Notes on attribution and vote records: Where the meeting transcript named a mover or seconder those names are recorded above. When the transcript recorded the committee outcome verbally (for example, “that’s unanimous”), that outcome is reported. For Doc ID 13132 the transcript records debate and a vote call but does not record a roll‑call tally or explicit pass/fail announcement in the public record excerpt provided.
