Woodbridge council takes up handicap-parking ordinance, approves minutes and consent agenda with several abstentions
Summary
Council approved minutes, moved an amendment to the traffic and parking ordinance for handicap spaces on Lee Street and Greenbrook Avenue on second/third reading (public hearing opened and closed with no comment), and approved a 68-item consent agenda while several members recorded abstentions on specific items.
The Woodbridge Town Council handled routine business and passed procedural items during the meeting.
After confirming open-meeting notice and roll call, a motion to approve minutes from 11/26/2024 was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote. The council then took up an amendment to chapter 7 of the traffic and parking ordinances to establish handicap parking on Lee Street and Greenbrook Avenue; the council moved to take the ordinance up on second and third reading, opened the public hearing, heard no public comment and closed the hearing. The record shows the council then moved to mayoral approval as required by law.
Council then considered the consent agenda, which included 68 resolutions. Members recorded a number of abstentions on specific resolution numbers: the record shows individual statements such as "I'd like to abstain from number 68," and several other abstentions called out for items including #34, #20 and #22. Motions to adopt the consent agenda were seconded and approved by voice vote after the abstentions were recorded. The transcript does not document detailed vote-by-name tallies for the consent agenda apart from the abstentions noted in open remarks.
No member requested that consent items be pulled for separate discussion on the record during this meeting. The meeting then proceeded to the public-comment portion and later adjourned by motion and voice vote.
