Lafayette Council unanimously approves consent calendar and two district resolutions

The Lafayette City Council on May 26 adopted routine items and two resolutions by unanimous vote.

After calling the meeting to order at 6:15 and approving the agenda, the council adjourned to a closed session and later reconvened with no reportable items. The council returned to open session, recited the Pledge of Allegiance, and then proceeded through presentations and agenda items.

On the consent calendar the council voted unanimously to adopt the consent calendar.

During the public hearing segment, staff opened the hearing on item A1 and reported no public speakers. A council member moved adoption of Resolution 2026-33 and a second was recorded; the council approved the resolution unanimously.

The council then considered item A2, the residential lighting district matter. Staff explained the district’s funding and the process for neighborhoods that may want to pursue added lighting. With no public speakers present, a councilmember moved approval of Resolution 2026-34; the motion passed unanimously.

The council also approved a Rotary request to use the plaza for a winter workshop on Dec. 12 and accepted resignations from long-serving Public Art Committee members with regret.
