Durham council moves recycling grant to consent and adopts consent agenda; all motions unanimous
Summary
The City Council unanimously approved a motion to add a supplemental recycling and waste‑reduction education grant to the consent agenda and then adopted the full consent agenda (items 1–24). The council also approved several individual agenda motions taken during the evening by unanimous vote.
Durham City Council on April 7 unanimously approved several procedural and consent actions, including moving a supplemental environmental education grant ordinance onto the consent agenda and adopting the full consent agenda containing appointments, contracts, annexations and planning items.
At the start of the meeting the council voted to move agenda item 24 — an ordinance concerning a community recycling and waste‑reduction education grant from the Department of Environmental Quality — onto the consent agenda. The motion passed unanimously.
The council then adopted the consent agenda as printed. The consent package included 24 items ranging from board appointments to contracts for vehicle‑electrification equipment and building renovation change orders; staff presented the consent list and the council approved it by unanimous vote.
Separately, the council approved the amendment to the municipal code governing water and sewer connections (item 5) following public comment, and later approved substantial amendments to the Consolidated Plan and annual action plans to reallocate CDBG and HOPWA funds after a public hearing. Each of those motions passed unanimously.
Votes recorded during the meeting were unanimous across the board; the council did not record any no votes, abstentions or recusals in the public roll calls taken at the times of these motions.
