Saint Charles council approves omnibus motion and then adjourns to executive session
Summary
On Feb. 18 the Saint Charles City Council approved an omnibus motion by voice roll call and later voted to adjourn into executive session; both motions were adopted by recorded roll calls.
Alderman Bezner moved and Alderman Lencioni seconded a motion to approve the council’s omnibus vote at the Feb. 18 Saint Charles City Council meeting; the motion passed on a roll call.
The motion was introduced as: “Motion to approve the omnibus vote.” Nance (clerk) was asked to call the roll. Recorded responses in the transcript show the following council members voting “Yes”: Bessner, Weber, Wilkiewicz, Vogt, Vanguard, Munn, Lencioni and Kem. The clerk announced the motion carried.
Later in the meeting a motion to adjourn was moved, seconded by Warhol and Lencione, and the council again approved by roll call. The transcript records affirmative votes from council members including Spencer, Weber, Locatus, Spoke, Snager, Munn and Lencioni.
No substantive details about the items included in the omnibus vote were discussed on the meeting record provided; the omnibus motion was recorded and approved by roll call without additional public debate in the transcript excerpt. The council then indicated it would hold an executive session that evening.
Why it matters: Omnibus votes bundle routine and related items into a single motion for efficiency. The transcript does not list the specific items contained in the omnibus package during the excerpt provided; those items, and any associated votes, must be checked in the official minutes or agenda packet for complete details.
