Where the transcript records a roll call, the recorded tally for the listed ordinances is 6-0 in favor. The transcript did not consistently record the named mover and seconder for each ordinance motion at the same line as the roll call; where a speaker said "I move," the record does not always attach a printed name to that line. The clerk performed roll calls and announced the yes votes and the final 6-0 tallies as shown above.
No ordinance was shown in the transcript as failing, tabled or postponed.
