Procedural notes: Most roll call votes recorded aldermen's names; the mayor did not cast roll call votes. Where recorded, vote tallies match the roll calls as read into the record. The meeting adjourned at 7:44 p.m.
The board did not set final budgets or additional implementation deadlines for the passed measures beyond authorizations recorded in the ordinances; staff will carry out next steps under the usual administrative processes.
