Presenter:  
Sarah B. Johnson, City Clerk

Citizen Reverend Joshua Rumple requested that Councilmember  
Donelson’s refusal to take a photo for the Joint Proclamation recognizing  
Martin Luther King Jr. Day and walking out be reflected in the January 13,  
2026 City Council meeting minutes.  
President Crow-Iverson requested the City Clerk to outline the process for  
City Council meeting minutes. Sarah B. Johnson, City Clerk, explained that  
City Council meeting minutes are written as summary minutes which are  
historically taken that way across the state and in the City. She stated  
believes the minutes from the January 13, 2026 City Council meeting  
captured what was said in a short synopsis and it is not noted in the  
minutes every time a Councilmember walks in or out of the room. She  
stated the minutes do reflect if a Councilmember arrives late or leaves  
early, but they do not reflect if a Councilmember leaves momentarily for a  
comfort break, etc.  
Consensus of Council agreed to approve the minutes as written.  
Motion by Councilmember Leinweber, seconded by Councilmember  
Williams, that the City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 13, 2026  
be approved. The motion passed by a vote of 8-1-0-0
