The San Luis City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 469 to amend the city code on council minutes so it aligns with Arizona's open‑meeting statute, ARS 38‑431.01(C)(4), staff said.
City Attorney Kaye McQuill explained the ordinance clarifies that city minutes will record individual votes as required by state law. McQuill also said several Arizona cities treat a council member's silence during a vote as an affirmative vote in their minutes; the ordinance language reflects that practice as described in clerk training and local examples.
Councilmember Luis Cabrera moved to approve the reading of Ordinance No. 469 by title only and the council then voted to adopt the ordinance. The vote to adopt was unanimous.
