Council approves consent calendar and department updates; finance update pulled and passed separately
Summary
The council approved multiple routine consent items including meeting minutes and department updates. Item 4-5 (finance department update) was considered and approved separately; both votes passed unanimously 5-0.
The Lemoore City Council approved routine items on the Jan. 21 consent calendar.
Items 4-1 through 4-4 — approval of minutes from the Jan. 7 regular meeting and department updates for December 2024 from the police, building and fire departments — were approved in a single motion. Councilmember Brewster moved the motion; Mayor Pro Tem Gornick seconded. The vote was recorded as 5-0 in favor.
Item 4-5 (finance department update, December 2024) was discussed separately after a question from Councilmember Brewster about federal fund expenditures and audit selection. City staff explained external audits sample funds randomly and described changes to allowable uses of certain COVID-relief funds. The council then voted to approve item 4-5; the motion passed 5-0.
Why it matters: consent-calendar approvals finalize routine minutes and departmental monthly updates and allow the council to move to public hearings and other business. A council member’s question led to a staff commitment to review specific federal fund items if flagged.
