Key roll-call outcomes from the Dec. 2025 final budget hearing:

- Grouping motion: Council voted 7–0 to group amendments 1 through 6 for discussion so the council could consider the proposals together.

- Rescind (amendments 1, 3, 5): After debate about feasibility of full-year hires, council voted 7–0 to rescind the three year-long amendment scenarios and limit consideration to six-month options.

- Vote on grouped six-month scenarios (2, 4, 6): After additional discussion and competing substitute proposals, the grouped six-month amendments failed, 5 against and 2 in favor.

- Substitute motions to move money (Councilman Callahan): Several later motions to reallocate fire overtime and cash-balance funds to cover four six-month firefighter positions were presented and failed on recorded roll calls.

- Proposed increase to real-estate tax revenue ($331,479): A motion to raise real-estate tax revenue to fund the four six-month positions was brought forward and failed on a 4–3 roll call.

Votes are recorded in full in council minutes and were taken by roll call in open session. Advertised final readings remain scheduled for Dec. 16; any future changes that would increase recurring expenditures or change millage would require proper advertising and statutory steps before enactment.
