4 to 2
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 4-2 to end debate on $15 million in state bond financing for the Harbour View Apartments development, with Councilmember Bates abstaining. This procedural vote cut off further discussion before the council could vote on the actual housing project financing. The bonds would be issued by a state authority, not the city, but state law requires a public hearing before they can be approved. Councilmembers Boozé and Rogers opposed ending the debate, suggesting they wanted more discussion on this housing finance matter.
