Item 31.1 · memorialization · Memorialized · 5:33:49
9-0 9 ayes, 0 nays, roll call at 5:36:47
One roll call memorialized the seven resolutions read from 5:33:49 to 5:36:39 (items 31.1 to 31.7). No motion is heard; a second is heard at 5:36:44, speakers not named. The secretary's roll call began at 5:36:47; Commissioner Barnaby, called twice, answered 'I'm sorry, aye.' (5:37:03), and every other member answered aye. 'Motion carries all in favor to memorialize resolutions.' (5:37:28); no count announced. The resolution memorialized, RESO P2024-0088 (resolution of denial; decided June 30, 2026), prints the June 30 hearing's vote, not this one. Whether every member was eligible to vote on this case was not checked against the June 30 hearing. Published on Adam Hanford's decision of 2026-10-18.

Item 20.3 · memorialization · Memorialized · 3:54:58
8-0 8 ayes, 0 nays, roll call at 3:56:01
The reader said the denial resolution must be re-memorialized because 'Councilwoman Little was recused from the action' and should not have voted to memorialize it; Little was not present (3:55:30 to 3:55:45). Motion: 'I will approve the memorialization of the stated application.' (3:55:55), speaker not named; no second heard. Roll call 'On a motion to approve' from 'Commissioner Barnaby.' (3:56:05, word timing): Barnaby 'Aye.' (3:56:06) at p 0.34 in the full pass and p 0.02 in the re-transcription without VAD of 3:56:01 to 3:56:12, below 0.5 in both: not-voting. Kaplan asked whether it was 'a motion to deny' and was told 'It is a motion to memorialize the denying resolution', then 'Aye.' (3:56:19, p 1.00). Conaway, called three times, 'Aye. I was still on mute. Aye.' (3:56:33 to 3:56:35, p 0.92 and 1.00). Patel, Capers, Stamato, Wick 'Aye.' (p 1.00); Gangadin 'Aye.' (3:56:52, p 0.97). Little absent. Heard: 7 ayes (tally as heard). 'Okay, motion carries.' (3:56:54). No count announced.
