Context and notes: The transcript records repeated roll calls with five recorded yes votes (Ms. Boynton, Ms. Turner Burch, Mr. Akins, Ms. Macklin, Ms. Carter) on routine resolutions and real-estate valuation appeals. Where the transcript did not include a named mover or seconder for a specific resolution, the article lists the recorded roll-call results rather than attributing a motion to an individual not documented in the record. The board announced it will hold further discussion on one valuation appeal at the March 20 meeting.
