Notes - Roll-call tallies are taken from the meeting transcript and reflect how the clerk read and recorded votes at the time. Where the transcript recorded a numeric tally without a full roll-call list, tallies are listed as recorded. - The ordinance and resolutions referred to at several points were described as "on the desk" during the meeting; the city clerk will manage procedural filings and publication requirements where required.
Ending Members directed staff and offices (CAO, CLA, City Clerk) to provide reports or complete procedural steps as noted for each item. Several items were continued to allow additional analysis and to meet clerical and ballot timelines.
