Votes at a glance: Sept. 30 Glendale council approved several routine items and waivers
Summary
On Sept. 30 the Glendale City Council approved several consent and action items including a conflict‑waiver authorization for Holland & Hart LLP, standardization and purchases for Ferno gurneys used by Glendale Fire Department, and selection of a voting delegate for the League of California Cities conference.
At its Sept. 30 meeting the Glendale City Council approved a number of routine and narrowly scoped actions by roll call with little extended debate. Highlights:
• Holland & Hart LLP conflict‑of‑interest waiver (Item 4G): Council authorized the city attorney to consent to the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) executing a conflict‑of‑interest waiver for Holland & Hart LLP for an unrelated matter and to permit future related waivers subject to the city attorney’s approval. A public speaker expressed concern about blanket waivers for future, unspecified matters; city staff said the waivers apply only to unrelated SCPPA transactions and the city attorney would retain approval authority.
• Ferno gurney standardization (Action item): The council approved standardization of specialized gurney equipment (Ferno) for Glendale Fire Department use and authorized purchases and maintenance supplies to support the existing fleet and in‑house technician repairs.
• League of California Cities delegate (Action item): Council designated a voting delegate and alternate for the 2025 League of California Cities conference (the motion named Councilmember Kasakhian as voting delegate and Councilmember Ossetorian as alternate).
These items were approved on the consent calendar or by single motions and roll‑call votes; staff said approvals aim to reduce administrative overhead and maintain continuity of operations.
