Where the transcript did not record named movers, seconds, or roll-call tallies, the minutes show standard board procedure ("So moved. Second.") followed by an "Aye" count; the transcript does not provide numeric tallies or individual member votes for these items. The board president called for abstentions or oppositions where appropriate and recorded none or recorded an abstention in a few instances; specific counts were not given in the available transcript.
These routine approvals accompany the district’s decision to publish budget materials and levy guidance for voters, described in a separate budget discussion earlier in the meeting.
