cleanup",178,1272000,1450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2532443-09db7c70408620eb1af910407676a1bd&start=1272&end=1450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2532443-09db7c70408620eb1af910407676a1bd/thumbnail_1272000.jpg","/articles/6289327/Wendell/Wake-County/North-Carolina/Wendell-proclaims-March-2025-as-Creek-Week-to-boost-stormwater-education-and-cleanup","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6289327-d96663cb30189ab5ec3aaf8903a36bf0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151754&Signature=i15V1toNG6rBdBeuJAqombifKEbXhnOMB8Y4Jcz9QkXS0uSdqE-XnzoV2Pc0Ab~DL7d23s0q94SFypqaSneeYx7MVB47KKlIowh0WyOg3BoDSxX4NpIDvZYQL8pZfOfaAHTK46EV5~GNaOc7oJmQgH4wkQzdx6aTW5dF6wCDtOXf6ztXPjhgnssa0Lg0TT8WqofOkvx-BDu8gjFa4-hB-rTwo6VYK05bMMis~tXJQD2-snbxjMxVsyljLfb3eV3FwebMiqMgGmVv3L8n5HjcpdC9om7kt9djquNbPksXjBRIEKpswPTmQCfhb~~N0v0dyCmSWoYZLtuVwc1bJ9fkvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wendell Town Board of Commissioners on March 10 adopted a proclamation designating the week of March 2025 as Creek Week to promote water-quality education, conservation and community cleanup activities.

Town presenter Darby Bishop said Creek Week supports the town's responsibilities under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit and advances required public education and outreach. Planned activities this year include a litter sweep at Little River in cooperation with East Wake High School and a cleanup on town-owned property at the end of Selmer Road and Wendell Boulevard with help from the Rotary Club. Organizers also noted a regional virtual BioBlitz/BioThon event with a Bingo-style participation option.

The proclamation text, read at the meeting, states the town recognizes clean waterways as essential to community health and economic stability and formally designates the week of March 2025 as Creek Week in Wendell; the proclamation was dated and signed March 10, 2025. The town encouraged citizen participation in the listed events and educational opportunities.

The board did not take any regulatory action as part of the proclamation; the item was a formal recognition and outreach effort tied to the town's stormwater permit obligations.","The board proclaimed the week of March 2025 as Creek Week in Wendell to promote water-quality education and to coordinate cleanups and student and Rotary Club participation in local litter sweeps.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6289334,"Wendell approves updated fire-inspection agreement with Wake County",73,1695000,1768000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2532443-09db7c70408620eb1af910407676a1bd&start=1695&end=1768","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2532443-09db7c70408620eb1af910407676a1bd/thumbnail_1695000.jpg","/articles/6289334/Wendell/Wake-County/North-Carolina/Wendell-approves-updated-fire-inspection-agreement-with-Wake-County","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6289334-8ae745cef9e4d9bf5b9d14bece052ab7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151754&Signature=eTtsdbGkCAsHas8b8v9qTYlx~0Vlj4DIvGAktTQtQJYMRmeVbbClzd4QGLfspr1KOAwWqwk3K-aOQP1xG9ROJHdo24pkjHllinngpCgmwNxGQp9MCcXMM~2duFJNve-nTtA04KQrRC~UNf8n9KwYLLQ3EY1IjKtZX~yj8kdInmjr4Hb-7asC647GKKBVAHqAEkZEwTdojLfcCuiLMGZIvXEXUMwcojdpVr~KQ4~03fk9sltIA1aHTpqFK4208JnFCgw2SUai0O4gPr7lLtkU7LNXbMEFmFCns4TguMirkpdtOQ~aco~Rg-AbI3x7W7giu5UsPW9h~3MpZXBX7SXlzw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wendell Town Board of Commissioners on March 10 approved an updated fire-inspection agreement with Wake County Fire & Emergency Management and authorized the town manager to sign.

Town staff said the update does not change the inspection rates charged to the town but adjusts the timing and averaging of payments to use a three-year rolling average, which spreads fluctuations over time. The change reflects Wake County's request to revise how payments are calculated and collected.

The interlocal arrangement allows Wake County to provide inspection services to municipalities in the county; North Carolina law permits a town to provide its own inspections or contract with another governmental agency. At the meeting the town manager described the update as a timing change only, with no rate increase. Commissioner Joiner moved approval; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

The board recorded no further changes to inspection responsibilities or service levels. The town manager was authorized to execute the agreement on the town's behalf.","The board approved an updated interlocal agreement with Wake County Fire & Emergency Management that changes payment timing to a three-year average but keeps inspection rates the same; the town manager was authorized to sign.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6289337,"Wendell Board tables West End Mixed Use annexation request at applicants' request",66,1609000,1675000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2532443-09db7c70408620eb1af910407676a1bd&start=1609&end=1675","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2532443-09db7c70408620eb1af910407676a1bd/thumbnail_1609000.jpg","/articles/6289337/Wendell/Wake-County/North-Carolina/Wendell-Board-tables-West-End-Mixed-Use-annexation-request-at-applicants-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6289337-590ab48983e9ec809bc5612a1620e02f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151754&Signature=BmBjHI8eXlrf0B6-huGYmi1t6Ee1aRJjqY3Fo7sRFDgzfZYqDgJHWxN9LKcS5dlzet5ayvsaEywreY5hW9b7bgzlAYoy7PnBSF7NeS6NkilK2glXj6JxRvZl1UIbjeFFSUuBR0RtH9tmLT~oH~Eweha2bd0pTUxfhB76UXaY5ryFw~Yoy0nRffsgqBTC7yJPAuBmppYjrgm1J4sJKCHuELzwL1UB--GX1hLcXfXyX4WOtfreTGjSS~FVXqd7T500ya9DU60mQy8ykBShfAXQPtYdCXF~WhnZsY70k1mJ0eFqvJstOd2Bogzd1u1LlrTXSLVHvvvsjdUXU2oXlzuHpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wendell Town Board of Commissioners on March 10 voted to table a public hearing and consideration of an annexation and conditional rezoning for about 41.43 acres proposed as the West End Mixed Use Development.

The item covered property identified as 0 and 1812 Wendell Falls Parkway and 40405 Richardson Farm Lane on the north side of Wendell Falls Parkway between Poole Road and Martin Pond Road. The applicant requested that the public hearing be postponed and that the town re-notify neighboring property owners and satisfy legal notice requirements before returning the item to the board, Town staff said.

Town staff described the proposal as an application to change the parcels from rural agricultural to Neighborhood Center Conditional District to allow the mixed-use project. No new date for the public hearing was set at the March 10 meeting. Commissioner Joiner moved to table the item; the board approved the motion by voice vote.

Because the applicant requested postponement, the board took no substantive action on zoning, development standards, or conditions for the proposed West End Mixed Use Development. When the applicant resubmits and the town completes required notifications, the board will reopen the public hearing and consider rezoning and annexation and any related conditions or agreements.

Meeting context: the board raised no new policy decisions or conditions at the March 10 meeting and recorded the applicant's request to reschedule. The town's planning staff will handle re-notification and statutory hearing requirements before the matter returns to the board.","The Wendell Town Board of Commissioners voted to table a public hearing and decision on a proposed annexation and rezoning for the West End Mixed Use Development after the applicant asked to reschedule; staff will re-notify neighbors and follow statutory notice requirements.","actionData","errors"]
