Southfield council approves consent agenda, enacts three ordinances and clears travel reports

The Southfield City Council approved a broad consent agenda and several individual motions during its June 15 meeting. Councilman Mandelbomb moved the consent agenda covering routine contracts, road resurfacing cost participation, public-works mutual-aid agreements, on-call carpentry and painting services, ADA-compliant swing replacement at Sims Park, emergency-notification service, HR software renewal, streetscape elements, library schematic-design authorization and other items; Councilwoman Haynes supported the motion and the council carried it by voice vote.

Councilman Mandelbomb also moved to enact ordinances numbered 1838, 1839 and 1840; each motion was supported by Council President Pro Tim Hog and each motion carried with no recorded discussion.

The council approved multiple travel-expense reports for city officials, including a report for Charles Meno for travel to a policy conference and a travel report for Mayor Kinson Cyber for an international event; those motions were moved and supported by council members and carried by voice vote.

All motions recorded in the meeting were approved by the council without recorded dissent. Several items were characterized by the clerk as routine or previously discussed; council members asked for no pulls from the consent agenda and voted to adopt the items together. No fiscal details beyond item descriptions were debated on the record at this meeting; specific procurement or contract award amounts were not stated in the motions as read aloud.
