At the same meeting the Superior City Council cleared several routine and higher-profile items by voice vote.

Ordinances: The council adopted a group of ordinances (21 42 40 through 21 42 44) that amend city traffic-code schedules and procedures related to accessible parking zones, sidewalk-blocking regulations and penalties and processes for creating accessible parking. The clerk read the titles and the council adopted them as a package; the motion was made by Councilor Ludwig and seconded by Councilor Sullivan.

Transportation: The council approved an amended bus service agreement with the Duluth Transit Authority (DTA) intended to expand DTA’s role in getting students to school. Staff said the amendment involves little to no new city expense, though it could reduce fare revenue if some riders become fare-exempt; staff estimated the annual revenue loss at "no more than a few thousand dollars." The motion to approve was by Councilor Van Sickle, second by Councilor Bender.

Finance and development: Council approved a resolution to issue $4,250,000 in general obligation refunding bonds (Series 2021B), a development/grant/lease agreement for the Fraser Shipyards project, and authorized filing a Harbor Assistance Program grant application with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Those motions were presented in sequence and carried by voice votes.

Licenses and other business: The council approved miscellaneous licenses and several Class B liquor and beer license matters, including approval for Jamrock Cultural Restaurant LLC (1901 Tower Ave) and temporary premises amendments for The Main Club (September 3–6) and Jimmy’s Saloon (August 6–9). A lease amendment for the Billings Park Civic Center was postponed to the next meeting by motion of Councilor Sweeney.

Vote format: Most items were adopted by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript; where staff gave numerical estimates (for bond refinance savings and estimated DTA revenue loss), those figures were presented during committee reports or staff remarks.
