Madison board unanimously approves broad consent agenda, assigns major to state narcotics task force
Summary
At its Sept. 16 meeting the Mayor and Board of Aldermen approved a sweeping consent agenda that included personnel changes, grant and project documents, and an authorization to assign Major Robbie Sanders to the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Task Force; the vote was unanimous (counts not specified).
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen of Madison met Sept. 16 and unanimously approved a broad consent agenda that covered personnel actions, grant-related documents and multiple administrative items. Alderman Janie Jarvis moved to approve the Consent Agenda and Alderman Tawanna Tatum seconded; Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler declared the motion carried after a unanimous vote. The transcript does not provide numeric vote counts.
Notable items included acceptance of meeting minutes and claims dockets; personnel actions recorded on the Status/Payroll Change Report (the transcript lists the resignation of Police Dispatcher Brett Ware effective Sept. 19, 2025, the termination of Parks Department laborer Grayson Jackson effective Sept. 9, 2025, and the acceptance of the oath of office for Police Officer Matthew McMillan). The board authorized the Madison Police Department to sign an annual Memorandum of Understanding with the Parker Children's Center and the Mississippi Children's Advocacy Center.
The consent agenda also authorized the mayor to sign final reimbursement documents for an Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) project at Brashear Creek (NR244423XXXXC105), accepted various monthly departmental reports, approved temporary storage-unit permits for two residential addresses (1002 N. Azalea Drive and 427 Fairfield Drive for specified dates), and authorized submission of Federal Aviation Administration pre-applications for projects at Bruce Campbell Field. The board approved resolutions and pay applications related to transportation and airport projects and authorized professional services and change-order documents tied to municipal projects (exhibits referenced in the official packet).
Police Chief Gene Waldrup requested and obtained board approval to add a new item to the consent agenda authorizing assignment of Major Robbie Sanders to the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Task Force; that item was included as Item W and became part of the package the board approved.
The minutes show the board took the consent actions as a single package rather than considering each item individually. Where the transcript omits numeric tallies, this article reports outcomes as recorded: approved unanimously, vote counts not specified.
