Residents urge disaster-preparedness planning and youth workforce support at Durham County work session
Summary
During the June 2 work session, two Durham County residents spoke in the public comment period: James Chavis urged stronger disaster relief readiness and invited county leaders to a press conference, and DeWarren Langley asked the board to support the Charles Hamilton Houston Foundation’s youth workforce efforts.
Two residents used the board’s 30-minute public comment period at the June 2 work session to press county leaders on disaster preparedness and youth workforce development.
James Chavis spoke about disaster relief readiness in Durham County and invited the commissioners and the county manager to attend a planned press conference on the topic. He framed the issue as a county-level readiness concern that merited attention from elected officials and county staff.
DeWarren Langley spoke about workforce readiness among the county’s youth and asked the board to support the Charles Hamilton Houston Foundation’s work on that issue.
The minutes record the comments as part of the public comment period; no formal board action is recorded in the work-session minutes in response to the two speakers.
