Plainview council approves consent calendar including minutes, DHS contract amendment and mayor's excusal
Summary
The Plainview City Council approved its consent calendar, which included excusing Mayor Starnes, minutes from prior meetings and an amendment to a DHS contract; no public comments were recorded.
The Plainview City Council approved the consent calendar without public comment.
Items on the consent calendar included excusing Mayor Starnes' absence, approval of minutes from previous meetings (December 5, 10 and 19) and an amendment to a Department of Human Services contract. Mayor Pro Tem called for public comment and, seeing none, the council voted to approve the consent calendar. In the transcript the clerk announced "I'll take a motion," a motion to approve was made and the vote was announced in the meeting as "we have a vote of 74." The council approved the consent agenda and moved to the regular agenda.
Why it matters: approval of the consent calendar completes routine procedural items and authorizes administrative actions such as minutes and contract amendments without separate debate.
There were no public comments recorded on these consent items during the meeting.
