Providence City Council approves items 3–6 on second reading in roll‑call vote

The Providence City Council on Monday, July 14, voted to waive further reading and pass agenda items 3 through 6 for the second time by roll call, the council clerk recorded.

"Motion to waive the reader of item 3 and 2" (waive reading for items 3–6 and pass for the second time) was made by Majority leader Espinal; the motion was seconded (second not specified in the transcript) and taken to a roll‑call vote.

The clerk read votes for multiple members. For item 3 the clerk recorded 11 ayes, 2 nays and 1 absent; the transcript explicitly records Councilwoman Peterson as voting "Nay" and Councilman Oscar Vargas as voting "Nay" on item 3, with Councilwoman Anna Vargas absent. For item 4 the clerk recorded 12 ayes, 2 nays and 1 absent; the transcript explicitly records Councilman Oscar Vargas as voting "Nay" on item 4 and lists one additional "nay" in the tally but does not attribute that second "nay" to a named councilor in the provided excerpt. For items 5 and 6 the clerk recorded 13 ayes, 1 nay and 1 absent; the transcript does not attribute the single recorded "nay" on those items to a specific named member in the excerpt provided.

After the roll calls the clerk announced: "The motion carries. The matters are approved for the second time on a roll call vote." The transcript does not include the substantive text or descriptions of items 3–6, nor does it show any amendments or subsequent actions tied to these items in the excerpt provided.

Because the meeting transcript excerpt does not include the ordinance/resolution titles, numbers, or explanatory text for items 3–6, the record here lists those contents as "not specified" and records only the procedural outcome documented at the meeting.
