Procedural notes
Most actions were routine, voice‑vote decisions with no formal roll‑call recorded in the meeting transcript. When the transcript records only a voice vote, the article lists the outcome as recorded by the commission. If the transcript did not provide mover/second or roll‑call counts, the entry notes that the transcript does not specify those details.
