Notes: Where the transcript recorded roll-call votes, the five council members listed above are recorded as voting yes. For at least one item (the beach concessions resolution) the meeting transcript indicates the item was moved and adopted but the public-comment portion does not include the full roll-call in that section; staff files and the official minutes should be consulted for exact signed contract dates and the final executed lease documents.
