The city's scan of the 1970 index volume is incomplete: only a fraction of the year survives in it. The docket below is what the surviving pages hold. The gap is the scan's, not the council's.

The clerk's sections and numbering, as written in the 1970 index volume. [?] marks an uncertain reading; ⤳ marks a numbering jump. scan opens the city's PDF. Where the document itself has been read, name is its main sponsor and 9 the members voting in favour. A voice vote records only that count; where the council took a roll call the record keeps both sides, 6–3, and where a measure lost, 1–7. Neither ever records who cast which vote.
