The transcript records that Councilmembers Jerry Swets, Anne Oster and Beth Hernandez were absent for the meeting.
No debate or amendments were recorded on the ordinance during the meeting. The council’s action at this meeting was a formal approval on first (and only recorded) consideration; the transcript does not record additional readings, effective date language, or implementation steps attached to Ordinance 1872.
Because the council approved the ordinance at a special meeting, staff or the town clerk typically would prepare and publish the ordinance text and any effective-date notice in the minutes or on the town website; those implementation steps were not discussed on the record in this transcript.
