At Monday's meeting the Bloomington City Council approved a short consent agenda and voted on a contract amendment with a community partner amid a disclosed recusal.
Council Member Sean Nelson recused himself from Consent Item 3.3 because he serves on VIP's board and said he wanted to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

The clerk recorded the action as passing with 4 yes votes, 1 no and one abstention/recusal.
