Council amends consent agenda minutes: pulls June 6 minutes to remove sentence about opioid-settlement 'preference'
Summary
Council pulled item A (special meeting minutes from June 6) from the consent agenda and approved the consent agenda with item A revised to remove a sentence that characterized a 'preference' for certain opioid-settlement projects; council left in a sentence noting that additional discussion was needed.
During the July 9 meeting the City Council pulled Item A from the consent agenda — the special meeting minutes from June 6 — for separate discussion and revision. Council member Brock Smith said the minutes included a sentence stating the group showed a "preference" for specific projects (detox bridge housing, additional recovery housing, and a STAR center startup) related to opioid settlement funds; Smith said he did not recall the meeting reaching a preference and moved to strike that sentence.
Another council member seconded the motion. Council discussed that the minutes already contained language noting that additional discussion was needed on the topic, which satisfied one member’s concern. The council voted to approve the consent agenda with Item A amended to remove the single sentence in the second paragraph of item 3 and to adopt the consent agenda without other changes.
The consent vote passed on a voice vote; Item A passed with the noted change to the June 6 minutes.
