Motion to suspend the rules and place on final passage was made by Council Member McCormack, seconded by Council Member Spencer. Roll call on suspension: 16 ayes. Roll call on final passage: 16 yeas. Outcome: approved.
Second-reading emergency ordinances placed on final passage A group of departmental ordinances read in second reading was moved for suspension and final passage by Council Member Conwell and seconded by Council Member Spencer.

Resolutions Resolution 4 31 20 25 (recognizing April 2025 as Reentry Awareness Month) was moved and the transcript records a roll-call adoption with 16 yeas on the roll-call vote. Outcome: adopted.
Context and limits The transcript includes the roll-call tallies but does not record individual member votes in machine-readable tallies beyond the 16-yea statements; the meeting record shows unanimous recorded support on the items listed but does not provide additional debate text on each specific ordinance during the roll-call segments. For some items read earlier as "first reading" or "referred for administrative review," no final vote was recorded in the transcript and therefore are not listed here.
If reporters or stakeholders require the full vote-by-member roll-call entries or ordinance texts, those are available in the official minutes and legislation files maintained by the city's clerk.
