Council amended an earlier resolution asking NCDOT to evaluate a turbo‑hybrid design for the historic traffic circle using updated 2050 volume projections and delay calculations for the full week (not just weekday peak hours).

Council approved Resolution 26‑39 creating a Public Safety Technology Advisory Committee to provide public oversight and auditing for technologies such as automated license‑plate readers; membership and appointments will be finalized in coming weeks.
