Notes and process context: Several recorded motions were the result of extended policy debate and public comment. Where the transcript did not clearly identify a specific mover on the audio record, the record above records the second or notes the mover as not specified to avoid misattribution. For motions that required subsequent ordinance text or staff follow-up, staff were directed to return to council with implementing language or reports.
