The Valley Center City Council approved a series of motions by voice vote during the meeting. Major actions recorded in the minutes follow.
- Prairie Lakes Phase 5 professional services agreement with SEH, not to exceed $127,900: motion made, seconded and carried by voice vote. (Presenter: Brent Clark, SEH.)
- Amber Ridge Phase 1 construction contract award: council approved awarding the Amber Ridge Phase 1 construction contract. In the presentation staff referred to Pareto Construction Services as the contractor; the motion text in the minutes records the motion as awarding to "Prado Construction LLC" in the motion language. The motion was made and seconded and carried by voice vote. (Amount recorded in motion: $1,819,969.75.)

- Ordinance 1440-25 (replacement ordinance to vacate portion of Avenue A, now called C Street): council waived first reading and approved the ordinance; staff explained the action corrects missing attachments from an earlier published ordinance.

Most motions were approved by voice vote and recorded as "motion carried" in the minutes. The minutes show movers and seconds for some motions (for example, the Prairie Lakes motion was moved by the council member identified in the record as speaker 2 and seconded by speaker 6); however, roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript and outcomes were approved by voice vote.
