Notes Where roll-call names were recorded in the transcript, they are reflected in council minutes and the official clerk’s roll-call records. If the transcript omitted a mover or seconder for a particular regular-meeting motion, that field is noted as not specified. Several finance and contract amounts were discussed in committee—staff is to provide final contract language and exact dollar amounts for mayoral signature.
