How the board recorded votes The meeting used roll‑call voting. Where motions required follow‑up (for example, the audit findings and committee formation), staff were given explicit tasks and deadlines to report back to the board. For informational items (transportation presentation), the board received reports and requested future action items; there was no immediate vote.
