Council approves Richneck Elementary archery program, vote 7-0
Summary
The Newport News City Council approved a proposal for the Richneck Elementary School archery program during the May 13 work session; the motion carried unanimously 7-0.
The Newport News City Council voted unanimously at the May 13 work session to approve the Richneck Elementary School archery program.
Council took the roll call after a motion to move the item. The clerk recorded votes from the seven council members present: Councilman Coleman, Councilman Ealy, Councilman Harris, Mayor Jones, Councilman Long, Councilwoman Vick and Vice Mayor Bethany; the motion carried 7-0.
Council members then discussed the logistics of circulating signatures related to council contingency support and microgrants. Vice Mayor Bethany said signatures will be circulated for current requests and that the mayor will read the items at the next council meeting; council will vote on those contingency awards at a subsequent meeting.
The vote on the Richneck Elementary item was taken at the work session; council did not attach additional conditions in the recorded discussion. A member of staff later asked about the cost of the archery program; that amount was not specified on the public record during the work session.
