Source: County Council Special Meeting minutes, 15 Dec 2025 (CivicClerk file 3784) — the same document under the paired Public Hearing event is file 3785. Councilmember Batangan is not listed in these minutes (the roll call records 8 councilmembers, TOTAL PRESENT 8). Parse integrity: the flattened AYE/NO checkmark columns in the extracted PDF text are ambiguous on their own; the per-member assignment above is resolved from the checkmark column offsets and cross-validated against the minutes’ own printed tally (exactly the 3 wide-offset marks — Sugimura, Cook, Lee — equal the tally’s 3 noes). Every name and vote is from the minutes text; nothing is asserted beyond the document. Full report: 2025-12-15 votes page.
