Notes on voting records and tallies: Most approvals were taken by voice vote with “aye/aye” responses recorded on the audio transcript; the meeting does not include detailed roll‑call tallies for the routine items in the public transcript. Where roll call was used (executive session), trustees recorded their votes by name.

Speakers who moved or seconded motions are not always identified by name in the transcript for each motion; where a named maker or seconder did speak and was recorded, that attribution is included in the official minutes rather than the public audio excerpt.
