Loading...
Summary
On March 17 the Council approved several consent items and unanimously approved a distance-exemption beer permit for Sally’s Stay Alive (611 Wedgwood Ave); it deferred BL20261295, an ordinance about community meeting requirements for leased Metropolitan properties, for one meeting at the request of Councilmember Allen.
The Metropolitan Council took three formal actions during its March 17 meeting: it approved several consent agenda items, granted a distance-exemption for a beer permit for Sally’s Stay Alive at 611 Wedgwood Avenue, and deferred an ordinance on community-meeting requirements for certain leased Metropolitan properties.
Chair (speaker S1) read the consent agenda items that included RS20261831 (a cooperative purchase master agreement for BNS Photo Electronics and visual solutions, for the county’s information technology services department), BL20261297 (an amendment to a COBRA administration contract), and an ordinance approving amendment 2 to contract 6468641 with Motorola Solutions for 800-megahertz P25 trunked simulcast system software upgrade/maintenance. Committee members moved and seconded the consent items, and the Council voted in favor; the recorded tally for that motion was 5 in favor, 0 opposed, 0 not voting.
On item 1, the Council considered a resolution exempting Sally’s Stay Alive at 611 Wedgwood Avenue from the minimum-distance requirements for a beer permit under Metropolitan Code § 7.08.090(e). A motion to approve was moved and seconded; after lighthearted comment about the business name, the Council voted in favor with a recorded tally of 5–0.
On bill BL20261295 (an ordinance amending §2.24.23 of the Metropolitan Code regarding community meeting requirements for leasing certain Metropolitan-owned properties), Chair noted receipt of a letter from Councilmember Allen requesting a one-meeting deferral. A motion to defer carried unanimously (one-meeting deferral; tally recorded as unanimous).
The transcript records vote tallies but does not list individual member votes by name, so member-specific vote records were not provided in the transcript.
The meeting then moved to a Codes Department presentation and concluded with adjournment.
