Where the council took formal roll-call votes, the meeting record in the transcript reports approvals by voice vote and “aye” responses; named movers and seconds are not always recorded in the excerpt for every item. For items requiring statutory follow-up (for example, the Roundhouse substantial-completion advertising period), staff will carry out required notices and return to council with final documentation.
