Council approves consent agenda and two ordinances; several resolutions included in consent

The Estacada City Council approved routine items on the consent agenda and took final votes on two ordinances during its June 23 meeting.

What the council approved

- Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda by voice vote. Items included the June 9, 2025 council minutes and three items summarized by staff: resolution 2025‑012 adopting a fee schedule, resolution 2025‑013 transferring appropriations (budget transfer), and an item described in the packet as the "sliding contract" plus a resolution supporting Timberlake Job Corps operations. Motion: "I move to approve the consent agenda." (mover and seconder not specified in the audio record). Outcome: Motion passed by voice vote (voice "Aye").

- Ordinance 2025‑005 (second reading / adoption): Council moved and seconded to adopt Ordinance 2025‑005, described in the packet as "an ordinance amending Title 5, business licenses, regulations of the Estacada code." The council took a final vote; the ordinance passed (roll call: Councilors Blevins, Dolezal, Hill, McElroy, Tenbush and Mayor Drinkwine all voted "Yes"). The mover and seconder were noted in the record as present but specific mover/second names were not audibly captured for the motion text.

- Ordinance 2025‑006 (second reading / adoption): The council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025‑006, "an ordinance amending Title 8, health and safety of the Estacada Municipal Code." Discussion included a recommendation from staff to pause for further legal review because the city's former attorney had been working with outside counsel; other council members supported moving forward and delaying enforcement while any final clarifications are reviewed. The council adopted the ordinance by roll call (Councilors Blevins, Dolezal, Hill, McElroy, Tenbush and Mayor Drinkwine voted "Yes").
