The Aberdeen City Council took procedural and contract actions during its March 25 meeting.
The council approved a motion for first reading of bill 26-01, an ordinance to establish a Customer Assistance Program and create AMC chapter 3.124. The motion was made, seconded and the council recorded the first-reading approval.
Later the council considered a manager recommendation to authorize execution of a testing services contract with Materials Testing and Consulting, Inc. A motion to authorize the mayor to execute the MTC contract carried in council action.
Council also held first reading of bill 26-02, an ordinance amending AMC 2.20.04; members moved, seconded and advanced the item after brief discussion.
These actions were recorded as first readings or authorizations; none of the ordinances were adopted on final reading during this meeting. Where votes were recorded, they were taken as "aye" to carry first readings and contract authorization; detailed roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript for each action.
