Council approves minutes, appointments and multiple agenda items; key votes at-a-glance
Summary
On Jan. 22 the Albuquerque City Council approved the Jan. 6 journal, several appointment confirmations, suspended rules to add items to the agenda and approved EC 293; notable votes included R110 (8-1) and several unanimous consent approvals.
At its Jan. 22 meeting the Albuquerque City Council approved minutes, confirmed appointments and passed several routine items. Key recorded votes and motions included:
- Approval of the Jan. 6 journal: passed 9-0. - Suspension of rules to place EC 293 (International Center for Appropriate and Sustainable Technology — city-owned property weatherization) on the agenda: motion carried (unanimous procedural vote when called). - Suspension of rules to place EC 294 (mayor’s recommendation of award for military housing developer partner) on the agenda: motion carried (unanimous procedural vote when called). - Suspension of rules to introduce RA 4 (amending City Council Rules of Procedure) and place it on Feb. 3 agenda: motion passed 8-1. - Consent agenda adopted (after a few items were pulled for discussion): passed 9-0. - EC 293 (ICAST weatherization program) final approval: passed 9-0. - R110 (committee substitute adding district capital outlay request for a playscape at the Anderson Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum — District 4 request): passed 8-1. - EC248 and EC249 (mayor’s appointments of Karen Phillips and Kat Bloom to the Small Business Regulatory Committee): each confirmed (vote recorded as 8-1 for the confirmations noted in the transcript). - EC291 (mayor’s appointment of Marie Coleman to Old Town Port Market Advisory Board) was deferred to Feb. 19 at the request of Councilor Baca: deferral passed 9-0.
Why it matters: The recorded votes reflect routine council business — approvals, committee referrals and confirmations — and a handful of items that will move to further action or require follow-up. R110 is a district capital outlay request that the council forwarded in its legislative priorities.
Provenance: Motions and votes were recorded on the council floor during the Jan. 22 session; counts and outcomes are the tallies read aloud by the council president and in the transcript.
