Notes on voting records: Most approvals in the transcript were recorded as voice votes; the transcript does not include a full roll-call tally for each item. Where the transcript records an opposition (sheriff lease), the article(s) note the opposition. If a formal roll-call is required, the county clerk’s official minutes should be consulted for the certified vote totals.
