Notes on vote records: The transcript records motions and that the motions carried; it does not consistently provide complete roll‑call tallies or the names of motion seconders for every item. Where a mover or seconder was not explicitly captured in the transcript, this summary records the motion text and outcome but does not assign a mover or seconder.
Ending: Several items were returned to or coordinated with staff for follow‑up: staff were asked to provide corrected fiscal numbers where needed, solicit comparative contractor proposals for Engineering Services, and to provide clearer public communications for water supply data and festival logistics.
