Summary

The Waltham City Council approved several procedural motions at its June 8 meeting to take agenda items out of order and to hear a guest speaker. Councillor Cates successfully moved to suspend Rule 8 to consider a resolution honoring Rose Marie Richard and later moved to suspend Rule 8 and Rule 9 to take up and hear a representative of Jewish Children and Family Services; each suspension was approved by voice vote.
Councilors then approved the resolution honoring Rose Marie Richard by voice vote after the Clerk read the resolution’s recitals. The meeting record in the transcript shows no roll-call or recorded dissent on these procedural items and the resolution; the transcript does not record final votes or decisions on zoning, funding or ordinances in the excerpt provided.
