Meeting record notes: in each case the roll was taken by voice ("All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion's carried"), and the minutes show motions and second names in the public meeting audio for some items but no recorded roll‑call tallies in the transcript excerpt. Where a mover or seconder was spoken on the record the minutes did not consistently capture a formal roll‑call tally; the public record shows these routine consent items passed by majority voice vote.
