Summary

Council moved and approved the consent calendar with items 16 and 19 pulled for separate votes; item 0.16 was considered and voted separately and item 0.19 was approved after a separate vote.

At the start of the July 28 meeting the council considered the consent calendar, which included ordinance readings, lease approvals and several resolutions such as authorization for a Mobility House LLC agreement for managed EV charging, a one‑year lease for retail space at 918 State Street with State of Mind Café, airport lease matters, and a Pride flag resolution declaring August 2026 as Pride Month in the City.

Councilmember Santa María moved to approve the consent calendar except for items 16 and 19; Councilmember Gutiérrez seconded the motion. The roll call and votes proceeded and the council then took separate votes on the held items.

Item 0.19 (related to a memorandum of understanding on railroad bridge replacement projects and boulevard improvements) was also considered separately and passed by the council following discussion.

Council then closed the consent calendar and moved on to public comment.
