How votes were recorded
Most actions were approved by voice vote during the meetings; the transcript records the motions, seconds and a voice approval for each item but does not include roll-call tallies for those motions. When board members asked for clarifications (noted in the transcript), staff said they would return with accounting details or bring GMPs and award recommendations back to the boards for separate votes.
Ending
Staff will follow up on bookkeeping clarifications, the GMP for the Riverfront project, and the outstanding items the boards asked to return with additional documentation.
