Several items were moved off the consent agenda for separate discussion before votes (the Garner technology reimbursement and a fire/EMS maintenance budget item). The board's votes were recorded as unanimous in each case where a roll-call was called or the chair asked "All in favor?" and no oppositions were voiced.
Motions noted above are recorded on the meeting agenda and minutes; staff will finalize and post the approved agreements and adoption documents on the town website.
