The City Council recorded motions and approvals on several administrative items during the meeting, including approval of the consent agenda, committee and commission appointments, and motions related to capital projects and employee housekeeping measures.

Key items recorded in the meeting transcript excerpt
- Consent agenda: The transcript records the council taking the consent agenda, with the chair saying, "Okay. So all in favor of the consent agenda, say aye." The excerpt captures vocal assent but a formal roll-call is not shown in the excerpt.
- Committee and commission appointments: The council accepted ballots for a new planning commissioner and three members of the energy/advisory committee; the meeting shows a motion and a voice approval: "In favor of accepting all of the ballots for both of the positions, say aye. Aye. Any opposed?" That vote was recorded as passed by voice in the excerpt.
- Final payment recommendation to S and W Underground for Collins waterline upgrade: A council member moved to recommend final payment to S and W Underground; the transcript records discussion and the subsequent voice approval in the excerpt. The motion language in the packet supplied to council and the engineer's support are referenced during discussion.
- Employee compensation housekeeping and employee handbook update (Resolution): The council considered a personnel housekeeping item and the employee handbook draft update. The meeting records a motion and a voice vote: "All in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed?" The excerpt indicates the resolution passed.
- OSU/land-conservation planning proposal: A motion was made on the agenda item to approve OSU work on land-conservation planning. The transcript captures the motion but the provided excerpt does not include a recorded vote; the outcome is therefore not specified in the segment.

Notes on votes and documentation
- Where the transcript shows only a voice motion and assent, the excerpt does not always include a formal roll-call tally. For motions where the excerpt shows explicit "All in favor..." vocal assent, the article records the council voice approval as passed in the excerpt.
- Where a motion was made but the excerpt does not contain the resulting vote (for example the OSU proposal motion in the provided segment), the article marks the vote outcome as not specified and lists the motion's presence in the actions summary.

Ending: For each action taken by voice in the transcript excerpt, the council chair called for "aye" and recorded assent; motions lacking recorded votes in this excerpt should be verified against the official minutes or the full meeting record for formal roll-call tallies.
