Votes at a glance: consent calendar, CMFA bond resolution and Sandpiper tentative map approved
Summary
The Indio City Council approved the consent calendar and two public‑hearing items — a TEFRA hearing for CMFA tax‑exempt bonds for the Arroyo Crossings development and a tentative tract map for Sandpiper — all by unanimous vote.
At its Oct. 1 meeting the Indio City Council approved several items by unanimous vote. The following list summarizes the formal actions recorded in the meeting.
• Consent calendar (item 10): The council approved the consent calendar by roll call (motion first by Councilmember Catron; second by Councilmember Furman). The consent vote passed 5–0. The consent calendar included routine administrative and contract items and several pulled items that were discussed on the record prior to the vote.
• Resolution No. 10519 (TEFRA public hearing / CMFA bonds for Arroyo Crossings): The council held a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) public hearing required for tax‑exempt revenue bond issuance by the California Municipal Finance Authority for the Arroyo Crossings residential project and adopted Resolution No. 10519. The public hearing was a required step during the project’s transition from construction to permanent financing. Motion to adopt was made by Councilmember Furman and seconded by Councilmember Ortiz; the vote was unanimous, 5–0. City staff said the action imposes no fiscal impact on the city.

The Planning Commission had recommended approval. The council vote was unanimous, 5–0 (motion and second recorded on the record), and staff noted prior environmental review under the city’s General Plan EIR.
Other items noted on the record: a city staff report and discussion described a change order for IID off‑site power work (item 10.7); staff said the change order is within the existing budget and the item was included on the consent calendar that passed 5–0.
No council votes to reject items were recorded during the meeting.
