Trail Planning Remains Paused Amid Staffing Gaps

Durham Parks and Recreation reported that no trail planning is currently underway because the department is understaffed; a search for a Principal Planner is in progress, and a trails planner may be added later. The commission also agreed by consensus that minor wording updates to previously approved letters and report cards do not require another approval when their overall message remains unchanged.
