Yuma council approves consent items, annexations and transportation plan; several items adopted by roll call
Summary
The Yuma City Council on Jan. 7 approved multiple motion-consent items, adopted a pre-annexation agreement for 2108 W. 26th Street, approved a set of resolutions including a call of election and an Integrated Multimodal Transportation Master Plan, and adopted an annexation ordinance; several items were adopted by roll call.
The Yuma City Council on Wednesday approved a slate of consent items and adopted several resolutions and an ordinance with little debate.
The meeting opened with the council approving motion-consent item MC2026005 after Mayor Nichols recused himself because his firm participated in that contract; Deputy Mayor Smith presided while the council voted to approve the item on a motion by Councilmember Morales, seconded by Councilmember McClendon. The remainder of the motion consent agenda (nine items) was approved shortly afterward on a voice vote.
On the resolution consent agenda the council adopted Resolution R2026-003, a pre-annexation development agreement for 2108 West 26th Street. The roll call recorded 'Aye' votes from Council Members Martinez, McClendon, Deputy Mayor Smith, Morales, Watts and Mayor Nichols; Councilmember Morris had stepped off the dais and was not recorded voting on that item.
The council then adopted the remainder of the resolution consent agenda, including a call of election for the City of Yuma 2026 primary and general elections, a pre-annexation development agreement for 4286 West Verde Street, and an Integrated Multimodal Transportation Master Plan; those items passed by roll call with recorded 'Aye' votes from members present.
On the ordinance consent agenda the council adopted Ordinance 02025-050 (annexation area ANEX-44331 — ChaCha LLC) by roll call, with all recorded votes in favor.
Several actions were voice votes; where the clerk conducted a roll call, members were recorded as voting 'Aye.' No recorded 'Nay' votes appear in the meeting transcript.
What happens next: Adopted resolutions and ordinances will be processed according to city procedures and returned as part of the posted minutes. Items introduced (for example, Ordinance O2026-002, a rezoning for 1980 West Colorado Street) will return for future hearings and formal votes as required.
