Notes on the roll calls and procedure
The minutes record the roll‑call responses named above. Several other items were taken as consent agenda items and approved by single roll call earlier in the meeting. For items where the transcript did not explicitly state the mover or seconder by name, the record shows a motion and a second on the floor and a roll call outcome; those mover/second fields are left empty in this summary rather than risk misattribution.

Why it matters: The dollar approvals listed here direct multi‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar payments (airline reconciliations, capital improvements), advance procurement and security work at town buildings, and ratify application support for housing grant funds that underpin Chamisa Verde phase 2 planning. Council votes now set the town’s near‑term spending and procurement priorities.
