Supervisors signaled agreement with that timeline; no separate roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript for adopting the timeline.
The board carried all recorded motions by either voice vote or, where noted, by roll call. If exact mover/second names are required for individual motions beyond those specified, the minutes should be consulted for formal identification.
