Urbana council adopts consent items and two budget amendments, including fire-engine purchase
Summary
The council approved a consent package (Habitat CHDO certifications and a rezoning) and adopted two budget amendments: one labeled 'foreclosure' and another to fund a fire-engine purchase. All motions passed by roll call.
The Urbana City Council on Feb. 9 approved a consent agenda containing two resolutions supporting Habitat for Humanity projects and a zoning change, and adopted two separate budget amendments, including funding for a new fire engine.
Committee of the Whole presented a consent agenda that included resolution 2026-02-006-R certifying a Community Housing Development Organization for the Urbana Home Consortium (Habitat for Humanity) and resolution 2026-02-007-R to authorize a CHDO funding agreement with Habitat for Humanity, plus ordinance 2026-02-003 to rezone 904 East Main Street from R-3 to B-3 (plan case 2517-MD-25). The clerk recorded a roll-call vote and the consent agenda passed unanimously.
The council then considered ordinance 2026-02-004, described in the agenda as budget amendment number 7 relating to foreclosure; Councilmember Grace moved adoption and James seconded. The council recorded a unanimous roll-call vote and the ordinance passed.
Next, ordinance 2026-02-005 (budget amendment number 8) was introduced to revise the annual budget to allow a fire-engine purchase. The motion to adopt was moved and seconded, the clerk called the roll, and the ordinance passed with all members voting yes.
