Ask why council member tagged adult literacy funding ordinance

Context: Ordinance 2026-0849 was tagged by Council Member Alcorn on September 23, 2026 as Item 15, removed from the consent agenda, and passed September 30, 2026 as Item 44 with no stated rationale in the record.

Recommended: Ask Council Member Alcorn's office what concern prompted the tag on the $400,000 adult literacy appropriation, and whether it was resolved by amendment or answered by staff. The record shows the item was pulled from consent, but not the reason, so the public cannot tell if the funding changed.
