The City of Largo Commission on Oct. 21 approved routine business items and a consent docket that authorized several contracts, equipment purchases and board appointments.
The commission voted unanimously to approve the meeting agenda and minutes from its Oct. 7 regular meeting. The consent docket — approved 7–0 — included appointments (James Robinson to the Community Development Advisory Board; Jose Valdez to the Municipal Police Officers and Firefighters Retirement Plan Board of Trustees), acceptance of a sidewalk easement at 110 Highland Avenue SE, and an interlocal agreement for storm debris management site utilization between the City of Largo and Belleair Bluffs.
