Council President White led roll call at the start of the meeting and announced that multiple procedural motions passed by recorded vote. Motions to adopt grouped resolutions in the 25-61 through 25-74 range were moved and seconded and recorded by roll call.

The council then recessed into executive session to discuss two items and said it would return as soon as possible.
