The Washington City Council approved the consent agenda, which included change order No. 1 and a final payment request for the Highway 100 turn lanes project, and later voted to hold a closed meeting under Section 610.021, RSMo., to discuss personnel, legal and real estate matters.
The Washington City Council approved its consent agenda, including change order No. 1 and a final payment request for the Highway 100 turn lanes project, and later voted to hold a closed meeting to discuss personnel, legal and real estate matters.
The consent agenda item was presented as a change order and final payment request for the Highway 100 turn lanes project; a council member moved to approve and the motion was seconded. After a brief exchange confirming who seconded, the mayor called for the vote: “All those in favor, say aye.” Council members responded and the mayor said the motion passed.
Later in the meeting the council voted on whether to hold a closed meeting under Missouri law. The council conducted a public roll-call vote and approved going into executive session “to discuss personnel legal and real estate matters pursuant to Section 610.021, RSMo.” Council members recorded as voting yes in the transcript include Fair, Griggs (Briggs), Coulter and Heydrich.
