Summary: Most motions were procedural or budgetary approvals and carried unanimously in the meeting record. Where individual board members were named during roll-call, Roberts was recorded voting yes; in most roll-calls the board recorded aggregate tallies rather than listing all members by name.
If formal warrant articles or contract awards are needed, the board will schedule those as separate votes and provide full warrant or contract language for public review.
