Extend the meeting for 10 minutes

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to extend their meeting by 10 minutes, with only Councilmember Butt voting against the extension. This was a routine procedural motion to allow more time for discussion, not a decision on the actual Neighborhood Change Agent position itself. The extension passed despite Butt's opposition, allowing the council to continue deliberating on whether to create this new employee classification that would let the city hire people for neighborhood outreach work.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved creating a new job classification called "Neighborhood Change Agent," though only five members were present to vote. This administrative step allows the city to officially hire people for this role and establish their pay scale, but doesn't commit any specific funding yet. The vote was routine personnel business that sets up the framework for potential future hires in this position. Four council members were absent from the meeting.
