What will the council talk about tonight?

Well, here’s a hint.  Tho’ I expect they will talk about more than this.

CONSENT AGENDA EXPLANATION

Please note that exclusions on this listing may change at the meeting.

Items may be added or taken off the list when the consent agenda is presented.

Additional Attachments:

Introduced from the Floor for Referral:

Legislative File No. 69107 – BY TITLE ONLY: Authorizing an amendment to a non-competitive contract with Alliant Energy Center for testing and vaccination services. (Alder Lindsay Lemmer, District 3)

  • Recommended Action: Refer to Finance Committee (01/10/22)

What is a consent agenda?

Typical consent agenda items are routine, procedural decisions, and decisions that are likely to be noncontroversial.

Examples include:

Routine matters such as appointments to committees;

Routine resolutions approving plans, improvements, etc.

Reports provided for information only;

Correspondence requiring no action.

Why is a consent agenda used?

The consent agenda is used by the Council to save meeting time and to help ensure that Council meetings focus on substantive topics that are worth discussion. Through the “bundling” process, the entire set of routine agenda items can be voted on in one action versus taking the time to vote on each individual item.

What is the exclusion list?

These are agenda items that alders have requested be taken off the consent agenda. The main reason an alder asks for an agenda item to be excluded is that they want to discuss/debate the item at the Council meeting.

Please note that public hearing items are never included on the exclusion list. They are specifically scheduled and taken up by the Common Council at 6:45 p.m.

TONIGHT’S CONSENT AGENDA EXCLUSIONS

Agenda Items #5 – #12 are PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS

Items requested for EXCLUSION:
47. Legislative File No. 68084 – Adopting the South Madison Plan as a supplement to the
Comprehensive Plan and directing staff to implement the recommendations contained
in the plan. (Report of Plan Commission – Alder Tag Evers, District 13)

Items INTRODUCED FROM THE FLOOR FOR REFERRAL:
Legislative File No. 69107 – BY TITLE ONLY: Authorizing an amendment to a non-competitive contract with Alliant Energy Center for testing and vaccination services. (Alder Lindsay Lemmer, District 3)

Recommended Action: Refer to Finance Committee (01/10/22), Common Council
(01/18/22)
o Reason for referral to the Finance Committee: The proposed resolution affects
the Public Health of Madison and Dane County budget, and because this
agreement was non-competitively selected and the total compensation will
exceed $50,000, approval is needed from the Common Council and the City
Finance Committee.
