Summary

Council adopted the consent agenda (CR 1–CR 9, CR 11–CR 12) and separately approved CR 10 accepting a library trustee resignation and appointing Magdalene O'Connor to the library board; the motion recorded a 'no' vote from Council member Rogers.

The council adopted the consent agenda items listed on the agenda in a single motion and then took up CR 10 separately. CR 10 included accepting the resignation of library trustee John Shane and appointing Magdalene O'Connor to the library board to serve an unexpired term; the mayor characterized the appointment as a mayoral appointment. The motion to adopt CR 10 passed on roll call; Council member Rogers recorded a dissenting vote.

Council members also approved the bill list for the evening as part of routine business. No extended public debate accompanied the appointments or bill approvals; a resident asked whether there were other applicants for the library vacancy and was told there were none.
