Vote records in the transcript were generally voice votes with unanimous "aye" responses. The council's roll call at the start of the meeting established attendance: Mayor Gupton, Mayor Pro Tem Vance, Council members Singleton, Behringer and Matthews present; Council member Dellinger excused. The transcript does not include recorded individual roll-call tallies for each motion, so the article lists recorded outcomes and, where the mover/second were not audibly identified, marks them as not specified.
