- Fluoride ordinance (10.1) — First reading and motion to repeal chapter 9.26 (fluoridation of public water supplies) to conform county code with recently enacted state law. Vote passed (roll call recorded as 5–4). Next step: ordinance returns for second reading as required by code.
- County flag policy repeal (10.2) — Resolution to revoke countywide policy on display of flags on county property, to align with state preemption enacted by the legislature. Motion approved by voice vote.

- Capital improvement allocations (8.8) — Approval of $8.3 million in capital allocations including $1.5 million for updated facility condition assessments. Roll-call vote passed 6–3.
- LEED exception for Tenth East Senior Center (8.9) — Council approved a request to exempt that specific remodel from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold requirements after staff said the incremental cost would have added an estimated $2.3 million to the project; motion passed by voice vote.
- Consent agenda and routine approvals — The council approved consent items 4.1 through 7.1, including the April 1 council minutes and standard appropriation unit shifts.
- Meeting schedule change — The council approved cancellation of the April 22 meeting (notice filed by item 14.1).
How to read the tallies: Several items were recorded via roll call (capital allocations and the UFA restoration motion); others passed by voice vote. Where a roll call was recorded, the clerk captured individual member votes in the meeting record.
Ending: For items requiring additional action (for example, the fluoride-ordinance repeal and the capital-assessment procurement), staff said follow-up reports and second readings will appear on future agendas.
