Notes on vote tallies and records: The meeting transcript includes roll-call tallies for several items; where the transcript lists individual roll-call names and votes the article uses those statements. For some routine items the transcript records a unanimous voice vote or clerk confirmation; those are reported here as adopted/approved or filed. If a specific numeric tally or individual votes beyond those recorded in the transcript are required, city clerk minutes and the official posted roll-call record should be consulted for the definitive vote roster.
