• Routine approvals: invoices, interdepartmental transfers and p‑card transactions were approved by committee. A waiver of rules was granted to allow a PLI p‑card payment of $13,000.50 to Uniform Construction UCC for required state code fees (payment exceeds the $5,000 p‑card limit). Invoices for a Parks & Recreation caricature artist (Vince Ornato) were questioned and budget staff were asked to verify amounts.
All items above received a committee recommendation to advance; several items require additional project detail to satisfy members' requests before full council final votes.
