Nut graf: The meeting’s votes were predominantly routine procedural and intergovernmental items rather than new local policy changes. The CTR plan was the most substantive policy vote and is covered in a separate article.
Voting and motions: Where recorded, votes were announced on the floor. For some motions the transcript records the outcome but not the full mover/second names; where mover/second were not specified in the transcript, the record here notes that information as not specified.
Ending: Council directed staff to proceed with implementation steps tied to the adopted plan and contract extension; staff will bring any contract closeouts or grant details back to council as needed.
