The council also approved consent‑agenda appointments to the new Active Transportation Committee and reestablished terms for design‑review and other citizen committees. Several items were adopted by unanimous roll call; the Hillbrook rezoning drew the only split vote.
Next steps vary by item: some ordinances require administrative steps (for example, lodging‑tax notification to the state), Hillbrook will proceed with platting and covenant submittals as required, and the tree‑ordinance matter was removed and referred back to the Tree Commission for further review.
