• Bill 3563 — Commercial solicitation ordinance amendment: Council approved second reading 8–0. The amendment updates municipal code chapter 605 to strengthen rules for commercial solicitation and adds revocation authority.

Second reading passed 8–0.
• Bill 3565 — Temporary liquor‑sales exemption tied to state statute during FIFA World Cup hours: Council approved a targeted exemption to the state provision cited ("state statute 3 11.2026" as read into the record) to retain the city’s normal liquor‑sales cutoff for a specified event period; second reading passed 8–0. The chief of public safety had advised the council about public‑safety impacts of extended sales hours.
• Bills 3566 and 3567 — Main Circle acquisition financing and management: See separate article for details. Both measures passed 6–2 on final roll calls.
The measures approved without lengthy amendment were presented on second reading by committee chairs; roll‑call tallies and brief explanations were read into the record. Where ordinances were amended on the floor (bill 3564), council used a blue‑sheet amendment and then voted the amended language.
