Notes on voting and procedure

- Most approvals were voice votes with affirmations of ‘‘aye’’ recorded in the transcript; no roll-call vote tallies identifying individual commissioners’ votes appear in the recorded excerpts. Several motions included commissioner recusals on specific warrants or collections as noted in the public record.

- When the board amended the 2025–26 budget (Resolution 25-20-25-19), the board cited state statute as the authority to change a general fund budget by resolution.
