How votes were recorded

Several routine and procurement motions passed by voice vote with the mayor calling for “aye” and recording the motion as passed. Two ordinances on second reading—the personnel amendment affecting 911 staffing and the property tax levy—were adopted by roll‑call votes recorded in the minutes. The meeting minutes show affirmative roll‑call votes for council members present for those two ordinances.

What the council did not do

Council did not adopt the budget amendment ordinance at this meeting; staff presented the ordinance for a first reading and explained carryover items, ARPA and other project funding. The council scheduled further review and the ordinance requires a later vote.
