The minutes give the count (5-5-0) and name Michael Cannon, George King, Janet Leombruno, Philip Ottaviani and John Stefanini, but the count does not add up to the 10 councilors present, so MassVoter shows the count only. The minutes say Tracey Bryant was not in the room or not voting; left out of this vote.
