The Batavia City Council on April 7 approved its consent agenda by roll call and separately adopted an amendment to the zoning code clarifying ambulance service in industrial zones.

The consent agenda — which the council moved, seconded and approved as read — included acceptance and filing of minutes (Committee of the Whole, Plan Commission and Historic Preservation Commission), approval of payroll ($1,058,371.12) and the accounts payable check register ($3,530,277.82), several ordinance and resolution items, authorization to sell municipally owned real estate west of 1202 S. Van Buren Street, and approval of a 1-year renewable janitorial services contract with Bravo Services Inc. of Mount Prospect, Illinois. The council also approved two late-night class A liquor licenses: Overflow Management Group LLC (doing business as Overflow Manager) and RP3 Group LLC (doing business as Riverside Pizza and Pub). The full consent agenda passed by roll call, recorded as 14 yes, 0 no, none absent.

Separately, the council considered Ordinance 2025-522, an amendment to Chapter 2.6 of the zoning code to clarify provisions for ambulance service uses in industrial areas. The ordinance was moved and seconded and passed on roll call with a tally recorded in the meeting as 13 yes, 1 abstain. The abstention was recorded but not tied to a specific speaker in the roll-call summary.

Why it matters: the consent agenda completes routine city business including payroll, vendor payments and contracts that fund day-to-day services. The zoning text amendment clarifies where ambulance services may locate within industrial zoning, which could affect future siting decisions for emergency medical providers and related land-use permitting in Batavia.

What the record shows and what it does not
- The transcript records the ordinance and resolution numbers and the vote tallies given above. The meeting recording did not attach a named mover for each recorded roll-call vote in every instance; where the transcript did not name the mover, this article lists the mover as not specified rather than attributing it to an individual. The abstention on the zoning amendment is recorded in the roll call but not explicitly tied to a named councilmember in the transcript.
