Notes: The meeting transcript records motions, seconds and statements that motions "carry" or "motion carries." Where the transcript lists exact dollar amounts or account totals, the reporting in the transcript is sometimes inconsistent; this summary reports outcomes as recorded but does not invent precise roll-call tallies or reconcile numeric transcription errors. Items that had more substantive discussion (taxi licensing and water-infrastructure items) are covered in separate articles.
