Where roll calls are recorded in the minutes, individual board members responded "Aye." No roll-call opposition was recorded on the main consent and administrative approvals discussed during the meeting.
Ending: The board closed the meeting after committee reports, administrative updates and a brief series of resident non-agenda comments.
