Lemoore council approves consent calendar including environmental purchasing policy and planning commissioner appointment

The Lemoore City Council approved the Oct. 7 consent calendar in a single vote, passing routine items by a 3–0 tally with two members absent.

Council member Cruz moved approval of the consent calendar; Council member Brewster seconded the motion. Council member Cruz and Council member Brewster both voted “yes.” Mayor Matthews said, “I vote yes as well.” The mayor declared the motion passed 3 in favor, 2 absent.

The consent calendar items approved were: approval of minutes for the Sept. 16, 2025 regular meeting; closure of the golf course fund to the general fund (amount not specified in the meeting record); approval of Resolution 2025‑33 adopting an environmentally preferable purchasing and practices policy and best management practices for the vehicle and equipment fleet as required for the rubberized pavement grant program; approval of a bid award for water treatment plant chemicals (contract amount not specified); and appointment of a Lemoore planning commissioner.

Council did not pull any consent items for separate consideration, and no further discussion or individual votes were requested by members of the public. The appointments and the resolution will be reflected in the council’s official minutes and in the city’s records.

Motion: Approve consent calendar items 4‑1 through 4‑5. Mover: Council member Cruz. Second: Council member Brewster. Outcome: Approved 3–0; two members absent.
