No formal council business, votes, ordinances or budget actions were recorded in the transcript for this portion of the meeting; the record shows ceremonial recognitions, name readings and photo opportunities. Attendees were repeatedly told students who needed to leave because it was a school night were welcome to do so after receiving their awards.
The event concluded after the final group of junior and senior high students received certificates and photographs.
