The Montgomery City Council adopted its consent agenda and passed multiple resolutions and license requests unanimously, while holding several items for additional review.
Key approvals: Council voted unanimously to adopt the March 18 work session and regular meeting minutes, adopted multiple business license transfers and new licenses presented by the revenue department, and approved a set of nuisance and public-nuisance resolutions brought by city staff. Several items came to voice vote with "Unanimous" recorded for the council’s adoption.
