Summary
Alderman Cleave sponsored Bill 5279, an ordinance authorizing execution of a legal services agreement related to aqueous film‑forming foam (AFFF) product liability litigation; the ordinance was introduced and read but not debated or voted on at the April 15 meeting.
Alderman Cleave sponsored Bill 5279, an ordinance “of the city of Pacific, Missouri authorizing execution of the legal services agreement related to the AFFF product liability litigation,” and asked the clerk to read the bill into the record. There was no substantive discussion recorded and no vote on the ordinance at the April 15 meeting.
Why it matters: The ordinance would authorize the city to enter a legal services agreement connected to litigation over AFFF (aqueous film‑forming foam) product liability. The city took no formal action beyond introduction and reading at this meeting; further committee consideration or a subsequent vote will be required before the city executes any agreement.
Quotes: “I'll sponsor that,” Alderman Cleave said when asked for a sponsor for Bill 5279.
Ending: Bill 5279 was introduced and read; aldermen did not debate or vote on the ordinance on April 15, so its status remains pending.
