Vote tallies in the meeting transcript are sometimes presented inconsistently; where numeric tallies were clearly stated in the audio/transcript they are noted above (for example, consent agenda approval is recorded as 8-0). Where the transcript records a vote without a clear or consistent numeric tally, this summary reports the council’s recorded outcome (approved, tabled, opened/closed) without assigning a numeric count.
