Seattle City Council adopts introduction/referral and consent calendars; consent calendar passes 8–0
Summary
The council adopted the introduction and referral calendar without objection and then adopted the consent calendar (including the minutes of Jan. 27, 2026 and Council Bill 121,157) by a roll-call vote recorded as 8 in favor, none opposed. Several members requested to be excused from upcoming meetings and were granted leave. The meeting adjourned at 03:14.
With no objection, Council President Joy Hollingsworth declared the introduction and referral calendar adopted and then moved to the consent calendar. The clerk called the roll after a motion and a second; recorded affirmative votes included Councilmembers Rivera, Saka, Strauss, Foster, Juarez, Kettle, Lynn and President Hollingsworth and the clerk announced "8 in favor, none opposed." The consent calendar included the minutes of Jan. 27, 2026 and Council Bill 121,157.
Council Member Juarez later used a point of personal privilege to condemn racist and inflammatory language used during public comment and to note that the earlier personal-attack warning to Mr. Zimmerman had been recorded. Council Members Strauss and Kettle requested to be excused from the Feb. 10 meeting (and Kettle noted a later absence on Feb. 17); the requests were granted after no objection. President Hollingsworth thanked public commenters and adjourned the meeting at 03:14.
The roll-call record as read aloud in the meeting shows the consent calendar adopted with eight affirmative votes and none opposed; the transcript does not record an individual 'no' or abstention during the roll call. The council took no additional formal legislation votes or policy adoptions during the Feb. 3 meeting.
