Bayport council approves consent agenda covering minutes, permits, annexation and event licenses

The Bayport City Council approved its consent agenda at the June 1 meeting, adopting items 1–10 as presented (with two small edits to the May regular meeting minutes).

The consent package included approval of May 4 workshop and regular meeting minutes (with two small edits), May payables and receipts, the May building/plumbing/mechanical/zoning permits report, a special event application from Woodfire Wellness to operate a seasonal sauna facility at Lakeside Park, temporary liquor licenses for the Bayport American Legion for Derby Days (Sept. 18) and the St. Charles Fall Festival (Sept. 27), a security incident response policy for the police department, authorization to initiate annexation of remnant parcels P1000292024001 and P10002920240086 within Baytown Township, and appointment of this year's election judges.

Council member Orin moved to approve the consent agenda with the edits to the minutes; Council member Carl seconded. Roll-call votes from Council member Bliss, Council member Kip and Mayor Hansen were recorded in favor, and the consent agenda passed.

The authorization to initiate annexation pertains to small remnant parcels described at the meeting; staff described these as gap parcels that were not previously included in an earlier annexation. No public hearing on the annexation occurred at this meeting; the record indicated a joint planning commission and city council meeting is scheduled for July 13 to consider related ordinance amendments.
