The Yuma City Council approved its motion consent agenda and adopted two resolutions and two ordinances at the March 19 regular meeting.
Council moved to approve the motion consent agenda (seven items) on a motion by Council member Morales with a second from Deputy Mayor Smith; the mayor announced the motion carried after an aye vote. The meeting record did not list the seven consent items by ordinance or resolution number in the public transcript.
The council then adopted Resolution R2025‑025, an intergovernmental agreement for Arizona Smart Funding supporting the Yuma Multimodal Transportation Center, on a motion by Council member Morris and a second by Council member Watts. A roll‑call vote recorded Council member Martinez, Council member Morris, Council member McClendon, Deputy Mayor Smith, Council member Morales, Council member Watts and Mayor Douglas J. Nichols as voting “Aye.” The mayor announced the resolution adopted.
The council adopted Resolution R2025‑024, a pre‑annexation development agreement with Nextgen Properties LLC, on a motion by Deputy Mayor Smith and a second by Council member McClendon. Roll‑call votes recorded all present council members as voting “Aye.”
Two ordinances were adopted individually.
