Olympia City Council adopts Oct. 21 agenda and consent calendar by voice vote
Summary
At the Oct. 21 meeting the council adopted the evening’s agenda and the consent calendar by voice vote. No roll-call tallies or mover names were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The Olympia City Council adopted the Oct. 21 business-meeting agenda and the consent calendar by voice vote.
After Mayor Payne asked for a motion to adopt the agenda, an unnamed council member moved and another seconded. The meeting record shows the chair asked “All those in favor, signify by saying ‘aye,’” and councilmembers responded aloud; the council then proceeded with the agenda.
Later, with no items pulled for discussion, a councilmember moved to adopt the consent calendar and another seconded. The chair again called for “ayes,” and members replied. The meeting transcript records “Aye” responses and the mayor announced the consent calendar was adopted.
The meeting transcript does not record the names of the specific members who made the motions, nor does it record a roll-call vote or numerical tally for the voice votes. Meeting minutes and the city clerk’s official record may include a formal tally if required by internal practice; the Oct. 21 transcript contains only the voice votes and the chair’s announcements.
