    Annual Budget Process The City of Durham’s annual budget process is the framework for communicating major financial operational objectives and for allocating resources to achieve them. This process is a complex undertaking involving the whole government. The process begins in October and runs until the end of June. By state law, the City must adopt an annual budget ordinance by June 30 of each year. Coordination of the process is essential to the building of the budget. To achieve coordination, a calendar of activities is summarized on this page. Once the budget is approved, the focus of the budget becomes control. Ongoing monitoring of expenditures and revenues throughout the year is a responsibility shared by department heads and the Budget Department. The Accounting Services Division ensures that changes are correctly entered and payments are appropriate. The Budget and Management Services Department reviews all requests from departments to make sure that sufficient appropriations have been budgeted. All funds are reviewed on a regular basis, and a budget report is submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis. The City Manager has the authority to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any function. However, transfers between functions, additions or deletions require a budget amendment. To amend the budget, a revised budget ordinance must be approved by the City Council. January February March Department budgets submitted Coffees with Council continue. Budget kick-off.

DUKE, SONS & COMPANY by Janet Katelyn Hammond Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of History and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science May, 2018 Approved by: Michael C. Behrent, Ph.D., Thesis Director Katherine E. Ledford, Ph.D., University Honors Second Reader Allison Fredette, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Second Reader Michael C. Behrent, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director Jefford Vahlbusch, Ph.D., Dean, The Honors College Hammond 1 Abstract This essay reveals the themes displayed in the cigarette card series produced at W. Duke, Sons & Co. from 1880 to 1900. The following mainly draws upon the cards themselves, the Duke family’s and the business’s correspondence, and other miscellaneous company notes. Topics covered include: a historiography, a family history, an overview of the cigarette and tobacco industries, late-eighteenth century capitalism and advertising methods, the interworking of the Duke company, and how the cigarette card series reflect all of these components. The overall argument is that the executives of this enterprise cashed in on the taboos of this time period while offering no new perspectives about the existing social hierarchy in the United States.

Barlow Herget and Mike McLaughlin 2 NORTH CAROLINA INSIGHT Local officials-armed with claims of impressive economic impact-are going to bat for professional sports franchises and single-shot sporting events like never before in North Carolina. Even state government has gotten into the act with the establishment of a Sports Development Office in the Department of Economic and Community Development.' But how much impact can sports really have on the economy of a commu- nity? The North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research explores this question and finds that the economic impact of a professional sports franchise or event can be very real. The NBA's Charlotte Hornets, for example, have been a boon to the City of Charlotte, providing substantial economic impact and enhancing the city's image. Minor league sports are more likely to have a minor impact, although they help round out a city's entertainment offerings. Local officials are advised to proceed with caution when negotiating leases with sports franchises or invest- ing funds for stadium construction. is The Charlotte Hornets are a National Basket- her staff were calling on the executive ball Association team and the only major league of an out-of-state company that the city professional sports franchise in the state of North Thewas mayor courting of Charlotte,to relocate Suein Myrick,North Caro- and Carolina.

  • Durham Cultural Master Plan
    Durham Cultural Master Plan Summary August 2004 What You Need to Know about Durham’s Cultural Master Plan Why is Durham’s arts and culture sector a vital asset? - Durham’s cultural organizations and artists add $103 million annually to the economic activity in Durham. That’s a significant boost to our city’s economic development. - Arts and culture is a significant business sector of the current and future Durham. According to a recent state-wide research study on arts economic impact in North Carolina, the average number of non-profit arts and cultural organizations per county in our state is 19. Durham County has more than 150 non-profit arts and cultural organizations, and more than 900 artists. Additionally it has a lively mix of commercial arts and entertainment providers. - A number of Durham’s own cultural assets are known internationally and nationally, including African American Dance Ensemble, American Dance Festival, NCCU Jazz Ensemble, Full Frame Film Festival, The Hayti Heritage Center and its Blues Festival, Durham Arts Council, Mallarmé Chamber Players, and the arts museums of NCCU and Duke. - Ninety percent of respondents to the Durham Cultural Master Plan’s Civic- Community-Business Leaders Survey agreed that arts and culture provide great ways to learn about our various ethnic and racial backgrounds. Ninety-two percent of the survey respondents agreed that “learning art skills is an important way to master other basic skills.” - National studies have proven that arts programs decrease youth delinquency, enhance a child’s development, encourage conflict resolution, build tolerance and self-respect, provide safe havens for youth, reduce criminal activity, teach job skills, improve attitudes, behavior, and academic performance.

  • Interpreting Historic Site Narratives: Duke Homestead on Tour
    INTERPRETING HISTORIC SITE NARRATIVES: DUKE HOMESTEAD ON TOUR Rachel Crockett Kirby A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Program of Folklore in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Bernard L. Herman Marcie Cohen Ferris Gabrielle A. Berlinger © 2016 Rachel Crockett Kirby ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rachel C. Kirby: Interpreting Historic Site Narratives: Duke Homestead on Tour (Under the direction of Bernard L. Herman) This thesis uses Duke Homestead State Historic Site and Tobacco Museum as an ethnographic case study to explore a new vocabulary for understanding the power, politics, and production of historical narratives as communicated on guided walking tours. By examining narratives as they fluctuate along an arc from the scripted, the spoken, and the received, I discuss moments of sense-making, discomfort, and disconnect as they occur on the historic site. I focus on the tours’ inclusion, exclusion, and negotiation of Caroline, a young girl who was owned and enslaved by Washington Duke, through which societal expectations of history can be examined in relation to the desires and goals of those who wrote the tour script. Her story offers an example of narrative discomfort, negotiated through hesitation, elision, and derision within the spoken presentation. Many voices contribute to the construction and perpetuation of historical narratives, and this thesis uses the voices of site employees, interns, volunteers, and visitors to understand the dynamism of place-based history. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As both an undergraduate and graduate student at UNC, I have been supported, guided, and encouraged by countless faculty and graduate students, so I begin my thanks there.
