Maple Valley council approves consent calendar, budget amendment and opioid‑settlement actions; all motions unanimous
Summary
At the July 22 meeting the council approved consent-calendar items (including vendor payments of $3.98M and $2.06M), adopted a budget amendment (O-24-821), approved meeting-schedule ordinance O-24-825, and after an executive session authorized participation steps and then agreed to forgo the city's Kroger opioid settlement allocation so funds can be reallocated under the King County agreement.
The Maple Valley City Council recorded unanimous votes on a series of routine and policy items at its July 22 regular meeting.
On the consent calendar council approved two disbursement batches: vendor and benefit checks for July 3 totaling $3,983,529.70 and for July 17 totaling $2,063,391.67; the consent calendar also included several resolutions and contract awards listed in the meeting materials. Council voted 7-0 to approve the consent calendar.
Council approved Ordinance No. O-24-821, amending the 2023–2024 budget to provide additional appropriations as previously approved by council, and approved Ordinance No. O-24-825 amending the council meeting schedule, location and type. Both ordinances were adopted by recorded motion and a 7-0 vote.
Following an executive session with legal counsel under RCW 42.30.110(1)(i) concerning potential litigation, the council returned to open session and authorized three related motions regarding the Kroger opioid settlement: to authorize the City Manager to execute the participation form, to authorize execution of the Allocation Agreement governing allocation of funds paid by Kroger, and to forgo the city’s allocation so the funds can be reallocated per the King County Regional Agreement. Each of these motions passed 7-0.
Other actions approved earlier in the meeting included procurement resolutions (see separate article on Henry’s Switch Bike Park) and adoption of revised council rules of procedure that change public-comment sign-in (Ordinance O-24-824). The minutes record that several items were moved on the agenda by Mayor Kelly early in the meeting and that the council extended the meeting time twice by recorded motions to complete business. The meeting adjourned at 10:41 p.m.
