Votes at a glance: Tuttle council approves consent items, liquor store relocation, elevator maintenance and planning contract
Summary
The City Council approved the consent docket (with payroll/claims taken separately), a special-use review for a liquor store relocation, an elevator maintenance agreement, a comprehensive-plan contract and a street-project resolution. One councilmember registered a dissent on payroll and claims payment that included a vendor the member opposed.
Here is a summary of formal actions taken during the City of Tuttle meeting.
- Consent docket (items 4a–d, 4f–g): Council approved the listed consent items in a single vote. Motion recorded; item passed on a roll call vote in favor by the members present.
- Payroll and claims (item 4e): Council moved and approved receipt of payroll and claims in a separate vote after a request to consider it separately. The motion passed on a roll call vote; a councilmember stated they would vote no while the Cowen Group remained listed as a paid vendor, and the minutes reflect at least one recorded "no" from an unnamed councilmember while other members voted yes.
- Haneywine (special-use review PC-2025-15) (item 7a): Council approved a use-on-review for a liquor store to relocate to 2418 Highway 37 following a 4–0 recommendation from the Planning Commission; the council vote approved the move.
- Elevator maintenance (item 8a): Council approved a quarterly full maintenance agreement with American Elevator for City Hall elevator service at an annual cost of $3,852 (approximately $321 per month) and directed staff to execute the agreement.
- Comprehensive plan contract (item 8b): Council approved an agreement with Verdunity for comprehensive plan development at a cost not to exceed $154,480 (see separate article for details).
- Municipal Road & Bridge/MRDF project resolution (item 9a): Council approved resolution 2025-07 and authorized staff to submit the project application to ODOT's municipal road/drilling activity fund for the proposed street project area.
- Total Development Authority (TDA) and Total Public Works Authority (TPWA) consent items: Both boards approved their respective consent dockets during the same meeting with unanimous recorded votes.
- Executive session motion: Council voted to enter an executive session following a five-minute break; the motion passed on a recorded vote.
Votes recorded in the meeting packet and roll call indicated affirmative votes from Trustee/Council members labeled in roll call as Mister Seay, Mister Hughes, Mister Watson and Mayor McLaRoy for the items approved. Where the transcript referenced an expressed "no" (payroll/claims over Cowen Group payments), the speaker was not identified by name in the audio transcript excerpt provided to the clerk; the roll call shows the motion nevertheless passed.
