For transparency, transcripts show the motions and the places where the board voiced the vote. Where a roll-call tally with member names was not given in the public remarks, the vote is described as “approved” or “unanimous” according to the board’s spoken result in the meeting. If the transcript recorded a dissenting statement, the report notes that one or more commissioners announced opposition during the roll call.

Ending: Commissioners approved the listed items and directed staff on follow-up steps associated with each action (recruitment for human-services board seats, closing documents and environmental review for the land purchase, continued damage assessments and recovery actions for storm response).
