- 00:30:22Executive Mayor's question time: PFA fundingActionSA's Cllr Nkonyeni asked whether the city has funding to cover the PFA. The Executive Mayor said the city is negotiating with the trade unions, having approved salary scales in 2024. He said negotiations are on track and council will be updated once the PFA implementation is finalised.

- 00:54:39Recommendations to council and elevation of itemsThe Executive Mayor and the Chair of Chairs tabled their recommendations. The Leader of Executive Business, the Deputy Executive Mayor, asked that items 13, 17, 27, 32 and 26 be taken first. The Speaker agreed to take those items first.
- 00:58:17Item 13: Addendum to MTC Service Delivery AgreementThe DA's Cllr Kreusch opposed the item, arguing MTC should be reincorporated into the city and services internalised. The executive's response was asked for as the Leader of Executive Business, and a party-by-party vote followed. The item was carried with 114 yes, 91 no and 2 abstentions.
- 01:12:47Item 17: Funding plan for medium-term capital budget 2026/27–2028/29Debate on a plan for about R10 billion in long-term external borrowing over three years plus up to R5 billion short-term facilities. The ACDP noted the report. FF+, ActionSA and the DA opposed it, citing timing before the election, reliance on future cash flows and a disputed 90% collection rate. The ANC and MMC Masuku supported it, citing 28% gearing and the need for service delivery.
