Belmont council approves Brooks Act waiver for fire-station studies and fireworks fee waiver
Summary
Council approved two consent items: a mini‑Brooks Act exemption to contract directly for two fire station studies and a fee waiver for South Point High School’s postgame fireworks (fees totaling $1,115); the consent agenda was adopted by voice vote.
Belmont’s council approved its consent agenda at the start of the workshop, adopting two items by unanimous voice vote.
The first consent item (B1) was a request to waive the mini‑Brooks Act RFQ requirement for two fire‑station studies (the North Belmont area study and the main fire station study) so the city may directly engage a recommended firm; staff said the work is budgeted in the current fiscal year. The second consent item (B2) requested a fee waiver tied to South Point High School’s planned postgame fireworks show for a Homecoming/Patriotism Bowl event; staff said the total fees as calculated under the FY25 fee schedule amount to $1,115 and that the athletic director (Coach H) requested placement of the item on the agenda.
Councilmember Alex moved to approve the consent agenda and Charlie seconded; Mayor Bert called for the vote and the council adopted the consent agenda by voice vote.
