Record and next steps: Many of the items were on the consent calendar and were taken as “same house, same call.” Where required, ordinances passed on first reading and will proceed according to adoption rules. The Homekey purchase and bond issuance authorize staff to carry out the purchase and financings described in the resolutions.
