From January 21, 2020 to December 16, 2025. 63 votes are marked not recorded because the minutes' attendance and tally don't account for every member. Each count is per agenda item, not per meeting: missing one meeting counts as absent for every item on its agenda, and consent agenda items each count separately. A yes is counted only when everyone present is accounted for in the tally. Motions count once per item, so moving a consent agenda counts for each item on it.

The packet version of the agreement ties reimbursement to occupancy and to increment the agency actually receives, and the amended budget's printed total differs from the sum of its parts.
• A lawsuit filed in 2026 challenges the city's use of the Eagle Mountain rodeo grounds FOX 13 reported in March 2026 that the Eagle Mountain Founders Group sued over the rodeo grounds; the city denied the claims.
