Chair announces draft resolution not adopted after negative vote by a permanent council member

The chair announced the result of a vote on a draft resolution, saying, "The result of the voting is as follows: 11 votes in favor, two votes against, two abstentions." The chair added that "the draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the council."

Why it matters: the chair’s declaration indicates the draft resolution did not carry because a permanent member of the council cast a negative vote, a procedural fact the chair read aloud at the close of the balloting. The transcript does not identify the text of the draft resolution, the mover or seconder, or the names of individual voters.

What happened: the chair read the tally and then declared the draft resolution not adopted. The available record lists the counts (11 in favor, two against, two abstentions) and attributes the outcome to a negative vote by a permanent member; no further motions, amendments, or follow-up steps were recorded in the provided transcript.

Next steps: the transcript ends after the chair’s announcement; no additional actions, scheduling, or instructions appear in the record provided.
