Coverage starts in 2025. History is still being collected. 14 listed meetings await collection or refresh. Individual votes appear only when recorded by the clerk; voice votes do not identify each member's position. Tallies count both No and Nay as votes against; individual rows keep the clerk's wording.

"Other" is everything the clerk recorded besides Aye or No: excused, absent, abstaining, voting "present", or presiding without a vote, shown on each row exactly as recorded. "On the losing side" counts Aye and No votes that ended opposite the clerk's recorded outcome, of 0 with an outcome on record. Attendance is meetings where the roll call records the member present, of the meetings where the roll was called with the member listed. The record also includes presiding entries where the mayor did not cast a vote.

Votes with dissent · 20

Items where at least one member voted No, showing Satya V. Rhodes-Conway's vote and the council's tally. Each row names the action voted on, which may be a referral or postponement rather than final passage, and links to the clerk's record.
