At its Nov. 5 study session, the Livonia City Council reviewed and placed on the Nov. 17 regular meeting consent agenda a full slate of routine items ranging from sidewalk waivers and board reappointments to IT licenses and designated representatives for intergovernmental bodies.

Several short items were presented and moved to consent with little debate: a sidewalk-waiver request for a new home at 18723 Laurel Drive (city engineering supported the waiver), reappointments of Melissa Kerlock and Nicholas Lamaco to the Livonia Brownfield Redevelopment Authority for three-year terms expiring 11/24/2028, and authorization to waive the sealed bid process to purchase Microsoft Office LTSC 2024 licenses for the police department using state contract pricing. The council also moved a housekeeping resolution to designate Benjamin Greer, JD, CPA, as the city's voting representative at the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority annual meeting.

Most of these items were presented as consent items with staff justification (state contract pricing or cooperative purchasing, prior service on boards, or ordinance-based authority). The study session is advisory and sets the Nov. 17 agenda; final approvals and any contract executions will be recorded in the official minutes and the Nov. 17 meeting.
