Several other routine administrative items and interlocal agreements were approved by unanimous vote. Where the meeting record included a vote tally the clerk recorded "motion passes 6 to 0." A small number of appointments and routine items were approved without a roll-call tally explicitly read into the record; those are identified below as "tally not specified" where applicable.

Full documentation and adopted ordinances will be available in the city clerk's office and on the city's website. No major land-use controversies or contested votes were recorded during the meeting.
