1987
The clerk's sections and numbering, as written in the 1987 index volume. [?] marks an uncertain reading; ⤳ marks a numbering jump. scan opens the city's PDF. not scanned marks a paper the city's digital archive does not hold: the entry is real and the document existed, but the city's digitization skipped it, so the clerk's index line is what survives online. 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.
