Notes on procedure and missing details: The transcript records many roll-call tallies but does not always list each member’s individual vote names for every item. Where the transcript did not provide specific dollar amounts, ordinance numbers, or mover/second names, this summary marks those details as not specified. The council also recorded multiple continuances to later meeting dates (for example, several items continued to Sept. 19, Oct. 3 or Oct. 10).
