Votes at a glance: Pierce County Council adopts consent agenda, schedules evening district meeting, and enacts code cleanup ordinance
Summary
At its April 22 meeting the Pierce County Council adopted the consent agenda (7‑0), set an evening district meeting for June 30 (R2025‑138, adopted 6‑0) and adopted a technical code amendment ordinance (O2025‑508, adopted 5‑0).
The Pierce County Council took several routine and scheduling actions on April 22, 2025.
Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda as presented by voice roll call, 7 ayes, 0 nays. The clerk said the consent agenda included two sets of minutes, two resolutions for final action and four grant authorizations; no member requested items be pulled for separate discussion and there were no public comments on the consent items.
Evening district meeting (R2025‑138): The council adopted Resolution R2025‑138 setting District 5’s evening meeting for 6:00 p.m. Monday, June 30, 2025, at the Franklin Pierce Performing Arts Center, 11002 18th Avenue East in Tacoma. Councilmember Yambe moved the resolution; it was seconded (second not named in the record) and adopted 6 ayes, 0 nays in the roll call (one councilmember was temporarily lost from the roll during the vote). The clerk and council staff noted state law and county code require at least one evening meeting in each district annually and asked the clerk to provide proper notice for the time and place.
Code cleanup ordinance (O2025‑508): The council adopted Ordinance O2025‑508, amending portions of Pierce County Code (Title 1 general provisions; Title 2 administration; Title 8 health and welfare; Chapter 13.04 sewer administrative regulations; Chapter 17C.10 administrative provisions for construction codes) to correct errors, oversights and ambiguous references in non‑development code sections. Staff described the changes as technical clarifications with a de minimis fiscal impact; the Economic and Infrastructure Development committee forwarded the ordinance with a do‑pass recommendation. The ordinance passed on roll call with five ayes, 0 nays; one member was excused during the vote.
Votes and roll calls are recorded in the meeting transcript; public hearings on the listed items produced no public testimony.
