Alders record unanimous 'aye' votes on a closed-session approval; transcript omits specifics

Alders (meeting) · January 26, 2026

Summary

After moving into closed session, a committee member moved to approve an item and a roll-call vote recorded "Aye" from Alders Tolman, Schaffer, McGuire and Truhart; the open transcript does not disclose what was approved.

After the meeting entered closed session on two agenda items, a committee member said, "I'll make a motion to approve," and the clerk took a roll-call vote resulting in four recorded 'Aye' votes.

The transcript records the clerk announcing each name and the response: Alder Tolman — "Aye"; Alder Schaffer — "Aye"; Alder McGuire — "Aye"; Alder Truhart — "Aye." The Chair pronounced, "And that passes." The public transcript provides the motion language only as "I'll make a motion to approve" and does not include the motion's text or indicate whether the approval applied to the TID 7 funding request, the cell-tower ground-lease discussion, or both.

Because the substantive discussion and any motion text occurred in closed session, the open record limits what the public can verify: the meeting voted to approve a matter in closed session, and the roll-call as recorded in the transcript was unanimous among the four named alder members.
