The Columbia City Common Council recorded several formal actions during its Jan. 13, 2026 meeting:

- Policy 5.9 (public safety personal days adjusted for 12‑hour shift schedules) was adopted after a motion by Brent and second by Jennifer; the transcript reports the vote was unanimous.
- Policy 3.14 (immigration reform/control act language as referenced in the packet) was adopted after a motion by Ryan and second by Brent; the transcript reports unanimous approval.
- An overtime flex item was tabled and not acted on at the meeting.
- A motion to approve Order 2026‑1 on first reading (rezoning of a parcel at 875 N State Road 109) was made by Ryan and seconded by Brent; the provided transcript records the motion but does not include a final vote.
Where the transcript does not include a recorded roll call or tally, the articles above mark the outcome as "not specified" or use the meeting’s shorthand (for example, "unanimous") where that language appears in the record. Records and minutes maintained by the city clerk should be consulted for formal roll‑call results and complete tally details.
