For all ordinances and the resolution the transcript records a motion, a second and the mayor’s call for “All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries.” The roll at the start of the meeting indicated five council members present (Mayor Martin; Councilwoman Morgan; Councilman Pickett; Councilman Bonner; Vice Mayor Carmelo). Where a mover/second was not named in the transcript, the motion is recorded as passed by voice vote. Items tabled earlier in the meeting (11a–c) were noted as postponed per the agenda call.
The council did not record detailed roll-call tallies in the transcript for each item beyond the mayor’s voice vote confirmation; the transcript indicates unanimous voice approvals for the passed items.
