Council approves consent calendar and grants Athens A Services requested rate adjustment

At its May 21 meeting, the Temple City Council voted to approve the consent calendar (with item 7C removed for discussion) and later approved item 7C — an annual rate‑adjustment request by Athens A Services.

A motion to approve the consent calendar without item 7C passed on roll call, with Councilmembers Chen, Man and Sternquist, Mayor Pro Tem Yu and Mayor Chavez recorded as voting yes. Councilmember Chen asked to recuse from item 7C and briefly left the dais before the separate vote on that item.

When the council took up item 7C, a motion to approve the annual rate adjustment by Athens A Services passed on a roll call vote with Councilmembers Man and Sternquist, Mayor Pro Tem Yu and Mayor Chavez recorded as voting yes; Councilmember Chen was excused for that vote. No public testimony was required for the item and no amendments were recorded.

The meeting record did not provide the adjusted rate amount in the public remarks; the agenda listed the item as a rate‑adjustment request by Athens A Services.
