The consent agenda passed on a motion; the council recorded the consent vote as carrying.
- Special meetings schedule: Council approved moving the Nov. 11, 2025 meeting to Monday, Nov. 10; canceling the June 10 and Dec. 23 regular meetings; and scheduling budget workshops for May 21 and June 10, 2025. The motion carried 8–0.

What was on consent (high level): The Sedgwick County funding agreement continues an annual $115,000 contribution to the Derby Senior Center. The volunteer-transportation renewal coordinates rides for residents ages 55 and older and reimburses the city $7 per coordinated ride by Sedgwick County. The annexation items move forward previously requested county notifications and complete a previously-approved island annexation backed by a prior resolution and county approval.
