The Lafayette City Council took a series of routine approvals by voice vote during the meeting.
Minutes: The council approved the minutes from the previous meeting; the transcript records one abstention and otherwise affirmative “aye” votes.
Surplus vehicles: Dave Payne, purchasing manager, asked the council to declare six police vehicles surplus so they can be traded in on an upcoming vehicle purchase. Vehicle city ID numbers presented were 11-183, 11-203, 13-226, 16-13 and 16-14. The council moved, seconded and approved the declaration by voice vote.
Claims: Jeremy Deal, city controller, presented claims totaling $4,835,148.23 for the council’s approval. Councilmembers asked a question about a large utility bill and a land acquisition item; Deal confirmed the large utility item was for a single month for a large facility and that the land acquisition was paid for from surface area 11b infrastructure funds. The council approved the claims by voice vote.
Banner requests and proclamation: The council approved three banner requests (two for Joyful Journey events, including one later in October, and one for the Long Center). Mayor Tony Roswarski read and presented a proclamation recognizing the U.S. Army Reserve’s 100th birthday observance request from the Department at the State of Indiana; the proclamation was accepted by the council.
All listed items were approved by voice vote; the transcript records “aye” responses but does not provide a roll-call tally for each motion.
