Votes at a glance: Council introduces, holds and adopts multiple agenda items
Summary
The Syracuse City Council moved, held, withdrew and adopted numerous agenda items. This roundup lists each item number and the outcome recorded in the meeting transcript, including abstentions and held items.
The Syracuse City Council considered a large consent-style agenda and individual items during its meeting. The transcript records motions to introduce, hold, table, withdraw and adopt a series of numbered items (9–48). Below is a concise listing of each item and the outcome recorded in the meeting transcript.
• Item 9 — Withdrawn (the meeting record notes item 9 was withdrawn).
• Item 10 — Introduced and adopted; clerk called the roll and the item was approved.
• Item 11 — Introduced and adopted; Councilor Jones Rausser recorded as abstaining.
• Item 12 — Held (recorded as held by the council).
• Item 13 — Introduced and adopted (transcript records an "all in favor" vote).
• Item 14 — Introduced and adopted (transcript records an "all in favor" vote).
• Items 15–17 — Introduced and adopted (the transcript records roll-call votes and "all in favor").
• Item 18 — Held (recorded as held by the council).
• Item 19 — Introduced and tabled/"introducing table" noted in the record; legal guidance on voting down special permits was provided by the First Assistant Corporation Counsel (see below).
• Items 20–22 — Item 20 was objected to and not advanced at that time; Item 21 received objection and was not advanced; Item 22 (parking lot) was introduced and the record shows a roll-call vote in favor.
• Item 23 — The record notes the Planning Commission voted to deny the item; the council nonetheless introduced and adopted it by roll call.
• Items 24–26 — Introduced and adopted; the transcript records item 26 with a recorded opposition by Councilor Williams at the point of the roll call.
• Items 27–28 — Held.
• Items 29–31 — Introduced and adopted (the transcript records "all in favor" for these items).
• Item 32 — Introduced and tabled as a local law.
• Item 33 — Introduced and adopted; Item 34 was held until after a public hearing.
• Items 35–36 — Introduced and adopted (transcript records "all in favor").
• Item 37 — Introduced, discussed (honor for Tom Golisano) and adopted; council proceeded to roll call and approved the item.
• Items 38–40 — Item 38 held for committee; Items 39 and 40 introduced and adopted.
• Item 41 — Held. Item 42 introduced and adopted.
• Items 43–46 — Held.
• Waiver of the rules motion for the waiver agenda — moved and seconded as recorded.
• Items 47–48 (waiver agenda) — Introduced and adopted after the waiver motion was moved and seconded; roll call recorded in the transcript.
• Motion to adjourn — moved, seconded and carried at the end of the meeting transcript.
Where the transcript records objections, holds, abstentions or recorded opposition, those items are noted above. In many cases the clerk called the roll and the chair asked "All in favor?" with the transcript recording "Aye"; where the transcript explicitly recorded "unanimous" or an abstention/opposition, this summary notes that detail. The meeting record does not include full numerical roll-call tallies for every item; for items not explicitly tallied the transcript generally records the chair asking for "All in favor" followed by "Aye."
