Standish council adopts Limited English Proficiency plan
Summary
The Standish City Council passed Resolution 24-05 on Aug. 26, 2024, adopting a Limited English Proficiency plan; the minutes record the motion and unanimous roll-call passage but do not include the plan text or funding implications.
Council member Fleszar moved and Council member Spencer supported passage of Resolution 24-05, titled a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) plan, at the Aug. 26 special meeting. The motion passed by roll call; the minutes record the motion and that the motion carried.
The minutes do not include the text of Resolution 24-05 or details about implementation, language access measures, or any funding. The record on its face lists the roll-call YEAS as Fleszar, Prout, Fleszar, Spencer, Winslow; that duplication appears to be a typographical error in the minutes. Based on the roster of members present, the accurate roll-call YEAS are recorded in other motions as Fleszar; Link; Prout; Spencer; Winslow, and the council's adoption is reported as unanimous by the minutes. The transcript does not show a substantive debate on the plan.
The action puts an LEP policy in place as recorded in the minutes; the record does not include next steps, an effective date, or administrative responsibilities for implementation.
The council adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
