Item 1 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is the routine housekeeping step where Council signs off on the official records of its April 21 work session and April 23 regular meeting. Approving minutes makes those records the formal account of what happened, but it doesn't decide any new policy.
The official agenda language
