What the meeting does not show: The transcript does not include full contract documents, award amounts for every contract, or implementation timelines for projects that will require further board approvals or staff action. Several items (for example panic‑bar exits and safety infrastructure discussed elsewhere in the meeting) were described as future board projects but did not have project budgets approved at this session.
