MINOR
The document transitioned from a Mayor's letter requesting emergency approval to the official enrolled resolution text. The substantive policy content regarding the Aetna health contract, including the $1.576 billion funding amount and the five-year term, remains unchanged. The primary differences are the removal of the cover letter and the addition of standard legislative formatting and a specific resolution number (26-234).
TECHNICAL
Removed the Mayor's cover letter, signature block, and introductory context.
Added official enrolled header, resolution number (26-234), and date (November 4, 2025).
Reformatted text to match standard legislative style, including minor punctuation adjustments and consistent capitalization.
