How to read the tallies: Where a roll call was given in the transcript, the clerk named members and recorded each yes/no; some motions lacked a clearly named mover in the public record. Where the transcript did not record a mover/second, the article lists the motion as presented in the meeting minutes.
Ending: The board approved several capital and software investments and moved several budget items forward. The bills-for-payment item (J1) was tabled pending an executive-session review of a personnel/procedural matter.
