Consent agenda (agenda item 3.01) Motion: Approve items on the consent agenda as presented. Outcome: Passed by voice vote.
Accounts payable (agenda item 6.01) Motion: Approve accounts payable as presented. Outcome: Passed with two abstentions recorded (two board members disclosed potential conflicts and abstained); motion carried.

Provenance: Each action above corresponds to the board's discussion in the meeting transcript; topic-specific transcript references are included in each article covering the subject matter.
