Hartford council approves consent calendar including property sales, a state grant and $500,000 cannabis revenue allocation
Summary
The Hartford Court of Common Council approved the consent calendar May 26, clearing multiple property sales under the Lots to Homes program, a state bond grant for Keeney Park practice facility upgrades, a license with Aetna for police office space, and a $500,000 allocation of cannabis tax revenue to health and human services.
Council President TJ Clark presided as the Hartford Court of Common Council approved its consent calendar on May 26, 2026, clearing a slate of property sales, a grant acceptance and a revenue allocation with no extended debate.
Majority Leader Kelly Billadoux moved the items to the consent calendar “through you, council president, I make a motion to move the following items to the consent calendar,” and the motion was seconded. The city clerk called the roll and announced the motion carried.
At issue on the consent calendar were: acceptance of a state of Connecticut bond fund grant to upgrade the Keeney Park Golf Course driving/practice facility; a license agreement with Aetna Life Insurance Company for use of office space at 151 Farmington Avenue by the Hartford Police Department; a substitute resolution to allocate $500,000 of cannabis tax revenue to the Department of Health and Human Services; and several property transactions under the Lots to Homes initiative, including sales of 58–60 Earl Street, 21 Elmer Street, 97 Ashley Street, 53 Martin Street, 96–98 Nelson Street, 60–62 Sterling Street and 62–64 Chadwick Avenue. An ordinance amending chapter 7 of the municipal code was also placed on consent.
The clerk recorded the roll-call vote and announced the consent calendar items carried. The meeting record shows the motions carried, but the transcript does not provide a consolidated numerical tally for each item in sequence; individual "Yes" responses were recorded for members during the roll call.
Council documents and committee reports on file with the city clerk will carry full text of each resolution, license, sale and ordinance; those materials provide legal descriptions, financing terms and detailed conditions for property conveyances and grant acceptance. The substitute resolution allocating $500,000 in cannabis tax revenue was discussed in committee and placed on consent for approval.
The council adjourned after completing the consent calendar and other routine business.
