Votes at a glance: Downtown Commission approves minutes, renaming recommendation, and elections
The Downtown Commission on April 15 took three recorded actions by voice vote.

Approve minutes: A motion to approve the minutes from the previous meeting was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and second but does not record individual roll‑call votes.

Renaming recommendation: The commission moved and seconded a resolution recommending that the city manager initiate community engagement to remove Cesar Chavez's name from downtown streets and signage and to pursue renaming by stakeholder consensus. The commission adopted a friendly amendment to correct wording and voted the recommendation approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tally is recorded.

Elections: The commission completed annual elections for chair and vice chair. A motion and second to reelect the chair passed by voice vote; a separate motion and second reelecting Kimberly Livingston as vice chair also passed by voice vote.

Notes: The transcript includes aye/no responses recorded during votes but does not include a formal roll‑call tally for these actions. Where the transcript lacks numerical tallies or explicit roll‑call votes, this summary marks that detail as not specified.
