Notes: Several votes are reported in the transcript as “the motion passes with 7 ayes” or similar. One vote (impact-assistance reallocation) recorded a lone nay (Council Member Debarati Martinez). Some transcript lines contain numeric garbling; where that occurs the article notes the council’s stated outcome rather than relying on the corrupted digits.
