Councilperson Gilmore's answer (0:27:28) is not audible; the clerk announced 'Motion carries 9-0' (0:27:40), and the aye is recorded on that announcement, on Adam Hanford's decision of 2026-10-18.

Item 4.2 · second reading and public hearing · Adopted · 1:00:17

Final consideration and adoption. Gilmore abstained (2:24:10) and confirmed it when the clerk asked (2:24:17); Ridley abstained (2:34:44, again 2:37:52). After Gilmore's answer no call of Singh is transcribed ('That's the person saying?', 2:24:18; the re-transcription of 2:24:07-2:25:03 has 'That's the person saying.'); a speaker then spoke and said 'I bow tie' (2:24:52; p=0.73 in the re-transcription), which is not credited to Singh by elimination. Little's answer begins 'No, we need more housing' (2:17:36, 'No' p=0.49) and ends 'I vote aye' (2:19:23). Griffin confirmed 'That is correct' when the clerk asked 'You voted aye, correct?' (2:27:42). Lavarro answered 'I vote yes' (2:34:26). Clerk announced 'City Ordinance 26-045 is adopted 702 with Council Members Gilmore and Council President Ridley abstaining' at 2:38:09. Transcript count 6-0-2. The ordinance's final vote table gives 9-0 with every member AYE. Singh: answer as read by Adam Hanford on the video, or from the clerk's announced count where the audio is silent ('7-0-2. Singh votes aye'). Published on Adam Hanford's decision of 2026-10-18.
