Votes and formal actions at Lowell City Council meeting — May 19, 2026
Summary
The council approved the amended agenda, the consent agenda (with minute corrections), Resolution 876 (strategic plan), and Resolution 877 (goals). An adjournment motion passed with a roll call that records one 'No' vote by Councilor Tim Stratis; the minutes also state 'Motion passed.'
At the May 19 meeting the Lowell City Council took several formal actions: Councilor Don Bennett moved to approve the agenda as amended; Councilor Tim Stratis seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The consent agenda, including corrected April 21 minutes, was approved on a motion by Councilor Tim Stratis with Councilor Don Bennett seconding; the motion passed unanimously.
The council adopted Resolution 876 (five‑year strategic plan) on a motion by Councilor Gail Harris, seconded by Councilor Tim Stratis, and adopted Resolution 877 (fiscal year goals) on a motion by Councilor Tim Stratis, seconded by Councilor Gail Harris; both motions were recorded as passing unanimously. A motion to adjourn, moved by Councilor Don Bennett and seconded by Councilor Gail Harris, is recorded in the minutes as 'Motion passed.' The subsequent roll call lists Murray: Yes; Harris: Yes; Bennett: Yes; Stratis: No, an inconsistency noted in the minutes between the 'Motion passed' wording and the roll‑call votes.
