Notable votes: a plan development district denial was upheld (upholding Planning Commission denial, vote recorded 22 yes, 1 abstention, 1 present); other rezonings and district development plans passed with typical tallies ranging from 21–24 yes votes.
Collective bargaining and contracts: Item 48 (Teamsters-affiliated EMS contract) and later new-business assignments for collective bargaining ratifications were advanced or assigned to committee.
Appointments: Mayor Craig Greenberg submitted appointments to various boards (Community Action Partnership, workforce boards and fire protection district boards), some requiring council committee review.
