The committee recorded a series of formal approvals during the meeting. Below is a concise list of motions, outcomes and the immediate next steps recorded in the meeting minutes. Where the minutes did not record a roll-call tally, the outcome is listed as approved by voice vote as recorded in the transcript.
Votes and outcomes

Staff to incorporate agreed language into the side letter.
Notes on vote records: The transcript records motions, seconds and multiple "all in favor" voice votes for the items above but does not include numeric roll-call tallies for most votes. Where the meeting referenced statutory protections (for law enforcement) and collective bargaining agreements, staff noted those procedures remain in effect and union-covered employees follow negotiated processes.
