Votes at a glance: general orders adopted; two introductions recorded with separate tallies

At the April 30 stated meeting the New York City Council adopted items on its general orders calendar and recorded several notable vote tallies.

The clerk announced the general orders were adopted on the floor and stated: "All items on today's general order calendar are adopted by a vote of 50 in the affirmative and 0 in the negative," while noting exceptions for two introductions. Intro 2-60A was adopted by a recorded vote of 44 in the affirmative and 6 in the negative, and Intro 6-93A was adopted by a recorded vote of 43 in the affirmative and 7 in the negative.

Earlier in the session, land use call-ups were adopted in a roll-call sequence; the clerk announced the land use call-ups had passed 48-0 on that record vote.

What the tallies mean: most items coupled on the general orders calendar passed with broad support; the separate recorded tallies indicate that specific introductions attracted opposition on the floor. The meeting record lists which members voted no on particular introductions; the clerk’s roll-call entries provide the official record of each member’s vote.
