Introduction → Enrollment · 3 edits

MINOR

The document transitioned from a cover letter and draft resolution to an enrolled (final) version of a legislative resolution. The core policy content remains substantively unchanged, with the primary differences being formatting, numbering, and the addition of official enrollment markings indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages.

TECHNICAL

Added enrollment markings and official document numbering (e.g., 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL', bill number '26-146') indicating the resolution has been formally enrolled and is ready for transmission.

Removed the cover letter addressed to Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, including the letterhead, contact information, and enclosure notation.

Adjusted document formatting and section numbering throughout the resolution text to align with official enrolled document standards.
