During the consent and related agenda items, the Barre City Council approved several routine but consequential items, including volunteer appointments, liquor and event licenses, city warrants and a contract for grant‑writing assistance.

Appointments and resolutions: The council appointed Jamie Bauer to a seat on the Transportation and Public Works Committee (member present for a brief interview) and appointed Sean Warner as the city representative to the CB Fiber Board; council also approved resolution 2025‑15 supporting the Warner appointment, as presented.

Licenses and permits: The clerk presented several event and liquor license requests: a fireworks event by Berry Partnership (July 26), a Turning Point candlelight vigil (Aug. 31), and class‑2 liquor renewals; the council approved the licenses as presented. The clerk noted one license was approved contingent on the applicant providing final documentation to the police chief and the Department of Liquor and Lottery.

Warrants and contracts: The council approved city warrants for the week (week of 7/16/25 and ratification for prior week), with an abstention recorded on the motion (abstaining member not recorded in the roll call transcript). Council also authorized the manager to execute a contract with Eastview Incorporated for grant‑writing services related to CDBG projects.

How the votes were taken: Most of these items were handled as part of the consent agenda and passed by voice vote. Several motions were moved and seconded; the transcript records voice votes of “aye” and occasional “nay” with one abstention noted on the warrants item. No formal roll‑call tallies (by name) were read into the record for the consent motions in the transcript.

Ending: The council wrapped up consent business and moved on to committee items and presentations.
