(Agenda item M5)
Notes on some votes - Several items had recusal notices because councilmembers live inside specific LMDs; votes were taken with recusals recorded on the public record. - Where the transcript did not name the individual mover or seconder, the clerk recorded the formal motion and the roll-call tallies. The meeting minutes show outcomes and roll-call results for each item above.
Ending: The council took these actions following public hearings, committee referrals and public comment. Staff were assigned follow-up tasks on implementation and legal monitoring where relevant.
