• Bid waiver for media production and cable television equipment management services (I‑5): Council approved a bid waiver to transition a part‑time media role to a contractual services arrangement to preserve institutional knowledge and provide fair market compensation. Motion passed by roll call.

Motion carried by roll call.

All recorded roll‑call votes on these items were unanimous among members present. For items where a formal motion and roll call were recorded, the council’s actions will be reflected in the minutes and posted materials ahead of the May 11 meeting.
