Notes
- Several items were adopted as part of the consent agenda and therefore were approved by a single voice vote; the packet lists specific dollar amounts for claims and payroll (claims vouchers: $4,468,617.69; payroll checks: $3,525,082.26). The meeting transcript records voice votes but does not include roll‑call tallies for those items.

Ending
Council members adopted the consent agenda and then proceeded to debate and adopt Ordinance 825 and Resolution 2025‑1. Several council members asked staff to follow up on implementation details and to provide reports on transitions and schedule effects.
