Where motions and file numbers were unclear in the transcript, items appear with the file numbers as stated in the committee record or were marked "not specified" where the transcript did not give a definitive number. All listed items were moved and approved in committee by voice vote; the transcript shows "hearing no objections" or equivalent language for each adopted item.
Aldermen moved many of the confirmations and resolutions; most motions were moved by committee members on the floor (movers recorded in the transcript where specified). Several items will proceed to further processing (title/recording, certified survey maps, PILOT execution, or full council) as noted in staff remarks.
