Ask why Corpus Christi pulled budget item from consent

Context: Minutes describe the item as 'inadvertently pulled from the consent agenda' on April 28, then it passed 9-0 with zero Council or public comment on both the April 28 and May 5 readings — an unexplained anomaly in an otherwise routine budget item.

Recommended: Request the agenda-prep records showing why this ordinance was inadvertently pulled from the April 28 consent agenda, then check whether other items that night suffered the same clerical slip — a repeat points to a breakdown in how staff sorts routine business before it reaches Council.
