After the Public Safety Headquarters update, the council proceeded through routine business and approved a series of confirmatory votes, grants and traffic orders during its Feb. 24 meeting.

Highlights
- The council approved a confirmatory appropriation referenced in the record as "20 20 four‑five‑nine," described by the clerk as a $1,000,000 appropriation for preliminary work on the new Swan Elementary School. Councilor Harris made the motion and Councilor McCarthy seconded; the clerk recorded unanimous yes votes from the nine council members present.
- The council approved a second confirmatory order, recorded as "20 24 0 9 6," by the same process; the clerk recorded an affirmative roll call.
- A gift of $500 from Elizabeth Hachi to the DARE program (item "20 25 0 2 3" in the record) was approved by voice/roll call after a motion by Councilor McCarthy and second by Councilor DeBono.
- The council voted in committee recommendations on multiple traffic and parking items reported out by the Ordinance Committee (Chair Liang). The meeting record shows roll‑call approval for a series of traffic items (handicap parking designations, stop signs, no‑parking restrictions and school pickup/drop‑off restrictions) listed in the clerk’s agenda and approved by recorded roll calls.

Context and procedure
Clerk statements in the meeting identify each item by its docket number and the council used standard motions to approve committee recommendations. Councilors Harris and McCarthy were recorded as mover and seconder for the first appropriations item; subsequent roll calls for votes on committee traffic recommendations list each councilor’s vote. The record shows unanimous or strongly affirmative results on the routine items called during the meeting.
