DPW garage bond approved after Alderman Kelly abstains
Summary
The committee separated the DPW garage (item 12) for an individual vote after Alderman Kelly said legal counsel advised her not to participate; the motion to approve the DPW garage passed, and the chair recorded Kelly's abstention.
The committee split the bonding plan so the DPW garage and fleet maintenance facility (item 12) would be considered on its own, after Alderman Kelly said legal counsel asked her not to participate in that project discussion. "I am unable to vote on the DPW garage, and legal has requested that I not participate in that discussion," Alderman Kelly said, asking that the item be pulled out for separate consideration.
After discussing the split, the committee voted on the DPW garage separately. The chair announced that Alderman Kelly would abstain from that vote; despite the abstention the motion to approve the DPW garage passed. The transcript records the abstention and the chair's declaration that the motion passed, but it does not include a roll-call tally of yes/no votes on that individual item. Staff noted the project will proceed toward bond authorization and that any further votes or contract steps will follow standard procurement and board approval processes.
