Votes and roll calls: For items recorded with roll calls in the transcript, council members present and recorded included Larson, Spannbauer (also spelled variations in transcript), Bulow, Stevenson and Mughlauer (transcript name variations). Where a council member announced "present" rather than "aye," the minutes record that distinction (see Resolution 25-340). Where the transcript shows each member saying "Aye," the article records unanimous passage.
What was not acted on: Several new ordinances were introduced for first reading only (development overlays, street grade establishment, and parking regulation amendments), and the council did not take final votes on those items at this meeting.
Context: Council also handled public statements and non-action items earlier in the agenda, and later moved into a closed session.
