Procedural notes
- The board excused Supervisor Ronan by motion (moved by Supervisor Walton; seconded by Supervisor Melgar) with no objection.
- Many items were acted on by the clerk as "same house, same call," a procedural designation used when no members request further debate; detailed roll-call tallies were recorded on a subset of matters in the transcript.
Where vote tallies were recorded on the transcript, they are presented above; in other cases the transcript indicates passage without providing a specific roll-call breakdown in the excerpt. The board also approved several items on first reading, meaning additional readings or steps may follow according to the city’s legislative process.
