Votes of note: Item 7A (PD amendment for Lone Star Green Homes) was moved by Councilmember Moore and seconded by Councilmember Thomas and approved unanimously. Item 7B (Bobtown PD) was moved by Councilmember Moore, seconded by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dutton, amended to require a construction-management plan and approved 7–2 (Councilmembers Scobiano and Tran voted no). The council also approved Josh Palondo to the Bridal Services Advisory Committee and Christina Godfrey to the All Abilities Committee.
