Council unanimously approves consent calendar, asks staff to study City Hall uplighting
Summary
The Montebello City Council approved consent calendar items 8–16 by unanimous roll call and asked staff to explore uplighting for City Hall to mark civic events; the council recorded a roll‑call vote of five "I" votes.
The Montebello City Council approved its consent calendar (items 8–16) in a single motion at the April 8 meeting and later asked staff to study the feasibility of uplighting City Hall.
Council member Peralta moved to approve the consent items and Mayor Prom Romero seconded; the clerk conducted a roll‑call vote in which Council member Melendez, Council member Alonzo, Mayor President Romero, Council member Peralta and Mayor Tomayo each recorded an "I," and the motion passed unanimously.
During oral communications, a council member sought consensus for staff to explore exterior uplighting for City Hall — for example, using color changes to recognize causes such as autism awareness — and requested a report back with recommendations. The mayor and staff agreed to consider the idea and report findings to the council.
No separate public hearing or formal ordinance related to uplighting was introduced that night; the request was for staff feasibility work and recommendations.
