Votes at a glance: Benton City Council approves salaries ordinance, consent agenda; executive session added
Summary
On July 29 the council approved the consent agenda (including a $440,000 chip‑seal line) and adopted Ordinance 10‑75 (salaries) on second reading by voice vote; the council also added an executive session under state law and adjourned to it.
The Benton City Council took several formal actions on July 29, 2025.
Consent agenda: Council approved the consent agenda by voice vote after staff noted a $440,000 payable to Central Washington Asphalt for chip seal projects in the packet.
Ordinance 10‑75 (salaries): On second reading the council moved, seconded and adopted Ordinance 10‑75 (a salaries ordinance). The motion passed by voice vote; the transcript records councilmembers saying “aye” but does not record a roll‑call tally.
Agenda amendment — executive session: Council added an executive session citing state law (RCW 42.30.11) to discuss litigation or potential litigation and adjourned the open meeting to hold that session. The council returned and formally adjourned the meeting.
Procedural notes: Where the transcript records only voice votes, no roll‑call tallies or named vote records were provided.
