Vote tallies recorded where available.
The London City Council took votes on multiple measures during the meeting. Summary of outcomes:

- Resolution 132-26 (revising job descriptions) — Adopted 6–1 after council rejected an amendment to remove the street superintendent from the ordinance (amendment failed 1–6; adoption vote 6–1).

- Resolution 134-26 (authorize safety service director to advertise an RFQ for NCA and TIF advisors) — Adopted; council discussed using TIF funds or developer contributions to pay advisor fees.
- Resolution 136-26 (authorize advertising for bids and entering contract for Park Avenue parking-lot resurfacing, not to exceed $225,000) — Council moved to bypass three-reading rule and adopted the resolution in the same meeting (vote recorded as affirmative across council roster present).
Votes recorded in the minutes show some split decisions (notably the 1–6 failure on the amendment associated with 132-26), while several measures were adopted unanimously or by broad majorities.
