Council also approved the consent agenda and heard routine committee reports during the meeting. Where roll-call votes were reported in the transcript, the mayor or meeting clerk recorded “Yes” for items after roll calls; the transcript records items passing without listing full member-by-member tallies for every vote. The council recessed into an executive session at the end of the meeting to consider appointments to boards and commissions.
