Summary

Houston City Council adopted minutes from Jan. 7–8 and approved several procedural motions to suspend rules and adjust the public‑comment speaker order; motions were made, seconded and the chair announced they passed.

The City Council adopted the minutes for the Jan. 7–8 meeting and approved procedural motions to alter the order of public speakers.

A motion to adopt the Jan. 7–8 minutes was made and seconded; the chair called for the vote and said, "Motion passes." Later, council members moved and seconded motions to suspend the rules and move individual speakers (Jacob Clemente, Paula Smith and others) to the top of one‑minute or three‑minute lists; those motions were also announced as passing after voice votes.

Why it matters: These are procedural actions that change the meeting schedule and speaker order for this session. The motions were recorded by the chair as passed by voice vote; no roll-call tallies or individual recorded votes appear in the transcript for these items.
