Where available, meeting presenters gave brief rationale during roll call presentations. In most cases the motions and seconds were called from the dais and roll-call votes were taken; the meeting record shows unanimous approval on the above items. The meeting did not disclose purchase prices or the final contract terms for the University of Akron property; it also did not record a line-item budget appropriation tied to that potential purchase during this session.
The board recessed to hold a special commissioners meeting on a separate county-home facility discussion that commissioners said warranted more focused attention.
