Votes at a glance: council approves consent agenda and committee recommendations; several items carried with unanimous or near‑unanimous votes
The West Allis Common Council carried multiple routine items and committee recommendations during the meeting’s action period, with recorded roll‑call votes on the consent agenda, committee reports and several individual items.

The council approved the consent agenda (minus an item referred to committee) on a roll‑call vote recorded as 10 in favor, 0 opposed. Alderman Haas moved approval of the consent agenda (minus item 6); the motion was seconded and the clerk recorded the unanimous vote.

The council recessed for standing committee meetings and later reconvened. The Administration Committee’s report — which included a recommendation to refer item 16 to the city attorney’s office and to allow the attorney’s office to acquire outside counsel, and the adoption of item 21 — was adopted on a roll‑call vote recorded as 10 in favor, 0 opposed.

Item 20 was adopted by roll call 9 in favor, 1 opposed. The transcript records a “No” vote on that item with the tally announced as “9 in favor, 1 opposed.” The Public Works Committee recommended adoption of items 23 and 24, which were adopted by roll call 10 in favor, 0 opposed. The Economic Development Committee recommended a number of dispositions (granting item 25; holding item 26; passing items 27 and 28; adopting items 29–35), which the council adopted by roll call 10 in favor, 0 opposed. The Public Safety Committee recommended passage of item 36 (effective when the related state bill becomes effective) and adoption of item 37; the committee report was approved by roll call 10 in favor, 0 opposed.

Finally, Alderman Haas moved and the council approved a motion to stand adjourned until the council’s next scheduled meeting on 2025‑11‑04; the motion carried by voice vote.
