Key votes and formal actions at the Akron Public Safety Committee meeting:

No ordinances, budget appropriations, contracts or appointments were approved at this meeting. Committee members also discussed scheduling and parliamentary questions about withdrawing motions and the law department’s presence; the chair kept the vehicular‑pursuits item on time and adjourned the meeting.
