14-G-223
of Section "H" of the Second General Committee Report dated August 11, 2014, concerning the City -wide Development Charge By -law be amended by deleting paragraph 8 and replacing it with the following
The motion, as the minutes record it: Upon the question of adoption of the original motion moved by Councillor, P. Silveira and seconded Councillor, B. Ward, as AMENDED by Amendments #1, #2, #3 and #4, the vote was taken as follows:
"Yes" is a vote to carry that motion; "No" is a vote against it.
Where
the motion adopts a report section "as circulated", the vote covers everything in that
section, this item included.

How to read this table. Most council business passes on consent, with no member-by-member vote in the minutes.
The practice of recording votes by name
has changed: such votes were routine through 2019, and from 2020 on usually appear only when a
member asks for one. This table is every vote the minutes record by name. A member's absence
from it says nothing about their position. The voice votes are in the record too:
the minutes print 3,038 motion outcomes across
269 meetings, beside these 188 recorded votes. Each is listed on its
meeting's page as an outcome only, because a voice vote records no one's position. The City's
meeting system lists no meetings at all between October 22, 2025 and January 20, 2026, so any
recorded votes from that window are missing until the Clerk provides the minutes. Where the
minutes print no outcome beside a vote, none is shown here.

Each row links to the minutes document it was
transcribed from; names appear exactly as the minutes print them.
Decided on voice votes
A voice vote records an outcome and nobody's position. That is how council disposes of most business — the recorded votes above exist only where a member asked for one. The motions below are outcomes only; reading a member's view into any of them is reading beyond the record.
