Notes on voting and attribution: The meeting used voice votes for routine items and consent agenda additions; the transcript records “Aye” responses and the chair announcing “Motion carries.” The transcript rarely records roll‑call tallies or individual member votes, so where specific member votes are required for record, the county minutes should be consulted.
