The transcript records roll-call approvals in most cases; where a recorded vote appears the court’s recorded roll calls show unanimous approval among the voting members present. Several items require further administrative steps (state approval for road funding, invoicing and reimbursement for the debris plan, vendor scheduling for election maintenance). The court did not record votes to adopt private roads discussed later in the meeting; that item was set for future consideration.
