The result was unanimous, 4–0.
No public comment was offered on the budget resolutions at the meeting. The council did not attach additional conditions to the resolutions during the discussion and recorded the actions for inclusion in the official minutes.
Copies of the adopted resolutions will be filed with the meeting record.
