Notes and context - Several items (ordinance first readings) require additional procedural steps (formal second reading or statutory notice) before final effect. For example, the annexation order will be subject to statutory notification to the county and an effective date after that process. - Resolution 2025012702 (Bluegrass Art Center utility reimbursement) was approved on the basis that the reimbursement is required by the lease; staff noted a budget amendment is required to fund the amount. - Where the transcript did not record a named mover or seconder, the record noted the motion and a second; those entries are shown as "not specified" rather than attributed.
