Procedural notes: Vice Mayor Alvarez moved the consent block; Councilmember McDonald seconded. The clerk recorded the roll call: Rogers, O'Krepski, McDonald (recusal on 13.9), Fleming, Benuelos, Vice Mayor Alvarez and Mayor Mark Stapp. Public commenters raised concerns about electric vehicle battery‑storage fires (item 13.3) and wildfire protection details (item 13.8). No councilmember requested items be pulled for separate discussion during the meeting.
Because these were routine items, council took action in a single block; staff will publish the executed contracts and grant documents as part of the city’s normal post‑meeting record.
