Several items were severed for discussion (notably item 3) and then recorded individually by roll call. A handful of ordinances were passed on first reading and will proceed through the city's legislative sequence.
Documentation: The clerk read titles, roll calls were recorded for items with discussion, and the meeting transcript captures the votes listed here. If a specific ordinance or resolution number is required for official record-keeping, the board clerk's office maintains the ordinance/resolution numbers and full texts.
