At its meeting, the Akron City Council approved the consent agenda and took separate votes on two emergency ordinances.

The consent agenda was moved and approved by voice; the chair announced the consent agenda passed 13 to 0. Items placed on the consent agenda included multiple borrowing authorizations in anticipation of bond issuances and procurement authorizations. Notable consent items (as introduced by Councilman Lombardo) included:

- An ordinance authorizing issuance and sale of notes in a maximum principal amount of $3,000,000 in anticipation of bonds to pay costs of certain economic development projects.
- An ordinance authorizing issuance and sale of notes in a maximum principal amount of $5,000,000 in anticipation of bonds to pay costs of improving municipal buildings and facilities.
- An ordinance authorizing issuance and sale of notes in a maximum principal amount of $2,000,000 in anticipation of bonds to pay costs of improving the city's parks and recreation system.
- An ordinance authorizing issuance and sale of notes in a maximum principal amount of $8,000,000 in anticipation of bonds to pay costs of street improvements.
- Ordinances authorizing procurement agreements without formal advertising for vendors (including Amazon, Granger, and W.B. Mason) for miscellaneous supplies and small-dollar purchases, and renewal of software maintenance subscriptions through Dec. 31, 2026.

Separately, the council considered Item 11 (offered by Councilman Fusco), which authorizes adding Summit County parcels 1505630, 1504125 and 1504082 to the Copley-Akron joint economic development district (JEDD) on a temporary basis during construction and authorizes the mayor to amend the JEDD agreement. The committee recommended suspension of the rules with a favorable report, the rules were suspended, and the ordinance passed on roll call 12 to 1 (Councilmember Wilson recorded a Nay). An administration representative (Ezra Edin) described the change as routine, intended to allow temporary JEDD inclusion during a proposed residential subdivision to obtain utility customers.

Item 12 (offered by Councilman McKittrick) authorized the mayor or designee to enter agreements with Summit County for boarding City of Akron prisoners; the committee report was favorable, the rules were suspended, and the ordinance passed on roll call 12 to 1 (Councilmember Wilson recorded a Nay).

Item 0 (resolution to amend council rules of procedure referenced as '3 73 20 23') was offered by President Somerville and was referred rather than passed.

The meeting concluded with committee assignments announced and adjournment.
