(Voice votes: ayes.)

Procedure and votes

- Most consent items and routine resolutions were adopted by voice vote after a request for questions. No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the minutes for these consent items except where noted.

- Item numbers and motions: Motion and second for consent items were recorded on the record for each item where a member moved adoption and another seconded; the clerk called for ayes and recorded no opposition on the public record for those items.

What was not decided or requires follow‑up

- Several items were the subject of executive‑session discussion prior to public action (the lease and the settlement). The council approved resolutions reflecting those discussions but provided no additional public details beyond what was included on the agenda and in the resolutions.

This summary covers the council’s consent‑calendar adoptions and the individual votes taken on routine business during the Oct. 21 meeting. Additional budgetary or implementation motions associated with these items will be tracked when staff return with program details.
