← 2014 · all years

The city's portal stops serving agenda documents after 2 November 2015. The last four meetings of the year were read back out of the City Clerk's scanned index volume instead, and those rows are marked scan-read. Their wording is the scan's: the optical reading is rough in places, and it is shown as read rather than tidied.

The clerk's own numbering, from the Final Actions document published after each 2015 meeting. [?] 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.
