Procedural notes: Several items were called special to allow public comment. Where public testimony was offered and the item required two separate votes (for example plan amendments and related ordinances), the council complied with the required multiple-roll-call process. Several members asked that items be continued to allow staff responses or the presence of department representatives.

The council adjourned after a standard round of requests for excused absences and memorials.
