The evening's marquee action was the first appointment of members to the city's new Restorative Justice Commission, a body established to address harms to historically underserved communities of color. The council then filled seven seats on the consolidated Housing & Human Services Commission. The appointments unfolded through a QR-code ranked-choice balloting system that repeatedly lagged as council members nominated candidates, some of whom were not on the printed lists. Ahead of the vote, the Committee for Racial Justice had urged the council to select particular applicants. For the Restorative Justice Commission, the group endorsed five people, three of whom — St. Claire, Gunn and Wells — were appointed.
