Council confirmed a consolidated slate of nominees for city boards and commissions, including Jamal Boyin to the Community Corrections Advisory Board; reappointments to the Contract and Compliance Board; a reappointment to the Employee Benefit Board; Jackson Zitelland to the Farmers Market Board; multiple historical commission reappointments; and Whitney Weeks to the Transit Authority.

The confirmations were handled largely as a consolidated motion and were adopted without separate roll-call tallies for each nominee, though committee tallies were provided in the record.
