Malden City Council’s Consent Agenda approved from Tuesday, May 5 meeting

The Malden City Council approved the following Consent Agenda from its most recent meeting, Tuesday evening, May 5 in the Malden City Council Chamber. A consent agenda is a board meeting practice that bundles routine, noncontroversial and procedural items — such as minutes, reports and standard renewals — into a single agenda item. It is approved with one motion and one vote, saving time for strategic discussions.

The Malden City Council began using the consent agenda practice in 2024. The Malden School Committee also uses the Consent Agenda practice as of this legislative year.
