Summary
Council passed a multi‑item consent agenda including a PACE bus shelter addendum, procurement for road salt ($555,000) and liquid deicer ($45,000), approved zoning approvals and increased a Class E liquor license for Taqueria del Primo after a 3–2 vote.
At the regular council meeting the body approved a multi‑item consent agenda that bundled routine financial, procurement and administrative items.
Items passed included vendor payments totaling $3,399,554.49, payroll ratifications and procurement resolutions: road salt procurement through the state joint purchasing contract not to exceed $555,000 and a liquid deicer sole‑source purchase not to exceed $45,000. The PACE bus shelter addendum for a shelter and advertising at 318 Belvedere Road was included and approved as part of the consent actions.
In zoning and land‑use business the council approved a map amendment (R‑3 to R‑4) at 642 South Martin Luther King Jr. Ave and a related conditional use permit for a multi‑unit dwelling. The council also approved a variance and conditional use permits tied to properties on West Wadsworth Road per the agenda items considered earlier by the Community Development Committee.
On a separate ordinance, the council voted to increase the number of Class E restaurant liquor licenses by one for Taqueria del Primo at 1020 Washington Street. The roll call on that ordinance was recorded as Ayes: Alderman Martinez, Alderman Donaworth and Mayor/Council Chair; Noes: Alderman Hayes and Alderman Bolton. Several council members questioned the door‑to‑door distance to the high school before voting.
What’s next: standard administrative processing will follow for the approved procurements and zoning changes; the liquor license expansion takes effect per municipal licensing procedures.
