Council decisions that name Ward 8
50 agenda items at 38 council and committee meetings named Ward 8 in their title (33 different titles: the same matter often goes to a committee first and then to council). Items marked "City Wide" or that name no ward are not counted, so this is a guide to local items, not every decision that affects the ward. Newest first.
