City Council Enacts Orders Despite Partial Majority Support
The council narrowly approves a minority report by 100 yeas to 7 nays while the majority report is defeated 9 to 7. A conference committee recommends passing the majority report, but a special appropriation fails due to required vote rules. Additional actions include funding petitions, licenses, sidewalks, and sewer projects, with several appointments and a 24 mill tax rate.
