The Pacific City Council approved its consent agenda on Jan. 26, including claims and payroll vouchers, meeting minutes, and two resolutions: Resolution 2026-1025 (Public Defense Agreement with Cayce & Grove) and Resolution 2026-1026 (Hearing Examiner Contract Amendment). Mayor Pro Tem Putnam moved to approve the consent agenda and Council President Kerry Garberding seconded; a roll-call vote recorded six ayes and the motion carried 6-0.
Separately, on council consensus the council forwarded the first reading of AB26-010a (Ordinance 2026-2121), an amendment to Pacific Municipal Code section 14.48.015 concerning sewer rates, to the Feb. 9 meeting for final reading. The minutes record the forwarding by consensus rather than a recorded roll-call vote.
The consent agenda also included the formal approval of claims and payroll vouchers and the minutes from the Jan. 12 regular meeting and workshop. The minutes do not record public comment or debate on the consent items. Specific contract terms for the Public Defense Agreement and the Hearing Examiner amendment are not included in the meeting record and are "not specified."
