Summary

The Richland City Council unanimously approved the consent calendar (minutes, rezones, resolutions authorizing land agreements, leases and grants). Separately, ordinance 20‑26‑01 amending parking minimums passed 5‑1.

At its Jan. 6 meeting the Richland City Council approved a multi‑item consent calendar by roll call (unanimous) that included minutes approval, ordinances for second reading related to rezones and a 2029 council compensation plan, plus resolutions authorizing an option agreement with Polish Homes Inc., a lease with G Way Development Company LLC, state grant applications and a five‑year cooperative service agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for wildlife damage management at Horn Rapids Landfill.

The council then voted on ordinance 20‑26‑01 to amend Title 23 (minimum parking requirements); the motion to adopt passed 5‑1. The consent calendar was presented as routine and enacted by one motion; council members had the opportunity to pull items for discussion but none were pulled.

Approved consent items (as read in the meeting): minutes; Ord. 2025‑40 (2029 council compensation plan); Ord. 2025‑41 (rezoning ~29 acres at Parcel No. 12098100002004); Ord. 2025‑42 (rezoning ~58.39 acres across listed parcel numbers); Res. 202601 (option agreement with Polish Homes Inc. for 90.53 acres at 2851 Twin Bridges Road); Res. 202602 (lease with G Way Development Company LLC for fire/emergency office space); Res. 202603 (application/acceptance for WA State electrification and appliance rebates grant); Res. 202604 (professional development grants from Washington State Library); Res. 202605 (5‑year USDA cooperative service agreement for wildlife management at Horn Rapids Landfill).

Outcomes: consent calendar — approved unanimously; ordinance 20‑26‑01 — approved 5‑1. Items will be implemented as described in staff reports or returned to council if further action is required.
