Municipal Council, September 23, 2026

Item 4.9 · second reading and public hearing · Approved · 3:08:35
8-0-1 8 ayes, 0 nays, 1 abstention, roll call at 3:13:08
Final consideration and adoption. Little's answer is transcribed 'Epstein' (3:13:20) in the full pass and 'Abstain.' (3:13:20, p=0.80) in the re-transcription of 3:13:13-3:13:41; the record has Little abstaining. Singh is called at 3:13:24 and no answer is heard in the full pass; the re-transcription has 'Aye.' (3:13:26, p=1.00). After the call of Griffin both passes have 'Can I vote?' (3:13:28) and then 'Yep' (full pass) or 'Aye.' (re-transcription), both at p=0.20 (3:13:32); neither is a heard answer, so the record has Griffin not-voting. Lavarro spoke and answered 'I vote aye' (3:13:58). Clerk announced 'city ordinance 26-076 is adopted 801 with Councilperson Little abstaining' at 3:14:06; the minutes record 'Approved 9-0'; the ordinance's final vote table gives 8-0-1 with Little ABSTAIN. Transcript count 7-0-1 (8-0-1 if Griffin's p=0.20 aye is counted). The minutes record the action as 'Approved', and the record uses the minutes' word (EDITORIAL.md section 5); the clerk said 'adopted'. Adam's open question on the clerk's word against the minutes' word (council-2026-08-19, item 10.57) covers the action word; the vote is held on the tally. Griffin: answer as read by Adam Hanford on the video, or from the clerk's announced count where the audio is silent ('8-0-1. Based on clerks number and I heard Brooks say aye.'). Published on Adam Hanford's decision of 2026-10-18.
