Procedural notes: Several items were called special, some items had no public cards, and the council noted a pending loss of quorum later in the morning and therefore moved to continue lengthy public comment to Sept. 19 where necessary. Where the transcript did not record a mover or a full motion text, the entry above notes that information as not specified in the record.
