Other items passed on the consent agenda included copier leases, vehicle purchases and various school budget amendments; the full transcript lists each resolution and vote.
Why it matters: the grant and budget amendments change departmental resources and require county fund balance for matching; the Howard Field restriction alters allowable uses for a public parcel and will require a matching action by Mount Pleasant’s council. The GMP increase for the extension services building was the only item with recorded opposition (one nay).
