Votes at a glance: Peoria council approves minutes, consent agenda and appointments; liquor application withdrawn
Summary
Council approved minutes and a full consent agenda unanimously, confirmed numerous appointments and reappointments, and noted a liquor-license application was withdrawn prior to a vote.
At the June 24 Peoria City Council meeting the body took several procedural and consent votes, approving minutes, a lengthy consent agenda and multiple appointments and reappointments.
Council member Riggenbach moved to approve the minutes of the June 10 joint meeting; Council member Jackson seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The clerk then read a multi-item consent agenda that included requests ranging from insurance renewals to capital contracts, license and special-use approvals, and dozens of board and commission appointments and reappointments.
Key consent items read into the record included: - 25-152: Renewal of property and commercial auto insurance coverages with Liberty Mutual Insurance through Alliant Insurance Services, 1-year term not to exceed $673,191. - 25-153: Purchase of 57 Armor Express ballistic vests and accessories, $98,610. - 25-154: Contract award to JC Dillon Inc. for storm-water outfall repairs, $902,535.05, plus $90,254.95 contingency (total $992,790). - 25-155: Contract with Resource Management Associates for police promotional examinations, $117,580. - 25-156: Settlement with United Fellowship Ministries for demolition of the church at 231 S. Saratoga. - 25-158 through 25-161: Several planning, liquor and special-use items (short-term rental at 116 W. Beverly Court; family care facility special use at 2119 NE Street; Jonas 101 Oyster Bar site application contingent on certificate of occupancy). - 25-161 through 25-185: Numerous mayoral reappointments and appointments to boards and commissions across city government (CDBG advisory, construction commission, downtown advisory, Peoria Civic Center Authority Board, library trustees, and many others).
Council member Cyr moved to approve the consent agenda; Council member Allen seconded. The council voted to adopt the consent agenda unanimously.
Separately, a liquor-license application for Empire Lounge LLC at 3033 N. Sterling (item 251-8188) was on the regular agenda with a Liquor Commission recommendation to deny; the applicant withdrew the request, so the clerk noted no council vote was necessary.
Later in the meeting the council moved, and unanimously approved, a motion to adjourn and convene in closed session under the Open Meetings Act to discuss personnel and pending litigation matters.
Motions recorded in these items were unanimously approved unless otherwise noted in the full meeting record.
