Councilmember Morgan, Vice Mayor Craven, and Mayor McDonald concurred.

Vice Mayor Craven moved, seconded by Councilmember Morgan, to adopt the redlined policy as presented.

Motion carried 5-0.

Councilmembers Kildee, Morgan, Trembley, and Vice Mayor Craven did not support amendment D3, which would prevent two councilmembers from serving at the same time on a non-profit board requesting City funding. The Council took no action on
