Votes at a glance: La Conner council actions on Resolution 661, consent agenda and banner request
Summary
At the meeting the council approved Resolution 661 on preventing nuclear war, approved the consent agenda, and approved a Friends of Bigfoot banner for late August–mid September; votes were carried by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.
The La Conner Town Council recorded three formal voice-vote approvals during the meeting:
1) Resolution 661 — Global effort to prevent nuclear war: Councilmember Carlson moved to approve Resolution 661; Councilmember Wallop seconded. The chair called for the vote and the motion carried by voice vote. Presenters from local and statewide advocacy groups had urged the council to endorse the Back from the Brink platform and related policy goals.
2) Consent agenda: Councilmember Taylor moved to approve the consent agenda; Councilmember Carlson seconded. The council approved the consent agenda by voice vote; the individual consent items were not read aloud in the transcript and are in the meeting packet.
3) Banner approval — Friends of Bigfoot contest: A motion to permit the Friends of Bigfoot contest banner to be displayed beginning the week of Aug. 25 and removed Sept. 13, with a condition that the applicant put event dates on the banner, passed by voice vote. Public Works is responsible for installation and removal; the council required event dates to appear on the banner so other applicants and staff can coordinate scheduling.
Notes: The meeting transcript records the motions and that each motion "carried," but it does not include roll-call tallies for yes/no votes. Where the transcript names movers and seconders, those names are included above.
