What the record did not show in full: The public record in the meeting transcript noted “motion passes” for many items but did not contain a complete roll-call vote count for each consent item in the public comments transcript. For precise vote tallies and attachments (procurement evaluations, RFP scoring sheets, property lists for the land-bank transfer), consult the official meeting packet and clerk’s materials.
