Votes at a glance: White Plains Common Council, Jan. 6, 2025
The White Plains Common Council recorded several formal roll‑call actions Jan. 6. Key outcomes below reflect the record as read into the minutes.

- Consent agenda adopted: The council offered and approved a consent agenda covering items 1–7, 9–36 and 50–52. The consent motion included first readings of ordinances, appointments and reappointments, grant and contract authorizations, budget and capital project amendments (including the electric garbage truck and intergenerational center study), and other routine matters. Roll call recorded unanimous approval.

- Substitute item 17 with 17s: The council substituted item 17 with item 17s (a communication dated 12/30/2024 from the director of the White Plains 3 Housing Development Fund Corporation requesting an ordinance regarding a tax abatement agreement). The substitution was seconded and approved by roll call (unanimous yes).

- Tabled items 37–49: The council moved to table agenda items 37–49 related to the Hindu Temple of Tri‑State; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call (unanimous yes).

Roll‑call participants were recorded in the minutes and the meeting transcript shows the following council members voting "yes" on these roll calls: Council President Victoria Free Presser; Councilmen Justin Brash, Frye Pearson, John Martin, Payne; Councilwoman Pooja; and Mayor Roach (presiding). The record does not show any recorded "no," "abstain" or recusals for those roll calls.

Notes: Individual items from the consent agenda that drew separate discussion—such as the leaf blower ordinance, intergenerational center study, electric vehicle procurement, and affordable housing authorizations—were still included in the consent roll call and adopted together. The council documented appointments and reappointments to many boards and commissions in the consent agenda.
