How votes were recorded: most committee actions were taken by voice vote and recorded as an affirmative recommendation; where a hold or tabling was requested, council approved the hold by voice vote.

Next steps: items that were held will return to committee after the specified hold period with requested documentation (toolkit language, parcel maps, DPW maintenance plan or funding clarifications). Other recommended items will proceed through the council process for final adoption.
