Several additional routine consent-calendar items and minutes approval motions also passed by voice vote at the start of the meeting.
Why it matters: The approvals move capital projects, maintenance work and property transactions forward and schedule public hearings on leases and bond issuances that will require further public input.
Next steps: Staff will execute agreements, post public‑hearing notices, and proceed with bid letting and project scheduling as authorized by the council.
