Council approves consent agenda, city‑attorney contract and livestream renewal

The Mount Shasta City Council handled multiple routine business items and contract approvals during the meeting.

Consent agenda: The council approved consent agenda items by motion, which included approval of meeting minutes (June/July 2026), accounts payable, the police monthly report, the mobile‑home rent stabilization ordinance second reading, and property tax lien items. Council Member (speaker 17) moved to approve items a through e by title only and the motion passed by voice vote.

City attorney contract: Council reviewed and approved a professional services agreement to contract with the law firm named in the packet (various spellings in the record) for city‑attorney services on a fee‑for‑service basis. Staff disclosed hourly rates for general services and specialized legal services during the required notice; Andrew Jared, a shareholder with the firm, introduced himself by Zoom, explained the firm’s fee‑for‑service arrangement (no fixed retainer) and described conflict‑check procedures and a free two‑hour annual ethics training offer. Public comment asked about possible conflicts from the firm’s other municipal clients; the attorney said he does not represent Siskiyou County and reported a conflict check found no issues.

Livestream renewal: The council renewed a one‑year contract with 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics to livestream and record public meetings for another year (effective on execution through 06/30/2027); staff said no substantive changes were proposed.

All three items carried on voice votes recorded as ayes; no roll‑call tallies were read into the record.
