Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the attached FY2026 contract with the Museum of Durham History. In 2025 and 2026, the Museum of Durham History will continue to enhance the accessibility of local history to the public by increasing our outreach, a major goal in our strategic plan. Funding for this contract will use funds approved in the FY 2025-26 budget.
Documents included with the AAF are the museum's carryover budget request, which seeks an additional $46,900.00 in funding from the county, along with the museum's original budget request and supporting documentation.
