Council approves consent agenda including opioid settlements, lead service engineering contract and workforce housing covenant
Summary
The City Council approved a nine‑item consent agenda that included settlement agreements related to opioid litigation, an engineering services proposal for lead service line replacement, bills and payrolls, and an assignment/amendment to a workforce housing restrictive covenant.
The Ferndale City Council approved the consent agenda, which combined several routine administrative and contractual matters into a single vote.
Items approved (as listed on the agenda): approval of the Aug. 9, 2025 meeting minutes; appointments and reappointments to city boards and commissions; revised council rules of procedure; approval to backfill police command positions; approval of Purdue direct opioid settlement agreement and a secondary manufacturers opioid settlement agreement; approval of a proposal from Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. for engineering services for the lead service line replacement program in an amount not to exceed $70,000; approval of bills and payrolls as submitted by the finance director (subject to finance committee review); and approval of an assignment, assumption and amendment to the workforce housing restrictive covenant for 141 Vester Avenue.
Vote and procedure: A motion to approve the entire consent agenda was made and seconded; council responded “Aye” and the motion carried. One council member (Kelly) had been excused earlier in the meeting. The record indicates the motion carried with those present.
Ending: The council advanced the consent items as a group without separate roll‑call votes for each item. Staff will proceed with the contracts and administrative tasks authorized by the consent vote.
