The Auburn City Council at its Jan. 7 meeting approved routine business on a series of motions including the minutes from the Committee of the Whole meeting held Dec. 17, 2024, the consent agenda, and a change order for a fire department apparatus.
Councilmembers voted to approve the Dec. 17 Committee of the Whole minutes after a motion and second; the minutes were recorded as approved. The council also approved the consent agenda after discussion and a separate commendation for Jack Studell, Auburn University Student Government Association director of city relations, was read and included with council remarks.
Separately, the council adopted a resolution formally recognizing the Auburn High School girls cross country team as the 2024 Class 7A state champions. The resolution names players and coaches and states it was "adopted and approved by the City Council of the City of Auburn on the 7th day of January 2025." The council presented the resolution as part of mayoral remarks honoring the team's achievement.
On a separate motions item, the council authorized a change order with Emergency Equipment Professionals Inc. for a Pierce Custom Enforcer tiller truck in the amount of $14,183. Staff told the council they now anticipate delivery around August 2025, earlier than a previously stated January 2026 estimate. The motion to approve the change order carried.
No contentious policy votes or controversial roll-call debates were recorded in the transcript for these items; several items were passed by general consent following motions and seconds.
