Livonia council approves consent agenda 6–0 after public comment urging pool over splash pad

The Livonia City Council approved the consent agenda (Items 1–20) by a 6–0 roll‑call vote.

During the audience‑communication period Frank McDermott (Rayburn, Livonia) specifically addressed Item 10, urging the council to reconsider a proposed splash pad and instead refurbish a pool so children would have an opportunity to learn to swim. "Children need a pool more than they need a splash pad," McDermott said, arguing that pools support swim instruction and broader use.

After the public comment period the clerk took the roll and recorded six ayes; the chair announced that the consent agenda passed 6–0. Several other members of the public spoke on consent agenda subitems during the audience period but the council treated the full package as noncontroversial and approved it on a single roll‑call vote.

Next steps: individual consent items will proceed as approved; the council did not pull any consent items for separate consideration during this meeting.
