Taft council approves consent calendar including $630,000 in bills; tables social media policy for edits
Summary
Council approved consent items 8–17 by a 5-0 roll call (including payment of about $630,000 in bills, meeting cancellations, audits, an investment policy review, travel funding, and an authorization to sign a cloud-services agreement); council removed and tabled Item 11 (social media policy) for minor adjustments, approving that action 5-0.
The Taft City Council approved the consent calendar covering routine administrative matters and then separately removed and tabled a proposed social media policy for further edits.
The consent calendar items approved included minutes for the Feb. 17 meeting; payment of bills totaling approximately $630,000; cancellation of the July 7, 2026 council meeting; annual reviews and audits for Transportation Development Act funds; adoption of the City Investment Policy (no changes recommended); approval of travel funding for finance and HR staff for Tyler Connect training ($1,000 from capital reserves for HR); and authorization for the mayor to execute an agreement with Tyler Technologies for cloud services (item 17). Councilmember discussion was minimal on consent items and the roll call vote approved the slate 5-0.
Item 11, an update to administrative policies to adopt social media policy section 129, had previously been placed on the consent calendar. Mayor Pro Tem Bryant (speaker S7) requested the item be removed and tabled pending minor adjustments. The council moved and seconded to remove and table item 11; a roll call followed and the motion to table was approved 5-0.
What happens next: staff will make the requested minor adjustments to the social media policy and return Item 11 to the council agenda at a future meeting; the other consent items are finalized as approved.
