Notes on voting record: The transcript records voice votes with the response "I" and repeated "motion carries" language for each item; the meeting did not produce a roll‑call tally of individual council member yes/no votes in the transcript. For items where numbers or clerk roll calls are required for legal effect, the official minutes or signed ordinance/resolution documents should be consulted for the complete record.
