Votes at a glance: consent calendar, warrants list and FY 2025–26 budget approved
Summary
Council approved the consent calendar of contracts and program authorizations, later accepted the warrants list for May 2025, and adopted the FY 2025–26 budget. All recorded votes were unanimous (5–0).
The Half Moon Bay City Council recorded multiple formal votes during its June 17 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Consent calendar: The council adopted the consent calendar by roll call (5–0). The consent calendar included multiple resolutions authorizing the city manager to execute professional services and program agreements, among them agreements for building plan‑check and inspection services with 4 Leaf Inc. (not to exceed $365,250), contract planning services with Metropolitan Planning Group (not to exceed $145,000), portable toilet services, median maintenance, tree trimming/removal services, janitorial services, and program services for coastal cleanup. The consent motion passed on a roll call with Councilmembers Johnson, Nagingast, Penrose, Vice Mayor Ruddick and Mayor Brownstone voting “yes.”
- Warrants list (May 2025): Councilmember Johnson asked that the warrants list be pulled for review; after staff explained a number of items (for example payments for project planning, Opportunity Center service contracts, and utilities), the council voted to accept the warrants list for May 2025 (motion carried, roll call vote recorded as unanimous).
- FY 2025–26 budget and related resolutions: The council adopted a resolution establishing the Gann appropriation limit for FY 2025–26, approved the city’s investment policy review and adopted the FY 2025–26 annual operating and capital budget (5–0). See separate coverage for budget details.
Voting records and procedure: Roll call votes were recorded verbally during the meeting. In each recorded vote above, the five seated members on June 17 voted “yes.” Where a motion’s mover or seconder was not verbally identified in the transcript, the motion is recorded here as “not specified.”
Why it matters: The consent calendar authorizations allow city staff to execute contracts needed for building and maintenance services and community programs. The warrants acceptance is an audit/oversight step showing the city’s monthly payments, and budget adoption sets the fiscal and program priorities for the new fiscal year.
