Votes
Extend the meeting to 12:30 a.m.
6 to 2
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 6-2 to extend their meeting past midnight to continue discussing city business, with Councilmembers Bates and Butt opposed. This procedural vote allowed them to keep working on the remaining agenda items, including the port security camera contract amendment that would increase ADT Security's contract from $2.4 million to $2.6 million using grant funds. The meeting extension was necessary because the council had not finished all scheduled business by their normal adjournment time. This is a routine administrative decision that councils make when they need more time to complete their work.

Approved the contract amendment with ADT Security
8 to 0
Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved expanding the port security camera project, increasing the ADT Security contract from $2.4 million to $2.6 million. The additional $200,000 will cover extra work that wasn't included in the original plan and will be paid for with grant money rather than city funds. This project installs security cameras at the port to improve safety monitoring. The unanimous vote reflects the council's typical strong support for contract items, with all members historically approving over 84% of contracts.
