Greeley City Council approves consent agenda items in 7-0 vote

The Greeley City Council voted 7-0 Tuesday to approve most of its consent agenda after pulling two items for separate discussion. The en-bloc vote covered Items 9-10 and 12-15, clearing routine proceedings along with intergovernmental agreements and two park-naming resolutions.

Approved in the consent vote were the May 5 council proceedings and May 12 work-session proceedings, cancellation of the June 23 work session, an agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation for maintenance of state-highway segments within Greeley, and an agreement between the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority and the city for the 10th Street TIF District Tenant Relocation Project.

The council also approved resolutions naming the city’s new dog park "The Barkyard" and naming Triple Creek Natural Area. Before the vote, Mayor Dale Hall said he wanted to pull Item 16, then added that he also wanted to pull Item 11 from the consent agenda.

Mayor Pro Tem Melissa McDonald then moved to approve the remaining consent items, listing "items number 9 through 10, 12, 13, 14, 15." Hall announced after the roll call that the motion carried 7-0.

The council then moved on to Item 11, a separate resolution authorizing a professional services contract tied to downtown stormwater work.
