Council approves warrant list and omnibus items unanimously
Summary
The council approved the warrant list and an omnibus motion covering items 1 through 4 by 6-0 votes. The meeting contained discussion about a Fire Department cot system that remained on the omnibus list.
The Highland Park City Council approved its warrant list and an omnibus package of four agenda items by unanimous roll call votes on Oct. 20.
Approval of the warrant list passed on a roll call vote of 6-0. The meeting record shows the vote as: "Council member Senter. Aye. Council member Brockman. Aye. Council member Ross. Aye. Council member Tapia. Aye. Council member Littlewer. Aye. Presiding officer Bloomberg. Aye." The presiding officer announced the warrant list "passes 6 to nothing."
Later the council moved to approve omnibus items 1 through 4. Council members voted by roll call and the package passed 6-0: "Council Member Center. Aye. Council Member Brockman. Aye. Council Member Ross. Aye. Council Member Tapia. Aye. Council Member Littleware. Aye. Presiding officer Bloomberg. Aye. That's 6 ayes and no nays that passes."
Before the omnibus vote, Council member Ross asked for information about a proposed cot system purchase for the Fire Department, noting a reported seven-year lifespan and recall history on some models. Fire/ambulance staff responded that the cots are industry standard in the area, the city already uses them in other ambulances, and the warranty is planned because replacement batteries can cost about $10,000. Staff emphasized the purchase aims to reduce personnel injuries from lifting.
The meeting record does not show any items being pulled from the omnibus list for separate votes.
