River Falls council approves consent agenda and appoints Jeremy Rodriguez as Quick Trip agent

The River Falls Common Council on April 28 approved the remaining items on its consent agenda and later voted to appoint Jeremy Rodriguez as agent for Quick Trip Store 301.

Council member Beerstead presented bills and moved payment approval as listed in the council packet. The agenda listed a payment amount transcribed in the record as "1,597,45.72"; the council approved the bills subject to the controller’s review. The council then voted to approve the remaining consent agenda items after members pulled items 4 and 12 for separate consideration.

When resolution number 4 (appointing a new agent for Quick Trip Store 301) was considered, the council asked standard questions of the nominee. Jeremy Rodriguez confirmed he holds a responsible server certificate and that he understands the responsibilities of the agent role, including that he may be held responsible for violations that occur even when he is not on premises. "Yes, I do," Rodriguez said in response to each question. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution appointing Rodriguez.

Items explicitly included in the consent actions and approved without separate roll-call detail included approvals related to property transactions (Decentralized Foods LLC actions), noise exemptions for community arts events and a June 11th event, a municipal court memorandum of understanding, equipment purchases (telehandler/forklift) and a 2026 pavement markings contract.

Votes on the consent motion and on the Quick Trip appointment were recorded as carried; specific numerical roll-call tallies were not provided in the readable transcript.

Next steps: the two items pulled from consent were addressed later in the meeting (item 4 was approved at the dais; item 12 was discussed and approved as a separate item).
