What changed between versions

Introduction → Enrollment · 5 edits
MODERATE
The bill text was converted from a mayor's cover letter and draft resolution format to an enrolled official resolution format. The substantive policy content regarding bond issuance, funding amounts, and project scope remained largely unchanged, though some formatting and numbering adjustments were made during the enrollment process.
TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a mayor's cover letter with a proposed resolution to an enrolled original resolution format, which is the official version used for legislative record-keeping.

The resolution title and citation changed from 'Maret School, Inc. Revenue Bonds Project Emergency Approval Resolution of 2025' to include the bill number '26-97' in the enrolled version.

The resolution date was updated from March 25, 2025 (in the mayor's letter) to April 1, 2025 (in the enrolled resolution), reflecting the official adoption date.

Formatting and numbering were adjusted throughout the definitions section to conform to official enrolled resolution standards, though the actual definition content remained consistent.

The mayor's signature block and cover letter content were removed as they are not part of the official enrolled resolution text.
