On June 9, 2025, the Charlotte City Council held a business meeting covering a range of topics including street vending policy, community area planning feedback, a public hearing on Spectrum Center financing, adoption of the FY2026 budget, and several consent and business items. The meeting included a closed session. Key decisions included approval of the FY2026 budget (unanimous), denial of a $6 million affordable housing development, and extension of the interim city attorney's contract.
So um thank you everyone for being here today is our at the beginning of our agenda we have a very um an agenda for the beginning of our program which is the consent and action review and we'll call that to order and we have put uh I believe we have a quorum. We do. And so we do have a quorum. And so with that, let's begin with our introductions, and we'll start with we'll give with our city clerk. Billy Tons, Deputy City Clerk. Anthony Fox Interim City Attorney. Good evening, Renee Johnson, and I'm honored to represent District Four. Good evening, Dimpolage Mara at large. Dante Anderson, Mayor Pro Tem, District One. By Lauz Mayor. Malcolm Graham, District Two. Ed Drigs, District Seven. Edward Peacock, District Six. Good evening, Lawana Mayfield, Council Member at large. Well, thank you for everyone being here, and thank you for those that are attending and watching us either virtually or in person. Um, we really appreciate when we have participation like this for our community and our decisions. So um we usually will we will begin our first items with our consent items. Are there any consent items that the council would like to have for a separate vote? Or any comment. A separate vote for fifteen. Yes, and four, and I had questions on our consent items twenty-five and twenty-six. Um the motion ma'am. I'm sorry, Miss Johnson. Thank you. Yes. 20. Yes. All right. Oh, thank you. Item number 20. Okay. All right. So the first item, Miss Mayfield, would you like to take the first item of item 15? Yes, all right. Item 15. Engineering Services for Queens Westfield Storm Drainage Improvement Project. Yes, and my computer is now acting up. So the question that I had on here for item 15 was as far as this proposal in front of us for an amendment. This amendment is for an additional $900,000, which makes the total cost of this project a million 300 now that we're going into actual design phase. We identified initially two partners through the CBI program. So I wanted to get clarification regarding the percentages that are on here now that this is an additional 900,000. I would think that now that we're actually going into the actual work with design and construction, and that this the company we initially identified for the Queens Westfield storm drainage, that we would be able to identify additional opportunities. And Marie did share. Thank you. Um Councilmember Mayfield. So this was a separate agreement. It's an amending, but like Miss Mayfield said, it's for a different set of scope of services. So they did go back to the vendor, and but this 9.65% is based on the work of additional work of this scope for the amendment. Thank you, Marie. I just wanted clarification on that item.
