Votes at a glance: Council suspends rules, passes multiple emergency ordinances and tables several items
Summary
Council moved to suspend rules multiple times and recorded recorded roll-call results (13 or 14 yeas depending on item); passed a series of emergency ordinances covering ADA software procurement, appropriations, grants for violence prevention, capital projects, housing trust fund amendments and public-works contracts; several items were tabled by unanimous vote.
At the meeting the clerk read dozens of ordinances and resolutions across first and second readings; council repeatedly moved to suspend the rules and place the legislation on final passage.
Key items recorded by the clerk included:
- Ordinance 6 54 20 26 (agreement with CivicPlus LLC) — first reading (ADA-compliance web software). - Ordinance 6 56 20 26 — emergency appropriation of $491,427 to the general fund. - Ordinance 6 58 20 26 — authorization for Community Police Commission to enter grant agreements for community-based violence prevention, restorative justice and mediation programs (up to two years). - Multiple ordinances authorizing transfers and purchases for capital projects, housing trust fund amendments, and public-works improvements (full list read on the record by the clerk).
Council member Santana moved to suspend the rules to place certain read ordinances on final passage; roll-call tallies reported in the meeting were 13 yeas for some items and 14 yeas for others. The clerk later listed several ordinances to be tabled and the motion to table carried with 14 ayes.
The meeting record included departmental requests to enter into contracts, apply for federal HUD grants for community development block grants and HOPWA programs, and authorize public-works improvements and procurement of goods and services for city departments. Specific contract amounts were recorded for some items (for example the $491,427 appropriation) while many items were read without full detail at the dais and will be available in the posted legislation files.
No contested roll-call results were reported in the meeting minutes beyond the tallies announced on the record; items that were passed will proceed to administrative implementation as appropriate.
