Notes on procedure and items moved to agenda
- Multiple ordinances were added to the agenda for first reading during the Committee Work Session (for example, Ordinance Nos. 47‑20‑25, 48‑20‑25, 40‑9‑25 for police outfitting). Those additions were procedural first‑reading moves and do not reflect final adoption.
- Several items were presented for second or third reading only and were either adopted or carried forward for subsequent readings as noted during the meeting. For items introduced for second or third reading, the council recorded whether a vote that night was for adoption or that the item was "third reading only."
Where this account comes from: Roll calls and ordinance numbers were read and recorded on the meeting record by the Clerk; the clerk announced individual roll call responses during votes.
