Council approves consent items, appoints Michael Smith and adopts fire department standards
Summary
In addition to major agenda items, council confirmed committee reports, advanced grouped second- and third-readings for 24 bills, appointed Michael Smith to the arts commission and approved the fire department’s community risk assessment standards.
Council approved consent agenda items and committee reports, then voted to take grouped second and third readings on 24 bills and advanced them as amended. The council also appointed Michael Smith, CEO of the Charleston Symphony, to a commission on arts and adopted the fire department’s community risk assessment standards of cover, the latter brought straight to council due to time constraints.
The grouped voting action treated multiple bills together: council took items 1–24 (as amended where noted) for second reading, then moved them to third reading and approved third readings by voice vote. Committee chairs summarized recent committee work and the community development committee reported unanimous approval of items referred to it. These actions were approved by voice vote with no roll-call tallies reported in the transcript.
Council set its next meeting for Dec. 16 and closed the Dec. 2 session after completing the agenda.
