City staff recommended that the Mesa City Council continue agenda item 4(f) until the Nov. 17 meeting to allow more time for discussion, and the council verbally indicated its support.

“Mister Butler, staff would like to recommend that council continue item 4 f until the November 17 meeting,” said Mister Butler, who told the council the continuance would allow further conversation at an upcoming study session. The transcript does not specify the subject matter of item 4(f).

Councilmember Adams said he supported the recommendation: “Yes, sir. I'm in favor of that.” The exchange in the meeting record indicates council consent but does not show a formal roll-call vote on the continuance.

Chief Butler told members the council will hold a study session Thursday at 7:30 a.m. to continue the conversation, and then return for the regular council meeting upstairs. The transcript records that schedule but does not attach a file, ordinance, or other materials to the item in the meeting text.

Other business at the short session consisted of councilmembers' reports on community outreach. Miss Pillsbury described attending multiple game-night events with public safety staff and speaking to third graders at Franklin Accelerated Academy and to classes at Benedictine University. Miss Go forth thanked Commander Rash and organizers for a Coffee with a Cop event and John Solanka for arranging the program. Council members also thanked Tim and Barb of Java Java for hosting a coffee event and noted attendance at a Westwood High School varsity and alumni basketball game.
