- Standing committee item on residency requirement: after extended presentation and debate, the commission approved a motion to lift the residency requirement for most UG employees while retaining residency for executive director‑level positions (range 19 and above) and police and fire chiefs and their deputies. The final vote was 6–5; the mayor cast the deciding vote after a 5–5 tie.
All recorded roll calls were conducted publicly; the clerk recorded votes on each motion.
