Richfield council approves consent calendar including $295,550 engineering work order for 2026 sidewalks
Summary
The Richfield City Council approved its consent calendar, which included a $295,550 work order with Bolton & Menk, a resolution prioritizing 2026 capital budget requests, and designation of precinct polling places for the November 4, 2025 school board election.
The Richfield City Council unanimously approved its consent calendar on July 22, 2025, in a single motion. The consent calendar bundled multiple routine items; council approval meant each listed item passed without separate debate.
Notable items on the consent calendar included a work order for engineering services in the amount of $295,550 with Bolton & Menk, Inc., for 2026 sidewalk projects and a resolution supporting and prioritizing the city’s 2026 capital budget request to the Minnesota Office of Management and Budget. The consent calendar also included a resolution designating polling place locations for Richfield Precinct 8 (Ward 3) and several Edina precincts for the Richfield School Board election on Nov. 4, 2025.
City Manager Katie Rodriguez introduced the consent calendar and explained that once approved, no further council action on the listed items is necessary. Council approved the consent calendar by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes.
Why it matters: The Bolton & Menk work order commits engineering funds for sidewalk planning and design activities for the 2026 construction program, and the capital request resolution signals city priorities to the state budget office. The polling-place designations are administrative steps required ahead of the November school board election.
The council took no separate public comment on the individual consent items.
