Outcome: Council confirmed the mayor’s appointments as amended during the meeting and adopted Resolution 2025‑3.

Notes and caveats: Many actions were taken by unanimous roll call or by consensus to receive and file reports (for example, the independent audit and the budget‑to‑actual presentation were received and filed). Where the meeting record contained an explicit roll‑call, the minutes note individual affirmative responses; where the council gave direction or consensus (for receive‑and‑file items or staff direction), no separate roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.

If readers need the precise motion language, vote tallies by member, or copies of the adopted resolutions and memoranda, staff indicated procurement and grant documents will be posted to the city’s public records and the clerk will provide the formal signed documents.
