Chandler council unanimously approves consent agenda, names Melanie Dykstra to library board

The Chandler City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda at the April 9 meeting, approving items 1 through 16, including a library board appointment.

A council member moved to approve “the consent agenda, the 04/09/2026 regular meeting, items 1 through 16.” The motion was seconded by Council member Ellis and carried unanimously after a roll call vote. The clerk had noted, as part of the consent packet, a board appointment to the library board: Melanie Dykstra.

Mayor Herkey said council members had an opportunity to review the items and meet with staff earlier in the week before voting, noting that the apparent speed of the vote reflected prior review rather than a lack of scrutiny. The council did not request separate discussion of any item on the consent calendar during the meeting.

Outcome and next steps: The consent agenda passed without amendments. The administration indicated staff would follow up on any inquiries from members or the public about specific consent items as requested.

Actions recorded: A motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded and passed unanimously.
