Votes at a glance: council waives readings and adopts five resolutions; one item tabled
Summary
The Tonawanda Common Council waived readings for several agenda items and adopted resolutions 1,2,3,5,6 and 7. Resolution 4 (direct sale) was tabled because the sale notice had not been published for three consecutive weeks.
The council handled the meeting’s consent and resolutions efficiently, waiving readings on several items and adopting multiple resolutions. Key outcomes:
- Motion to waive readings of resolutions 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7: motion made by Councilmember Rautenstra (mover) and passed by roll call. Recorded affirmatives were Teasley, Fisher, Rautenstra, Milam and Cook; the clerk declared the readings waived.
- Resolution 1 (minutes): Sponsored by Councilmember Sheasley. Motion to adopt carried on roll call; the clerk recorded the vote as adopted.
- Resolution 2: Sponsored by Councilmember Milam; seconded by Councilmember Sheasley. Adopted by roll call.
- Resolution 3: Sponsored by Councilmember Ron Stroud; seconded by councilor (unspecified). Adopted by roll call.
- Resolution 5: Adopted (sponsor listed as council); council recorded an affirmative roll call.
- Resolution 6: Sponsored by Councilmember Milam; adopted on roll call.
- Resolution 7: Sponsored by Councilmember Fisher; adopted on roll call.
- Resolution 4 (direct sale of 445 Ellicott): TABLED. The council voted to table Resolution 4 after staff confirmed the sale notice had been published only once rather than in the three consecutive weeks required; the clerk will republish the notice and public hearing and return the item to a future agenda.
Votes were taken by roll call; the clerk declared each adopted resolution carried. The meeting record shows roll‑call “ayes” for the adopted resolutions when called by the clerk; no recorded “no” votes were made public in the roll calls shown in the meeting transcript.
