Council adds resolution ratifying transmittal of letter opposing Tanaska gas‑plant expansion to consent agenda
Summary
Council voted to add to the consent agenda a resolution ratifying a Feb. 23 letter the city transmitted opposing the proposed Tanaska gas‑plant expansion in Fluana County; the amendment was approved on a voice vote and will appear on the business agenda for final action.
At the March 2 meeting the Charlottesville City Council voted to add a proposed resolution to the consent agenda that would ratify and affirm a Feb. 23 transmittal of a letter to Fluana County officials opposing the proposed Tanaska gas‑plant expansion.
Miss Thomas read the resolution, which states the city’s concern about regional implications for air quality, climate and public health and seeks to formally ratify the earlier correspondence as an official act of the council. A motion to add the resolution to the agenda was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote; the item was placed on the consent agenda for consideration during the business meeting later in the evening.
The motion to add the item was recorded on the roll but the transcript does not name the mover or seconder. Councilors clarified the addition was for the consent agenda and not immediate passage on the spot. The resolution text as read cites the council’s desire to formally ratify the earlier letter and requests that the letter, attached as an exhibit, be affirmed as an official act of the Charlottesville City Council.
No further debate on the resolution’s content occurred during the presentation portion of the meeting; the consent‑agenda item will be considered during the business session.
