The La Center City Council approved the consent agenda on March 26 after a motion and second. The council’s remote member, Sean Boyle, registered his vote as “yes” in the meeting chat before the mayor confirmed the consent agenda’s approval.

Why it matters: Consent-agenda approvals finalize routine administrative items and allow the council to proceed to presentations and reports. The transcript does not list specific items removed from or included in that consent agenda.

The meeting also included an administrative announcement: Mayor Pro Tem Tim Casperg introduced Peter Boyce as La Center’s new director of administrative services, citing 25 years of local-government experience in multiple states and a background that includes budget management, collective-bargaining negotiation and capital planning. “Pete is eager to collaborate and learn from our talented team and looks forward to contributing to our projects and getting to know all of you,” the mayor pro tem said.

Action: The consent agenda was moved and seconded and approved; the transcript does not record named movers or a roll-call tally beyond the mayor’s confirmation and Boyle’s chat response.

Ending: The council proceeded to presentations after approving the consent agenda and then heard the two presentations and reports scheduled for the evening.
