Irving City Council approves consulting agreement, zoning case and names mayor pro tem and deputy mayor pro tem

The Irving City Council at its June 12 meeting approved a consulting agreement by separate vote, unanimously approved a zoning case and named John Block mayor pro tem and Mark Cronenwett deputy mayor pro tem.

Council first approved the consent agenda unanimously. Item 18 was removed from consent for separate consideration and was then approved by a 6-3 vote with one abstention; the meeting transcript identifies the item as "a resolution approving [a] consulting agreement" but does not specify the consulting party or contract amount.

A single zoning case that had been discussed in the work session was approved unanimously following a motion for approval. The council then considered appointments: the mayor moved to appoint John Block as mayor pro tem and Mark Cronenwett as deputy mayor pro tem; the motion passed 9-0.

The meeting record shows no further details or substantive debate about the consulting agreement or the zoning case in the public portion of the meeting; the transcript indicates that the item had received discussion in the work session earlier in the day. Where motions or seconder names were not included in the transcript excerpt, they are recorded as not specified.
