Speaker 3, a council member, told the meeting: "We do, the first reading of the ordinance to adopt the, amendment to the personnel, pay scale." Speaker 3 said the council will hold a second reading on Jan. 5 and "then we'll get it published that Saturday, and it will be official after that." The announcement did not include details of the proposed pay-scale changes.

The meeting otherwise handled routine business by voice vote. The presiding officer opened the meeting and members approved the minutes (motion from Denver, second by Pudgy). The council also ratified bills included in the emailed packet (motion by the mayor, second by Denver). The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn was carried by voice vote.

No departmental staff presented detailed fiscal analyses or the ordinance text during this session; council members did not read the ordinance’s sections aloud in the recorded remarks. The transcript shows the schedule for the next reading and publication but does not record a formal vote on the ordinance itself. The next procedural step is the Jan. 5 meeting, when the council is slated to take up the second reading.
