Procedural notes: Where a recorded mover/second appears in the meeting transcript that identification is reflected above; when the transcript indicated only roll calls or voice votes, outcomes are recorded as reported. Several items (notably the retroactive HSA question and supplemental pay distribution) were left for additional staff work or future ordinance language and therefore require follow‑up.
For documentation and verification, the transcript segments tied to these votes are listed below.
