How to interpret these outcomes: “Approved” indicates the council took a formal vote in favor and the action moves to the next administrative step (publication, forwarding to external officials, or implementation by city staff). Items listed as “pulled” were removed from the agenda or deferred for further staff work and will return at a later meeting.
