The council approved the consent agenda by roll call, clearing multiple warrant payments, contract awards for public works and treatment plant projects, a $8,400 dedication from the local improvement fund for right‑of‑way costs, and authorization for a USDOT RAISE grant application.

The Carbondale City Council approved its consent agenda at the Jan. 13 meeting by unanimous roll call, adopting a slate of minutes, warrants, contract awards and resolutions.

City staff presented a list of items under the consent agenda. Highlights included: two warrants for fiscal year 2025 (warrant numbers and period details listed on the agenda), a Wells Fargo warrant, and other warrant periods; acceptance of board and committee minutes; appointments to boards and commissions; a resolution dedicating $8,400 from the Local Improvement Fund to cover the city’s portion of right‑of‑way costs for the Pleasant Hill Road CIP project; an award of contract to BC Contracting of Carbondale for slope stabilization at the southeast wastewater treatment plant equalization basin in the amount of $125,000; and an award of contract to Corte and Luke Jahan Contracting of Highland, Illinois for replacement of the water treatment plant air stripper tower in the amount of $505,000.
