It took the Claremont City Council just over 30 minutes to conclude its business last Tuesday, which ended with the swift passage of the consent calendar containing just seven items. No public hearings, ordinances, or administrative items came before the council.

With a unanimous 5-0 votes, the council:

Extended its agreement with San Bernardino County for landfill airspace at the Mid-Valley Landfill in Rialto through the end of 2030.

It appropriated $55,100 from its sanitation fund to cover the anticipated costs.
