Routine approvals: the committee approved invoices and p-card reconciliations by voice vote.
Each committee action is procedural or operational in nature; several items were recorded as “no cost to the city” because agreements assign responsibility for construction, maintenance or services to external partners. Bills that were held will return for further consideration or public hearing as noted.
